The mission of the Woodlawn High School Athletic Department is to create an environment that maximizes student participation, supports academic progress and promotes physical and social development. It is expected that all student-athletes display competitive spirit, exhibit good sportsmanship, and exemplary character throughout the year.
• It is expected that all athletes will abstain from performance enhancing drugs as well as illegal drugs including alcohol and tobacco products, and demonstrate respect for diversity among participants as it relates to race relations, crosscultural understanding and human rights.
• All athletes must be under 19 years of age as of Sept. 30th of the current school year and are eligible for three consecutive years of competition beginning with their first year of high school (grade 10).
• Athletes agree to commit to a team and attend team practices, games, exhibition games, tournaments and meetings for the full and complete season. Athletes who choose to withdraw from a team must notify the coach and Athletic Director/Principal.
• The sport “in season” has priority over all other sports, practices or meetings.
• An athlete must remain in good standing at all times within Woodlawn High School. This includes the school year leading up to, during the sport, and after the sport season has concluded. Failure to do so may prohibit trying out for and participating on future teams. See terms of Good Standing Below…
• Student athletes are reminded all school rules apply at all school sponsored activities. This includes games, practices, tournaments etc. both at school and away from school. Student athletes must be present in school during the day to participate in an extracurricular activity unless approved by the administration prior to the event.
• A review committee monitors athlete academic standing, their attendance at school, as well as their ability to responsibly adhere to the guidelines and expectations as listed in our student handbook. Failure to remain in good standing may result in a student athlete being placed on temporary probation, being temporarily suspended from a team or permanent removal from active participation and involvement with a team.
If you want to play, we can help! Our Individual Child Grants help families in financial need cover the costs of participating in sport and recreation.
