Academics: As a member of the athletic program, you are called a “student athlete”. The word student comes before the word athlete. As a student athlete you are expected to perform and behave in the school community (classroom, hallways, cafeteria, buses, and etc.). Academics are the first priority of a student athlete. Practice and playing time can and will be limited if a student athlete is performing or behaving poorly in any aspect of the community. You must maintain a 60 or above in each class including Related Arts. The Athletic Director will be checking grades on a weekly basis throughout the season. If a student is placed on academic probation, they must participate in practice, but they cannot dress out for a game. As a student athlete, you must keep up with my school work and behave in a way that is respectful to everyone.
Student Athlete Game Suspension: If a student athlete receives a suspension (ISS/OSS) they will have consequences when it comes to playing time. ISS–sitting out half a game; OSS–sitting out an entire game. Players are also subject to game suspension for other team and school discipline related issues.
Attitude and Sportsmanship: Student athletes are representing Rudolph Gordon School, their families, themselves, and their coach/teammates. Remember your teammates are working with you, not against you. At no point will it be acceptable to put down a teammate. A player shall never speak to a referee/umpire unless asked to do so by the official or coach. At no time should an athlete use profanity or taunt members of the opposing team. Athletes and their parents must demonstrate sportsmanship during all competitions/games. Any display of unsportsmanlike conduct will result in a consequence. As a student athlete, you must agree that you will play the game with respect and represent the school, myself, the team, and the coach in a positive manner.
RGS Athletic Uniforms: Each athlete will be temporarily given a RGS uniform to be worn during the season. The athlete is responsible for returning the uniform to their coach after the season is over. The parents of the athlete will be charged for each item not returned OR damaged.
Attendance: Players are expected to be at every practice, game, and meeting. If a player has an unexcused absence during a game week, they are subject to not participating in the game. All excused absences should be communicated to the coach before they happen. Missing practice or meetings due to detention or suspension will be counted as an unexcused absence. As a student athlete, you must agree that you will be at every practice, meeting, and game. Otherwise, you will need to communicate with the coach before any absence.
Please refer to the Rudolph Gordon School Student handbook for RGS procedures.
If you have any questions regarding this contract, please don’t hesitate to to call or email the athletic director or coach.
