Esports Team Student Contract 2024-2025
Hazing is forcing, coercing or cajoling a student into any action that is demeaning, dangerous or abusive in order for that student to be accepted in a group. Examples: Trash-canning, duct taping, depantsing, dog piling, cross dressing, paddling, giving a pink belly, etc.
If I take part in hazing the following will occur:
I can and will be prosecuted for taking part in hazing rituals. Many forms of hazing are also considered aggravated assault or sexual assault.
I can be kicked out of school.
I will be removed from the team.
II. Alcohol, Drugs and Pornography
Esports practice, tournaments and all other related school events will be free of drugs, alcohol and pornography.
If I am caught under the influence, or possessing drugs or alcohol, the police will be notified, and I will face school discipline as prescribed by the athletics handbook.
It is never my place to retaliate with physical violence. If I engage in such behavior, I will be removed from the team and police will be called.
In order to compete, I must have a 70 and above all of their classes. If I am failing a class, I will be on probation for a week. Players can practice and compete during that probationary period. If I am failing a second week in a row, then I may not practice or compete with my team. This ban will be lifted once I am passing all of my classes for a full week. I must also maintain and not violate my AUP.
V. While at practice I will:
Follow the instructions of my coaches and the more experienced players.
Keep my speaking volume to a level that does not distract other players. I will refrain from cursing or using objectionable language.
Respect my fellow players and their property. I will not touch or take any of their equipment without their permission.
Clean up after myself and respect the facilities.
Notify Mr. Mitchell if I leave early and explain the reason why I am leaving early or arriving late.
Only play games that are approved by my parents or guardians and the school.
Focus on Esports while at practice.
If a student fails to follow minor rules, they will be warned, suspended from practice and eventually removed from the team. If a major infraction occurs then they will be removed from the team.
Students need to arrive before 3:45 to practice. Once attendance is taken, students will perform light exercise to get the blood flowing and prepare them to perform at their best. Students who are not physically able to perform, need to notify Mr. Mitchell immediately and provide appropriate doctor’s notes or a parent letter.
The school will provide: internet, computers, mice, keyboards and monitors. If a student is playing a console game, they will need to provide their own console, copy of the game, online account (Xbox Live, PSN, etc.). For computer games, students will need to purchase their own copy of the game, if it is not free. If equipment is damaged, lost, or stolen, then it is the responsibility of the player to replace it or pay for it. If the damage is normal wear-and-tear, then the player will not be expected to pay for it.
Food is not allowed during practice. We are using sensitive equipment and crumbs can damage it. You can eat your food before practice, but it should not be junk food.
Drinks are allowed in practice but they should be imbibed away from the machines. You cannot drink energy drinks at practice.
We are here to practice and that should be the main focus of your time. Most players only have practice 2-3 days a week. Use the other days for test retakes and homework make-up.
Currently, games will start a 4:00pm. Some of the games might require you to stay later than 6:30. If you leave early, you will forfeit the match. If games take longer than our normal practice time, you need to make accommodations for a ride home or a place to stay in town.
You need to attend the practice before competition days.
You need to keep up with league rule changes and follow all directions established in the league handbook. You can find the league handbook on the PlayFly website. If the AIA requires you to create an account with PlayFly, then you will need to do so or you cannot compete.
You, or your team captain, need to have a discord account that you can use to connect with opposing team captains. It is your responsibility to contact them. You, or your team captain, need to upload match results to the PlayVS website.
Students who have to continually forfeit due to grades, poor attendance, loss of AUP, etc. may be banned from playing in following seasons. The school has to pay for each student who competes. If you cannot participate because of your own mistakes, then the school may not continue to pay for your involvement.
You will be asked to verify that you have read and agree with this contract. You can find the form on our recruitment page. Players cannot participate until they and their guardians have digitally completed the forms. If you do not have internet access, please request a hard copy from Mr.Fortuna.
