ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY RULES 

Suspensions 

A. In all team and individual sports, ejection or disqualification from a game, meet, or match for unsportsmanlike behavior of any form, by a coach or a player, shall result in the suspension of that player or coach from that game, meet, or match and the next regularly scheduled or postponed game, meet, or match. This rule applies to a game, meet, or match suspended before completion as well as a completed contest. This penalty may not be served by sitting out an exhibition, sub-varsity, or other competition. 

B. During the suspension, the student must dress in uniform for the game and must sit on the bench but not play. 

C. If the suspended student does not comply with the foregoing rules, an additional game of suspension shall be applied. 

No-Cut Policy, K-6 

Elementary athletic programs are intended to encourage the widest possible participation among students. Therefore, cutting students from such programs is only permissible if budgetary or personnel constraints make it impossible for the school to adequately supervise and coach all students who wish to participate.
