ATTENDANCE:
Bowling season is a season that runs from the middle of November through the middle of February. Since practice time is limited, it is imperative that players attend every practice and every game. Excused absences include only:
SAT or PSAT
Official college visit for seniors
Absence from school
Please make every attempt to make appointments for times when you do not have practice. Leaving practice early or coming late can create problems.
Two unexcused absences will result in dismissal from the team.
PRACTICE/ GAMES:
Bowlers should meet in room 16 no later than 2:10pm for practice and games. The bus picks players up and transports to our bowling alley, the Deptford Bowlero. As per school policy, bowlers may NOT drive themselves or other bowlers to matches or practice. If a parent wishes to take their child home, a note must be submitted and approved through Mr. Morrell prior to that day.
EQUIPMENT:
Bowlers are encouraged to purchase their own bowling shoes, ball, and ball bag. If a player is unable to do so, he or she may borrow shoes and a ball from the alley at no charge. Please note that bowling balls should be sized and drilled according to each individual, therefore a "house" ball may interfere with performance.
SMOKING/DRINKING/DRUGS:
Under NO circumstances should a player smoke, drink alcohol, or use any type of illicit drug. Not only is it illegal, but it WILL impair your performance on and off the lanes. The team needs every player at peak physical and mental condition at all times. A player violating this rule will be suspended from all team activity for 15 days, and from games for an additional 15 days.
COMMUNICATION WITH COACHES:
If at any time you have questions or concerns about anything, please see your captain (if it’s a problem the captain can handle) and then see your coach. Don’t be shy. Players should act at their own advocates, attempting to solve problems through proper channels on their own. If you feel you are not satisfied with the results, then we can set up a conference with the head coach and with or without parents.
