Varsity Letter Requirements

An athlete must satisfy three of the four aspects to be awarded a varsity letter for the 2016 season.

  • Attend all practices and contests unless excused by Coach Rowles.
  • Work hard and constantly strive to improve for yourself and the team. Your actions reflect your effort and determination. This is both an individual and a team sport. Your work ethic impacts all aspects of the team.
  • Two or more consecutive years on the team.
  • Participate on the sectional team.

Substance Use and Abuse

Student athletes are not allowed to drink / smoke / partake of illegal substances. You sign a code of conduct that states you will do none of those things while in season. I hold you to this agreement. If an athlete is suspected to be under the influence at a practice/game or is known to partake during non-team time, the athlete will be subject to immediate suspension or removal from the team.

Feel free to contact me via email with any questions or concerns.

Take care,

Coach Emily Rowles
