SUNSET RIDGE CROSS COUNTRY CODE OF CONDUCT 2016

Dear Athletes and Parents,

Welcome to Sunset Ridge’s 2016 cross country season! Listed below you will find our policies and procedures for our program.

  • Practices

All athletes are expected to be on time and at every practice. Practice will be in afternoon starting at 3:35 two times per week.

Missing practice on a regular basis (2+ times), ineligibility, and certain behavior/attitude issues will result in removal from the team. This is dealt with on an individual basis considering everyone’s situation is different.

  • Absences

If an athlete is ever ill and cannot be at practice they must contact the coach. (623-445-7871). It is expected that they are at practice if they are at school, although this is also dealt with on an individual basis.

Consistently missing practice will result in removal from the team. Please try to schedule doctor appointments accordingly so that practice is not missed.

  • Being Late

If an athlete knows they are going to be late, they must communicate it to the coach. (623-445-7871). Telling a teammate is not acceptable.

  • Behavior

All athletes are expected to exhibit pride, respect and discipline. Be leaders in the classroom, on campus, and during all school related events.

School rules and consequences will apply for any inappropriate behavior. Any incidence of an athlete being suspended from school (on or off campus) may result in removal from the team.

  • Academics

All athletes are expected to remain eligible for athletics. If at anytime during the season a student/athlete becomes ineligible, they will not be able to compete for at least a week. Being ineligible for more than 2 weeks may result in removal from the team. Student are ineligible if they are failing any classes. Grades are expected to brought up to passing before being able to compete in any meets.

  • Booster/Participation Fee

There is a $75.00 fee per athlete which will include their team shirt. Checks should be made out to Sunset Ridge School. This $75.00 fee is our fundraiser that helps pay meet entry fees, travel and equipment expenses. If you would like to donate more, you are welcome to do so. Please use the tax donation available online.

We look forward to a fun, rewarding and successful season. Parents, we would like to thank you in advance for your support and cooperation. Athletes, we would like to thank you in advance for your hard work and dedication. Please remember that extracurricular athletics at Sunset Ridge School are a privilege, not a right.

Thank you,

Coach Cusson
