Academics
The Athletic Department recognizes that the primary responsibility of student athletes is educational. Therefore, the Athletic Department supports the concept that student athletes should work to their potential in the classroom and be committed to achieving maximum academic success. While scholastic achievement is determined on an individual basis, the administration and the Athletic Department reserve the right to determine a student athlete’s eligibility to participate in athletic contests and practices.

Athletic Physical Examination
A yearly sports physical examination is required. The school physician must administer sports physicals. All students have the opportunity to receive a physical from the school doctor in the spring of each year. This physical clears the student for the entire next athletic year. STUDENTS MAY NOT PARTICIPATE WITHOUT A SPORT PHYSICAL. Student’s medical forms will be kept on file in the athletic office and a copy given to each coach at the start of the sport season.
In addition, a Health History Review form must be completed prior to the start of each sport season. This form MUST be presented to the coach on the first day of practice. The only exception would be if a student received his/her sports physical within 30 days of the start of a sports season.
A student who has been injured and has had medical treatment may not participate again until he/she has presented a note to the school nurse giving medical clearance.

Attendance In School
Students must be in attendance at school all day and attend all classes to be eligible for participation in games or practices on that day. Exceptions can be made for extenuating circumstances with the approval of the Athletic Director and building administrator.
Students who do not participate in Physical Education class due to injury or illness may not participate in interscholastic games or practices on that day. New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) regulations state that a student must be a bona fide pupil and be enrolled in physical education to participate in athletics.
The building administrator will notify the Athletic Director of students who are administratively removed from athletic participation.

Uniforms and Equipment
At the beginning of every season, all student athletes are given uniforms and equipment necessary for their sport. It is the responsibility of every athlete to take care of the equipment. If there are problems and equipment needs to be repaired or is lost, it should be brought to the attention of the coach immediately. The student athlete is ultimately responsible for all equipment issued to them. At the end of the season, all equipment/uniforms that were provided must be returned. If there are any items missing, you will be required to pay to replace them.
