EDUCATIONAL ATHLETICS - HURON VALLEY SCHOOLS
Athletic Department’s
Huron Valley Schools' Athletic Department supports
competition in educational athletics and promotes the development of character.
Statement of Philosophy
Huron Valley Schools believes that educational
athletics are an integral part of the total educational program. Competition in
educational athletics provides our student athletes experiences beyond the
academic curriculum. Success in educational athletics is measured qualitatively
– through the total experience for our student athletes – not quantitatively –
by wins and losses. Success is measured by the development of character, and
the essential elements of character are embodied in the tenets of
sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, dedication and
professionalism. Participation in educational athletics is a privilege, not a
right. Participation is reserved for our student athletes who demonstrate a
commitment to academics and the tenets of character. Working collaboratively coaches,
administrators and parents will serve as a valuable asset in the development of
our student athletes. This combined
support of the Athletic Department’s mission is critical to helping our
students reach their academic and athletic goals.
Student
Athletes’ Code of Conduct
The rules and procedures listed in the Code of Conduct
apply to all of our student athletes. Student athletes are expected to adhere
to the rules and procedures year round, including off-season and vacation
periods. Violations of the Code of Conduct will result in disciplinary
consequences, including suspension or expulsion from participation in
educational athletics.
The rules and procedures listed in the Code of Conduct
do not supersede or modify the Huron Valley Schools’ Code of Conduct, by which
all students are expected to comply. Violations of the Huron Valley Schools’
Code of Conduct will result in disciplinary consequences, including suspension
or expulsion from participation in educational athletics. Our student athletes
and their parents/guardians will sign an ‘Acknowledgement Form’ indicating
their understanding of the Athletic Department’s rules and procedures.
The Huron
Valley Schools Athletic Department abides by all rules and regulations of the
Michigan High School Athletic Association. The Athletic Code of Conduct is a
supplement to the student handbook. The athlete will follow all rules as
specified in both handbooks.

Indicates Varsity “Club” sports for which varsity letters may be earned. These
sports are self funded and are not currently sanctioned by the Michigan High
School Athletic Association
FRESHMAN TEAMS
Freshman level teams
serve the following purpose:
1.
To learn the rules of the sport and to develop and
refine basic skills
2.
To help determine the athlete’s continued involvement
in the sport
3.
To provide playing time to all participants, at the
coaches’ discretion.
The freshman teams will consists
of as many ninth-graders as the rosters will allow. These teams are for freshmen who have
demonstrated intellectual skills, proper attitude, physical skills and
sport-specific skills that indicate a potential to be a varsity player. The number of freshmen players may vary from
season to season
JUNIOR VARSITY TEAMS
Junior Varsity level teams are
formed for the purpose of the following:
1.
To further develop the skills of the athlete
2.
To help the athlete adapt to a more intense level of
competition
3.
To help prepare the athlete for the varsity level
4.
Adapt to an increased emphasis on winning, but not at
the same intensity as at the varsity level
5.
Provide opportunities for playing time as game
conditions merit.
The junior varsity teams are
composed primarily of sophomores, but freshmen who have the ability to start as
J.V. players may also be members of the team.
The J.V. player must demonstrate the requisite intellectual skills,
proper attitude, physical skills, and sport-specific skills that indicate the
potential to be a varsity performer over the next two years. In very rare circumstances, a junior who
shows the potential to be a varsity starter or a key contributor as a senior or
who is a part-time varsity player may play on the J.V. team. Again, the numbers of players on the J.V.
team varies from year to year.
VARSITY TEAMS:
The purpose of the Varsity level
team is as follows:
1.
To develop skills and physical conditioning of the
athlete to his/her full potential
2.
To allow the talented athlete the chance to excel and
possibly prepare for college level competition.
3.
To provide the athlete with a chance to learn to set
goals, strive to achieve them and serve as role models for younger athletes
4.
Understanding that the focus of the varsity program
is to win and have fun. To that end,
notification will be given by the coach during the preseason to those athletes
and their parents who the coach feels will see minimum playing time.
The varsity team shall include but
not be limited to juniors and seniors.
Freshmen and sophomores who have demonstrated the ability to be starters
or key contributors also may be members of the team. Juniors must show the potential to be varsity
players over the next two years to be members of the team. The varsity players must show the mental
skills, proper attitude, physical skills and sport-specific skills to be
starters or essential contributors to the success of the team. As with the freshman and J.V. teams, the
number of athletes on a varsity team may vary from year to year.
Athletic team membership is an
extra-curricular activity for the student.
There may be occasions when the athlete will have a conflict of
responsibilities. It is suggested that
athletes use the prioritized list below when determining their prime
responsibility:
1. Family responsibilities.
2. Academic responsibilities.
3. Athletic responsibilities.
4. Other school
and social responsibilities.
Despite all scheduling
efforts by the administration, conflicts will develop between extra-curricular
activities. If a conflict should arise, it is the athlete’s responsibility to
report the conflict to their coach. The
Athletic Department will do what it can to avoid conflicts.
Quitting is discouraged. A
student-athlete may drop out of a sport only if he/she has personally contacted
the coach. Switching from one sport to
another after the season has begun is discouraged. If an athlete quits one
sport after the season has begun he / she will not be eligible to participate
in another sport without the prior consent of both coaches and the athletic
director. Participation in two sports
during the same season is also discouraged.
However, with the written consent of both coaches and the building
administrator, a student-athlete may compete on two teams during the same
season (for sports teams where squad cuts are involved.)
Parents must understand that
participation in athletics involves, in many cases, strenuous physical activity
and physical contact. The school assumes
the responsibility to provide most equipment, facilities, and supervision. However, it is the PARENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to provide the proper medical coverage to
pay for any emergency or medical treatment required due to an injury. The
school only has catastrophic medical insurance coverage with a $25,000.00
deductible through the M.H.S.A.A.
Coverage is limited to qualifying athletes who are on the eligibility
list and includes limits and additional criteria. * This policy does not cover any
out-of-season activities or camps.
* Additional
information can be obtained from the MHSAA Handbook under the
topic “Catastrophic Insurance”, or by contacting the Athletic Department.
ATHLETE’S CODE OF CONDUCT
Not everyone is fortunate enough
to have the opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics.
Participation in educational athletics carries with it a tremendous amount of
responsibility. It is expected that
student athletes will act in a mature, respectful, and responsible manner at
all times.
1). Athletic Physical - BEFORE a student will be allowed to
participate in any practice, or competition, there must be a physical exam on
file with the athletic director. The
physical exam must detail the student’s medical history and state that the
athlete is approved for competition. The
exam MUST BE SIGNED by either a medical doctor (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathy
(D.O.) or a physician’s assistant (PA) or a nurse practitioner, (M.H.S.A.A.
regulation I, sec. 3) and dated on or after April 15 of the previous school
year. A parent or guardian signature is
also required.
2). Academics – Basic MHSAA
standards require a student to have passed four classes from the previous
semester in order to try out for a sport.
During the present semester, the athlete must be enrolled in 20 credit
hours of academic work to maintain eligibility (MHSAA reg. 1 sec 7 &
8). Eligibility checks are completed
every regular grading period. In
addition, Huron Valley Schools’ standards require an athlete to carry a 2.0
average for his/her overall GPA, and/or for the previous semester, and/or for
the previous card marking, and for the current card marking.
A.
At the high school level, if an athlete is determined
to be ineligible at one of the grade reports, he/she will be ineligible for a
minimum of one (1) week unless a program of improvement (progress report) is
instituted. If the student maintains a
2.0 average at the end of the week, eligibility is restored.
B.
If an athlete fails to pass a minimum of four (4)
classes, for the semester, he/she will be ineligible for the entire next
semester.
3). Attendance - In order to participate
in any Athletic Department PRACTICE OR
CONTEST, the athlete must be in school attendance for four hours
on the day of the practice or contest.
In order to participate in an Athletic Department practice or contest
that takes place on a day when school is not in session, the athlete must be in
attendance for four hours on the day preceding the day school is not in
session.
A.
In extenuating circumstances, the Principal and
Athletic Director, have the authority to prearrange exceptions to the
attendance regulation. Examples include, but are not limited to: court
appearances, death in the family, funeral attendance, and student activities. Late arrival to school or partial attendance
is NOT considered an exception to
this attendance regulation.
B.
Any athlete, who is suspended, (either out of school
or in-school suspension) for violation of the policies and regulations of the
student handbook, WILL BE PROHIBITED FROM PARTICIPATION IN CONTESTS
OR PRACTICES on the day/days that the suspension is served.
C.
Athletes are expected to attend and participate in
all practices** and team meetings, and carry out the directives of coaches.
**Attendance
at practice sessions is necessary to prepare both mentally and physically for
contests. PRIOR arrangements should be
made for any absence. Some contests and
practices are necessary during school vacations. Student athletes need to look at these
requirements prior to making a commitment to the team.
4). Personal Appearance -
Exemplary personal appearance is important and is to be encouraged. Individual coaches may establish a consistent
or uniform dress policy on game days.
5). Travel - Team members and
coaches must travel to and from an away contest in authorized, school
transportation. Any exception to this
regulation will require direct communication between the athlete’s
parents/guardians and the coach. The parent / guardian must write out a request
and submit it to the athletic director at least two days prior to the
contest. No athlete may leave a contest
with anyone other than a parent/guardian or his or her adult designee.
6). Equipment - It is the athlete’s
responsibility to secure all equipment issued and to return all issued
equipment at the conclusion of the season or pay the replacement costs for
items not returned. An athlete may not
receive athletic awards until all obligations are met.
7). Gross Misconduct – A student shall not
engage in acts of gross misconduct including, but not limited to, behavior,
which is addressed in the student handbook such as acts of theft, extortion,
vandalism, assault, sexual misconduct, and gross disrespect. Violations will be
dealt with on an individual basis and penalties will range from administrative
intervention to exclusion from athletic activity/participation.
8). Cumulative or gross misconduct,
including behavior which school officials consider conduct unbecoming an
athlete and a representative of the Huron Valley Schools. A conference will be held with the coach,
athlete, athlete’s parents or guardians, the principal and the athletic
director to determine appropriate penalties.
Depending upon the severity of the incident, penalties will range from
suspension from athletic competition to dismissal from the squad.
9). Violations of federal, state
or local law/ordinance including felony or misdemeanor acts other than
minor traffic offenses. Conviction of
said offenses is NOT necessary to establish a violation of the Athletic Code of
Conduct, which will be determined through an independent school
investigation. A conference will be held
with the coach, athlete, athlete’s parents or guardians, the principal and the
athletic director to determine appropriate penalties. Depending upon the severity of the incident,
penalties will range from restitution, suspension from athletic competition or
dismissal from the squad.
10). Hazing activities of any
type are inconsistent with the educational process and are prohibited at
all times. Hazing is defined as any
willful act done by a student, whether individually or in concert with others,
to another student for the purpose of subjecting such student to humiliation,
physical abuse or threats of abuse, social or other ostracism, shame or
disgrace. Permission, consistent or
assumption of risk by an individual subjected to hazing does not lessen the
prohibition. A conference will be held with
the coach, athlete, athlete’s parents or guardians, the principal and the athletic
director to determine appropriate penalties.
Depending upon the severity of the incident, penalties will range from
restitution, suspension from athletic competition or dismissal from the squad.
11). Violations of the Student
Handbook. Penalties are detailed in
the Student Handbook. Should a fight
occur during an athletic practice or competition, penalties as prescribed in
the Student Handbook my also be enforced in addition to any league or MHSAA
suspensions.
12). Alcohol and Substance Abuse
- During the school year and the season of practice, use, possession,
attempting to possess, concealment, *distribution, sale or being under the
influence of the following substances is prohibited:
a.
tobacco or tobacco products in any form
b.
alcohol or alcoholic beverages in any form
c.
illegal or unauthorized drugs including, but not
limited to, those substances defined as “controlled substances” pursuant to
federal and/or state statute
d.
steroids, human growth hormones, or other
performance-enhancing drugs
e.
substances purported to be illegal, abusive, or
performance-enhancing, i.e., “look-alike” drugs
f.
inhalants
* for the purposes of this section
of the Athletic Code of Conduct, the term “distribution” includes the “hosting”
of a party at which any of the following substances listed in Items a – f are
knowingly available
It shall not be a violation of the
athlete’s code for a student to use or possess a prescription or patent drug
when taken pursuant to a legal prescription issued by a licensed physician or
for which permission to use in the school has been granted pursuant to Board
policy. An athlete shall notify his/her
coach if he or she is taking prescription medicine that could alter the
behavior or affect the ability of the athlete to participate in the activity.
This policy is in effect for
non-school related times during the school year and season of participation:
example, Saturday parties, etc. This
policy will not supersede the High School or Middle School Student Handbook.
A.
First Violation - The athlete shall select either option 1 or option 2
as follows:
1. PENALTY – A student who uses or is in
possession of drugs, tobacco, and/or alcohol will subject the offender to loss
of eligibility for the remainder of the athletic season and an additional
twenty games or twenty weeks loss of privilege to participate in the next
season of participation, whichever is greater.
2. ADMINSTRATIVE ALTERNATIVE - If the
athletic director and student have mutually agreed to the option, the
administration will prescribe a program of rehabilitation, community service,
and loss of privilege to participate in the activity for a portion of the
schedule. The loss of privilege to
participate must be immediate and must be no less than 20% of the duration of
the activity. If less than 20% of the
season remains, the suspension will carry over into the student’s next season
of participation.
Loss of
honors applies in all instances.
B.
Second Violation – The athlete shall select either option 1 or option 2
as follows:
1. PENALTY – A student in possession or
using drugs, tobacco, and/or alcohol will subject the offender to loss of
eligibility for the remainder of the athletic season and forty games or forty
weeks loss of privilege to participate in the student’s next season of
participation, whichever is greater.
2. ADMINISTRATIVE ALTERNATIVE – If the
athletic director and the student have mutually agreed to the option, the
athlete shall lose eligibility for the remainder of the season and the next
full season of participation. The
athlete must become involved in an outside treatment program for chemical dependency. Reinstatement after one season is not
automatic and the director or a counselor of a chemical dependency treatment
center must issue such certification of participation before the athlete will
be reinstated.
C . Third
Violation – athlete relinquishes all and any rights to participation.
Penalties shall be
cumulative beginning with and throughout the students’ participation as an
athlete. The penalties will overlap
seasons and the offense will accumulate through the student athletes’ career.
**THE PROVISIONS FOR SELF-DISCLOSURE CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY ONLY ONCE TO ANY ATHLETE DURING HIS/HER YEARS IN HURON VALLEY HIGH SCHOOLS.
13). Limited Team Membership - Once an
athlete has made the decision to participate as a member of an athletic team
for the Huron Valley Schools, any outside participation or competition in that
sport during that season is prohibited (MHSAA reg. 1 sec 13a). If an athlete anticipates participating in a
different sport outside the High School Athletic Department during a particular
season, the high school coach must be informed of the outside participation at
the beginning of the season.
14). Proper Supervision - Athletes are NOT
TO BE IN THE LOCKER ROOMS, THE GYMNASIUM OR THE ATHLETIC FACILITIES unless
properly supervised by their coach. If a
practice or game is not scheduled immediately after school, the athletes are to
leave the building as soon as possible.
Failure to abide by this regulation will result in disciplinary action.
15). Coaches Regulations - Individual
coaches may institute other regulations for their particular sport.
CORRECTIVE MEASURES
The following items provide the
coach, building administrator and athletic director with corrective measures
not previously specified when dealing with violations. Any of the following corrective actions may
be used depending upon the frequency and severity of the violation.
1. Coach and athlete meeting.
2. Parent conference with coach and building administrator and/or the athletic director
3. Suspension
from competition. The athlete will be
required to participate
in all practices and
attend all contests, but will not be allowed to dress or
participate in the
contests.
4.
Suspension from the team for the remainder of
the season.
5.
Suspension from all athletic department
programs for the remainder of
the semester or
school year.
Any athlete not completing a
season of competition due to academic or disciplinary action will not receive
an award for that sport, from the Athletic Department, its programs, or
coaches.
REVIEW AND APPEALS PROCEDURES INVOLVING
CODE OF CONDUCT VIOLATIONS
Athletes will have the opportunity
for review concerning corrective actions taken by the coach, athletic director,
or principal.
Steps for review:
1.
The athlete must have met with
the coach involved to try to solve the problem.
2.
The athlete may request a review by the athletic
director. This request must be in
writing. This action must take place
within three (3) school days of the action taken by the coach. At this point the athletic director will
arrange a meeting with the coach, the athlete, and the parents. This meeting shall take place within three
(3) school days of the request review.
3.
After step 2, the athlete may request a review by the
principal. A written summary of the
principal’s decision will be forwarded to the athlete and the parents within
three (3) school days of this meeting.
4.
If no resolution is reached, the athletic director
will convene a meeting before the Athletic Appeals Committee. That committee will be composed of the
building principal, an assistant principal, counselor and a coach from a
non-involved sport. The decision
rendered is final. The athletic director
is a non-voting member at this meeting.
GENERAL ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROCEDURE
When
a person (student-athlete or parent) has a question, or concern, or complaint
regarding an athletic situation not involving the Athletic Code, the following
lines of communication have been found to be most effective:
Start
with the source – talk directly with the coach in question in private, face to face,
away from the practice site. A telephone
call may be necessary to arrange an appointment.
1.
If necessary, speak with the head coach of the sport involved
2.
If necessary, speak with the athletic director
3.
If necessary, speak with the principal
All
concerns must be heard at the lowest possible level before intervention by a
higher authority can occur.

that both parenting and coaching are extremely difficult vocations, the list
below presents communication guidelines both for parents and coaches:
Communication parents expect
from their child’s coach
1. Philosophy of the coach
2. Expectations the coach has for their child as well as the team
3. Locations and times of all practices and contests

Statement
of Compliance with Federal Law
The
Huron Valley Schools Board of Education complies with all Federal laws and
regulations prohibiting discrimination and with all requirements and regulations
of the U. S. Department of Education. It
is the policy of the Huron Valley Schools Board of Education that no person on
the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, age, sex,
marital status or handicap shall be discriminated against, excluded from
participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to,
discrimination in any program or activity for which it is responsible or for
which it receives financial assistance from the U. S. Department of Education. Inquiries related to the above policy,
including any questions concerning Title IX of the Education Amendments of
1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, or questions related
to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination
on the basis of handicap, should be directed to:
Dr. Michael Teasdale
Executor Director of Human Resources
Huron Valley Schools
Telephone: (248)

Further,
if any person believes that Huron Valley Schools or any part of the school
organization has violated or misapplied the above policy on nondiscrimination,
he/she may request the grievance procedure for Title VI, Title IX, or Section
504, whichever is applicable, from the Administration Offices, and may file a
complaint thereunder with the Executor Director of
Human Resources, address above.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 years
of age ("eligible students") certain rights with respect to the
student's education records. These
rights are:
1.
The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days
of the day the District receives a request for access. Parents or eligible students should submit to
the school principal [or appropriate school official] a written request that
identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect.
The School official will make arrangements for access and notify the
parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be
inspected.
2.
The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the
parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate or
misleading. Parents or eligible students
may ask Huron Valley Schools to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate
or misleading. They should write the
school principal [or appropriate official], clearly identify the part of the
record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the District decides not to amend the
record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the District will notify
the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right
to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing
procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of
the right to a hearing.
3.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information
contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA
authorizes disclosure without consent.
One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to
school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the
District as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member
(including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a
person serving on the School Board; a person or company with whom the District
has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical
consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official
committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another
school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official
needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional
responsibility. The district also
forwards education records to other agencies or institutions that have
requested the records and in which the student seeks or intends to enroll.
4.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning
alleged failures by the School to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The
name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
