SCHOOL ATHLETIC POLICY

iNTERSCHOLASTIC STATEMENT
Interscholastic athletics are a vital part of the total program of a school. Therefore, the behavior of the athlete, on and off the school field, is essential throughout the school year and during all school vacation dates. CUSD300 officials and coaches of athletic teams believe that those students who are selected for the privilege of membership on teams, squads, and other school organizations should conduct themselves as responsible representatives of their schools. In order to assure this conduct, guidelines are enforced in and out of season for student behavior and rules for participation. Furthermore, members of teams and organizations who fail to abide by the rules for participation, throughout the school year and during all school vacation dates, are subject to disciplinary actions. Likewise, all adult spectators especially parents are expected at all times to use language and behaviors that match the respectful and positive language and behaviors expected of student athletes during a healthy competition. Athletes may be required by the IHSA to submit to a drug test. All participants must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian giving permission to drug test their child.

IHSA ELIGIBILITY
1. Scholastics -There are minimum IHSA requirements regarding scholastic performance by athletes. CUSD300 requires a student be passing three (3) full block classes in the block schedule for each term. A g e - A student shall be eligible through age nineteen (19) unless the student shall become twenty (20)'during the sport season, in which event eligibility shall terminate on the first day of such season (as the season is defined in Section 5.00 of IHSA eligibility by-laws.)

RULES FOR ATHLETICS

A student athlete in CUSD300 shall observe certain established rule requirements. These rule requirements will be known as the Athletic Policy and will serve as an extension to the Board of Education Policy for School CUSD300. 1. The athlete must do his/her best at all times to keep in the best physical condition. To do so requires that an athlete maintain strict adherence to a routine, including good hours and proper diet, and refrain from using tobacco, drinking alcoholic beverages, and illegal drugs. An athlete who is found possessing or using alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, or drugs and look-alikes (unless properly used and prescribed by a physician), shall be suspended from participation in all athletics and/or from school as set forth in the School District's Student Conduct and Discipline Policy. The coaches of each sport may determine the further requirements for their sport. The athletic-director shall finalize all rules and regulations. Students who become involved with police authorities and/or receive court probation or parole shall be reviewed for determination of further eligibility and participation by the coach and athletic director. Athletes who violate school disciplinary rules and procedures must realize that they may jeopardize their status as regular squad members. Further participation shall be determined after careful review of the particular situation by the necessary school authorities, including the building principal, the athletic director, and the head coach. In the event of a request for a meeting, all concerned parties (parents, athletes, coaches and administration) should be present.
