23. GO TO TRAINERS WHEN INJURED

24. Handbook Information • The handbook is now online for you to view • Here are a couple of items of importance:

25. Philosophy • We believe that student participation in any part of our activities is a privilege which carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the activity, to the student body, to the community and to the student himself/herself. This participation privilegerepresents a year roundcommitment and will help to develop the student physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.

26. Basic Policies • A student who has gone out for a sport but quits of his own accord, will not be eligible to start practicing for another sport before the end of the competition in the sport that was dropped: unless the head coach (of the sport that was dropped) signs a release card and the head coach of the new sport involved accepts the athlete. EVERY ATHLETE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS POLICY. Any activity performance group member who quits cheer, dance, or flags before the season is completed could be ineligible for tryouts for another activity group for a period up to 365 days.

27. Basic Policies • Students must be in attendance a minimum of the last four class periods of the day to participate in any activity scheduled for the day. Exceptions are granted with administrative approval only. If students come to school and leave during the day for health reasons, they may not return or participate that day in activities without administrative approval. Each individual coach/sponsor has the authority to set more restrictive attendance requirements.

28. Hazing • Hazing is defined as, including, but not necessarily limited to, any action or situation created, whether on or off school premises, which might reasonably be expected to result in mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule. This definition includes the following activities: • Paddling, Creation of excessive fatigue, Physical and psychological shocks, Quests, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips, or related activities, Requiring or encouraging the wearing of apparel in public that is conspicuous and normally not considered in good taste, Disciplinary consequences will occur to anyone or any team found to be guilty of hazing. According to Missouri state statutes “consent” to hazing is not a defense.

29. Chemical Abuse • Regardless of quantity, a student shall not use or possess tobacco; have in possession or use a beverage containing alcohol; use or consume, have in possession, buy, sell or give away illegal drugs or chemicals, or any substance defined by law as a drug specifically prescribed for the student’s own use by his/her doctor; or use or be in possession of drug paraphernalia.

30. Chemical Abuse Consequences • First Violation Penalty: Following confirmation of the violation, the student would lose eligibility to participate in the next match/contest(s) that occur in a consecutive chronological sequence. The student/athlete shall be ineligible for interscholastic competition and may not participate for a minimum of 40% of his/her competitive season. • Second Violation Penalty: The student shall be ineligible for 365 days, beginning with the date of the violation.

31. Eligibility • Nonschool competition- You may not participate with a nonschool team or in any organized nonschool athletic competition and your school team in the same season! • You may participate in different sports in the same season after filling out a flier in the activities office.

32. Eligibility • You may participate in a college tryout after your season is over • You may participate in an all-star game after your eligibility is complete in each high school sport. • See the AD before you sign up or agree to anything to make sure you do not lose any eligibility!

33. PLAYING LEVELS • VARSITY – PERFORMANCE ORIENTED • JUNIOR VARSITY- DEVELOPMENTAL 3. C TEAM - PARTICIPATION

34. CRITERIA FOR PLAYER SELECTION AND PLAYING TIME • 1. SOCCER ABILITIES – • TECHNIQUE – 1ST TOUCH, PASSING, SHOOTING, DRIBBLING, HEADING, RUNNING W/BALL, DEFENDING. • TACTICS- MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS

35. 2. ATHLETISM- SPEED, STRENGTH, STAMINA, QUICKNESS. ALL WITHIN THE SOCCER ENVIRONMENT. IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE BALL.

36. 3. ABILITY TO PLAY WITHIN THE ROLE REQUESTED

37. 4. ATTITUDE- WILLINGNESS TO DO THE RIGHT THING, POSITIVE IMPACT WITHIN THE TEAM, ACCEPTING COACHING.

38. 5. FACTORS THAT DO NOT ULTIMATELY DETERMINE ROLE WITHIN THE TEAM: A) CLUB BACKGROUND B) YEAR IN SCHOOL C) ROLE ON THE TEAM LAST YEAR D) HONORS OUTSIDE OF HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER DECISIONS ARE MADE BASED ON WHAT WE SEE IN PRACTICES AND IN GAMES. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT THE PARENTS ARE NOTICING OR FOCUSING ON!!!

39. GENERAL APPROACH AT THE VARSITY LEVEL • 1. WE TRY TO MAINTAIN A GOOD TEAM SHAPE REGARDLESS OF THE FORMATION WE PLAY ( 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 4-3-3) • 2. WE TRY TO BE READY TO DEFEND WHEN WE LOSE THE BALL. • 3. WE TRY TO BE READY TO ATTACK WHEN WE WIN THE BALL. • 4. WE WILL PLAY A ZONE DEFENSE • 5. WE PLACE A HIGH VALUE ON POSSESSION OF THE BALL.

40. NEWPAPERS • ALTHOUGH STATEMENTS FROM OUR COACHES AND PLAYERS COME OUT IN THE NEWSPAPERS WE CANNOT CONTROL WHAT IS PRINTED. • WE TRY TO PROMOTE OUR TEAM AND GIVE A REALISTIC VIEW OF HOW THINGS ARE.

41. PLAYER PICK UP • PLEASE PICK PLAYERS UP AT THE PRESCRIBED TIME. COACHES HAVE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES AND PLACES TO BE.

42. WE LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT SEASON!
