  16. Penalty • First violation: Loss of eligibility for the next two consecutive interscholastic contests or two weeks of a season in which the student is a participant, whichever is greater. No exception is permitted for a student who participates in a treatment program.

  17. Second violation: Loss of eligibility for the next 6 consecutive interscholastic contests or three weeks whichever is greater. • Third violation: Loss of eligibility for the next 12 contests or 4 weeks whichever is greater.

  18. Accumulation of penalties: Penalties shall be accumulative beginning with the student’s first participation in a League activity and continuing through the student’s high school career. • Denial Disqualification: A student shall be disqualified from all interscholastic athletics for 9 additional weeks beyond the student’s original period of ineligibility when the student denies violation of the rule, is allowed to participate and then is subsequently found guilty of the violation.

  19. SAFE? 82% of athletes’ parents surveyed believed their son or daughter does not drink… 52% of those underage students admitted to drinking… WAKE UP MOM AND DAD

  20. What Can Parents Do? • Make sure that you have RECENTLY discussed alcohol/chemical use with your athlete • Tell your athlete that you do not approve of he/she using alcohol/chemicals • Model responsible use behavior or don’t use around your athlete • Don’t host a party where alcohol is served and where athletes are present

  21. What does it mean when you sign the forms? • You are pledging to be chemically free YEAR ROUND. • You are making a commitment to your team and school to be chemically free YEAR ROUND. • You are making a commitment to your parent(s)/guardian to be chemically free YEAR ROUND.
