Welcome to the Santa Monica High School Soccer Program 2011-2012

1. Player Eligibility:

- Must complete Athletic Department Packet and pay athletic fee to be cleared to play.
Please have packets turned in by Friday, October 14, 2011.

- Must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 GPA

2. Grades:

- You are a student first. Keep your grades above a 2.0

- It is the students and parents responsibility to check Illuminate.

- Anyone below the requirement will not play or practice, will be assigned study hall, and may
be dropped from the class.

3. Grade for Soccer:

- Every six (6) weeks players will be given a grade based on:

Participation - - On time, dressed, and actively involved in drill or scrimmage

Coachability - Listens and follows instruction from coaches and captains

Sportsmanship - Respectful to teammates, coaching staff, opposing team, and officials

4. Communication:

- Missing practices or games without a valid reason is unacceptable

- Players (not their parent) are responsible for communication with their coach. If the player is
going to be absent please email, call or meet with the coach prior to missing the practice or game.
Coaches will not be able to speak to individual players or their parents during practices or games.

- Absence will affect a player's grade and playing time unless it is excused by the coach.

- Since players often miss 5th period class for away games, it is important for the player to communicate with the teacher ahead of time that class will be missed and get any necessary assignments.

5. Transportation:

- All players and parents are expected to abide by the District adopted transpotation policy
to and from all games and soccer related events (practices and tournaments)

- If no transportation is provided, players and parents must sign the Extracurricular Athletic Practice Form to participate in off-campus soccer events
