Attendance Requirements
Attendance Requirements
18.19.2 Schools may not give special treatment or privileges to individual athletes on a regular basis to enable them to participate in non-school athletic activities, such as reduced practice times, special workouts, late arrivals or early dismissals.
62.2.0 Swimmers must practice their entire practice session with their high school team in order to be eligible to compete for that team.
These rules translate into our only two team attendance rules:
If an athlete does not meet this minimum requirement, she will not be allowed to compete in the following meet. (This rule is in effect during the regular season as well as championship weeks) and will not letter.
Excused absences are still accepted. Please notify coaches of conflicts as soon as possible.
