Athletic Fees
Eligibility
Academic Eligibility:
1) Student-athletes are expected and required to maintain passing grades for all of their classes. Student-athletes should complete and submit all assignments on time. They should also check their grades through PowerSchool on a frequent basis.
2) If student-athletes have any questions about their grades or how to improve them, they should speak to that teacher directly. The preferred times to speak to a teacher are during lunch, before school, or after school. There may be occasional instances when it is appropriate to address these concerns before class, during class, or after class. Student-athletes may also email teachers with their questions.
3) Student-athlete grade reports will be run weekly. Any student that has more than one F following grade verification will be ineligible for competition the following week.
4) Once a student is deemed ineligible they may only regain eligibility after the first competition of the week.
5) Repeated ineligibility will have a negative impact on the team and may result in the removal of that student-athlete from the team.
Attendance Eligibility:
1) Student-athletes are expected and required to attend school whenever it is possible for that student to attend. Whenever a student-athlete will be absent, they should email their coach.
2) Student-athletes that are absent from school more than half the day on a competition day may not participate.
3) Repeated absences will create a lack of preparation and negative impact on the team and may result in the coach or building administration removing that student-athlete from the team.
Behavior Eligibility:
1) Student-athletes are also expected and required to behave appropriately. These expectations extend to both District 11 and non-District 11 properties, both during school hours and outside of school hours.
2) Student-athletes that are suspended on a given day may not participate in practice or competition while serving a suspension.
3) Repeated or severe behavior issues may result in the coach or building administration removing that student-athlete from the team.
Expectations
Student-Athlete Expectations
Student-athletes are expected to represent themselves and the school in a positive manner at all times. Students must meet certain academic, behavior, and attendance expectations in order to compete and remain on the team. Please view the "Eligibility" tab on our athletics page to understand our specific expectations.
Spectator Expectations
Spectators are expected to be both respectful and positive towards athletes, officials, game workers, and other spectators. Spectators that do not meet these expectations will need to leave, and will be excluded from all future District 11 athletic events. PLEASE KNOW THAT NO SPECTATORS ARE ALLOWED AT PRACTICE.
Equipment & Uniforms
Mann Middle School receives a very limited athletic budget, so it is important that we take care of all school-issued equipment and uniforms. Students that do not return equipment and uniforms in good condition will be charged the full replacement cost.
Playing Time
District 11 Middle School Athletics supports "competition and inclusion", meaning that all student-athletes (who are eligible) will receive playing time, but that the playing time will not be equal. There are also certain playing time rules for each sport that coaches must follow. If you have questions or concerns about playing time, please speak to the coach 24 hours after the conclusion of the contest.
Transportation
Transportation by the district will be a limited luxury. Parents will be expected to provide their own transportation for their student-athletes.
Volunteering
Our coaches may allow volunteer coach(s) If you are interested in becoming a volunteer coach, you must get authorization from the coach and building AD prior to being at practice.
