AMCMS BOYS ATHLETIC POLICIES

The AMCMS Boys athletic department offers six athletic teams throughout the year: Football, Cross-Country, Basketball, Track, Tennis and Golf. Each student must have reliable transportation home after practices and games.

​

Code of Conduct

Each member of our program is expected to give her best effort in the classroom as well as on the playing field. Athletes must adhere to the rules set forth in the AMCMS student handbook. All athletes are expected to act in a respectful manner and demonstrate good sportsmanship at all times. They are to treat all administrators, teachers, coaches, custodial staff and guests of our campus with respect. Intimidation of other students or athletes will not be tolerated in any setting. The coaching staff has the right to recommend removal of an athlete from athletics if they violate the code of conduct or Bobcat Policies.

​

Physicals

To participate in any of these activities (including off-season, tryouts and practice) the athlete must have a physical on the UIL approved form. NO EXCEPTIONS! Without a physical, your child cannot do any form of activity, practice or competitions. New physicals must be taken every year. It is strongly recommended that a copy be made of the physical and kept for your records. Most summer programs and “club” teams require a physical. Having a copy of your child’s physical may save you valuable time in the future. If your child has any past medical conditions, please contact us ASAP and let us know. Also, please keep us informed of pertinent issues concerning your child’s health. The more information we have, the better we will be able to treat your child if a situation arises. Also, all consent to treat/UIL forms must be completed online at www.planeths.com.  

​

​

Eligibility

To participate in any athletic activity the athlete must be passing all classes at the end of each grading period with a grade of 70 or above. If a student is ineligible at the end of the grading period, she is expected to participate in practices, but NOT in games. (This is a UIL law). A student may “regain” eligibility after three weeks if she is passing ALL of her classes with a grade of 70 or above.

​

​

Academic Progress

If a student is not being successful in the classroom and has failed two 6-week grading periods in the Fall semester, the athlete may be removed from athletics. In addition, for 7th graders, if a student athlete fails two 6-weeks grading periods in the spring semester, he will not be enrolled for athletics the following fall semester.

 

 

Travel

When traveling to other schools, athletes are expected to act in accordance with the Code of Conduct. Any activity or conduct that may cast a negative light on the athletic program, AMCMS, or CSISD will not be tolerated. This type of conduct will result in a parent phone call to have the athlete removed from the site immediately and suspension from future off campus activities.

Athletes ride to the game on the bus and we encourage athletes to travel home with the team as well. However, we understand that situations may arise in which an athlete must ride home with her family. In this case, you will need to see your son’s coach to sign him out before leaving. We will NOT allow an athlete to ride home with anyone but his parents unless prior arrangements have been made via email has been made with the coach.

​

​

Transportation

Each athlete is responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from practices. All athletes should be picked up in Parent pick up on the Anderson Street side of the school. Practice schedules will be handed out and followed as closely as possible. Out of respect for your time, we will end practice on time each day. In return, please respect the Coaches’ time by picking up your son in a timely manner. This pertains to practices and games. Athletes that are continually left late after 3 or more games or practice may be dismissed from the team.

​

​

Equipment

Each athlete will be issued 1 pair of shorts, 1 t-shirt, and a locker. Additional items may be issued for each sport. The athlete is responsible for the equipment they are issued. All sport specific equipment is due at the end of that sports season to move onto the next sport and they must return the shorts and shirts issued equipment at the end of the year in good condition or pay the replacement cost to the athletic program. Items not issued include: towels, socks and tennis shoes. Athletes will need to keep a pair of tennis shoes and cleats in their locker for the athletic period.

​

​

Lockers

Each athlete will be issued a locker. Lockers should be kept locked with ALL valuable items secured inside. The athletic department will not be responsible for any valuables that may get stolen or lost. Athletes must pay close attention to their belongings to deter items from being stolen. Please write down the combination in a safe place, as it is the athlete’s responsibility to remember it. Athletes do not share their combination with others and do not share lockers with others.

​

 

 

Dressing Out

Each athlete is REQUIRED to dress out in the issued uniform each day. In the event there is an injury, the athlete will still dress out, but not participate. No loose items such as jewelry, watches, hats or earrings shall be worn during athletics. This is to lessen the risk of injury to yourself and others. Consequences will be signing the infraction sheet, loss of points for the Daily grade, a 30 minute detention, a 60 minute detention then referrals for each thereafter.

​

​

Tutorials

Athletes should attend tutorials in the morning or after school. Tutorials are considered excused as long as the athlete has a written note stating the date and times from the teacher with whom the tutorial took place. Athletes can see any teacher that is not their scheduled teacher for tutorials.

​

​

ISS/OSS

There will be consequences if an athlete is assigned to In School Suspension (ISS) or (OSS). If an athlete is assigned to ISS/OSS a total of seven days, then school administration and the coaching staff will decide on the return of the athlete to athletics. If a student is not performing up to the standards set by our athletic policy at any time, then the school administrators and coaching staff can have the student removed from the athletic period.

​

​

Grading

Grading will be based on participation and dressing out daily. A semester exam will be given in December and in May. A “0” will be given each day they sign the infraction sheet as a daily grade, on Fridays the cumulative average for the week will be inputted as an Academic Achievement Grade.

​

​

Communication

Communication is crucial between athlete and coach. If an athlete is either sick or can’t be here, please email your coach personally and let them know. This helps the coach understand what is going on as well as preparing for practice and or games. All information regarding Boys Athletics is updated on the AMCMS Boys Athletics SCHOOLOGY Group website.
