athletics agreement

  
This agreement is to ensure that students, parents and/or guardians have a complete understanding of the expectations involved when a student becomes a member of the AISR Athletic Program. Please read the agreement carefully, sign and return it to the Athletics Director, Rob Zeilstra.

The Athletic Department requires that once each year students and parents sign an Athletic Agreement, when a student joins their first sport season at AISR.  This agreement sets a code of standards and describes the most important requirements for participation concerning attendance, behavior, commitment and specific consequences.  This agreement reinforces the seriousness of these standards.
Coaches will have students read and sign the agreement during try-outs. It will be returned to the athletic office after parents sign it as well.
Although designed specifically for our middle school students, the GROUP concept below explains to our students what is expected from them when they choose to become one of our team members. It is also a guideline for our high school students. The Athletic Agreement outlines the most important concepts.

GROUP is an acronym for the concepts we hope our students show.

A GROUP of people that work together well will become a team, and a successful team will show the following:
  • Give Enthusiasm- Cheer our teams on! Give teammates support during practice and competition!
  • Respect Others- Listens to others in a courteous way; make appropriate comments; be polite to adults and other students. Thank the teams you play by shaking their hand. Thank coaches and referees when appropriate.
  • On Task- Be responsible by doing what you are expected to do and follow coaches' instructions. Take care of your uniform and turn forms in on time.
  • Use Common Sense- Represents your school on sport’s trips: a team is like a family and you represent the AISR "Shark" family. Behave appropriately when visiting other schools and when being ‘housed.’ Smoking, using drugs or drinking of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.
  • Participate Well- do as well as you can, at practice and during competition. If you can't make practice, bring a note from home and talk to your coach. Stay with the team- Ask permission from your coach if you wish to leave your team during practice or games. Come to practice even if you can't play because of an injury.
