Athlete Expectations
It is a privilege to play for Brookville Schools, and it must be treated as such.
Wearing “BROOKVILLE” on the front of a jersey means you accept the
responsibility for your actions not only on the field or court, but also in the
classroom and in the community.

As an BLUE DEVIL, you are a role model, for younger children looking up to you
for inspiration in their sport, or by anyone in the community who needs to see
that good values exist here and that a healthy balance between athletics and
academics can be achieved by those that put forth the effort.

You must accept that you have placed yourself, by your own accord, in the public
arena. This can be difficult to handle, but I challenge you to live up to the
expectations!

AND Now the Fun Begins!
Welcome to some of the greatest years of your child’s life...We have so much to
offer them in Brookville Schools both Academically and Athletically…

Choosing to participate in school based athletics in grades 7-12 truly is an
experience of a lifetime!

Playing rival schools, (and beating them) hearing your name on the morning
announcements, being a part of something bigger than yourself, and
representing your community are just a couple of the many things to look forward
to here in Brookville!

Athletic Code of Conduct
                       Points of Emphasis (2)
                         Academic Eligibility Continued…..
Weekly Eligibility - Weekly eligibility standards will be maintained. Weekly eligibility is based on the
cumulative grade to the beginning of the term. A student receiving more than one “F” on the weekly
eligibility report will be ruled ineligible for the following week(s). This is applicable to all courses that offer
academic credit. Eligibility will be checked electronically through Progress Book at 8:00 a.m. every
Friday to determine student eligibility for the following week. Students not meeting the weekly
standards will be ruled ineligible for the following Monday through Sunday. Eligibility will be restored to
students on the Monday following a week of ineligibility providing academic requirements have been
met.

Athletic Code of Conduct
                     Points of Emphasis (3)
                                        Attendance

As a general rule, any athlete who does not attend a full school day will not participate in a
practice/game that day unless prior approval is granted by a school administrator. Exceptions will be
granted for students who sign in late as long as they are in attendance by 9:30 a.m. Repeated
exceptions may not be granted to students who sign out ill, regardless of how many periods they attend.
Students who sign out for an appointment must receive approval from a school administrator before
participation in a practice/game that day. Any exceptions to this policy regardless of the circumstances
will be the decision of the school administration.

Athletic Code of Conduct
                    Points of Emphasis (4)
                         Commitment to HS or JH Team
Athletes are expected to be at practices and contests unless they have a valid reason for missing.
Vacations are not encouraged during a sport’s season. The Head Coach’s rules will prevail in the event
of such missed practices or contests. Athletic Department philosophy when it comes to commitment:
      ○   All players are expected to attend all practices (unless ill)
      ○   You are a member of a team and others are counting on you
      ○   Communication is vital -- no call no show is not acceptable
      ○   Missing practice (excused or unexcused) will directly affect your playing time

Athletic Code of Conduct
                      Points of Emphasis (5)
                                         Transportation
Students participating in interscholastic athletic activities associated with the team are required to ride
district transportation to and from events. If a student must ride from a contest with parents because of
family commitments, the student must have a Trip Release Form signed by the parent with written
confirmation by the student activities director/administrator. This form must be presented to the coach
prior to leaving for the contest.

                                  2020-2021 Athletic Trip Release Form

Athletic Code of Conduct
                    Points of Emphasis (6)
                                   Registering a Concern

Communication with a coach is important. There may be situations that require a conference between
 a coach and parent. The following chain of communication is the procedure that must be followed.

         Step 1 – Athlete speaks directly to their coach (Athlete’s should always be the first point of contact
         with a coach if he or she has a question about the program.)
         Step 2 – Should further communication be needed…. a parent should call the coach to set up
         an appointment.
         Step 3 – Again, should further communication be needed…a parent should call the Student
         Activities Director to set up an appointment.

   **An athlete or parent should NEVER contact a coach about issues before, during,
                                or after a contest/event.

Athletic Code of Conduct
                    Points of Emphasis (7)
                     Registering a Concern Continued…
Apppropriate Concerns to Discuss with Coaches:
         - The treatment of your child, mentally / physically
         - Ways to help your child improve
         - Concerns about your child’s behavior
         - College options / recruiting

Issues NOT appropriate to Discuss With Coaches:
         - Team Strategy
         - Play Calling
         - Other Student Athletes

Brookville Local Schools are a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association and will abide by
all rules and regulations established by the OHSAA. Please review the PowerPoint presentation
provided by the OHSAA at ohsaa.org under “School Resources”.

OHSAA Presentation Points of Emphasis:
       - Seventh- and eighth-grade students who turn 15 before August 1st are also ineligible for 7th
       and 8th grade sports but MAY BE eligible to participate in high school athletics.
       - You will be ineligible if you are a member of a school team competing on a non-school team
       in the same sport during your school team’s season (example: club soccer team during
       school’s soccer season).
       - Should you have transferred to Brookville, you must ensure all applicable paperwork has
       been submitted to the OHSAA AND the state office has granted approval for eligibility.

Sportmanship – Fan Behavior
Everyone associated with an athletic event – coaches, athletes, officials, spirit leaders, parents,
spectators and school administrators – plays and important role in seeing that standards of
sportsmanship are upheld before, during and after a contest is played. Each person in attendance
should strive to meet the ideals of sportsmanship and represent “Brookville” in a positive way.

          -Show respect for the official. The officials should be recognized as impartial arbitrators who are trained to
          do their jobs and who can be expected to do it to the best of their ability. Sportsmanship implies the
          willingness to accept and abide by the decisions of the officials.

          -Know, understand, and appreciate the rules of the contest. A familiarity with the current rules of the
          game and recognition of their necessity for a fair contest is essential.

          -Maintain self-control at all times. Sportsmanship requires one to understand his/her own bias or prejudice
          and the ability to prevent the desire to win from overcoming rational behavior. A proper perspective must
          be maintained if the potential educational values of athletic competition are to be realized. Sportsmanship is
          concerned with the behavior of all involved in the game.
