HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING RULES & EXPECTATIONS
As a representative of DCSD’s athletic programs, I understand and accept that:
- It is my privilege and honor to wear my school colors
- I am a leader in and out of uniform
- My actions are a reflection of myself, my family, my school, and community
- I’m accountable for my performance in the classroom and my conduct in the community.
In exchange for the opportunity to participate in DCSD interscholastic athletics, and in accordance with Policy JJI, I agree to the following:
Scope of Rules
From the day a student first participates in a DCSD high-school sport until that student graduates from high school, these rules remain in effect, throughout the school year, during summer, fall, winter and spring breaks, including weekends, vacations, and holidays, and regardless if the student is on or off DCSD property.
The consequences outlined here are in addition to, not instead of, those the student may receive under the DCSD’s Code of Conduct, the Colorado High School Activities Association By-laws, coaches’ team rules, or other sources. They represent minimum sanctions; the Principal or designee may increase or modify these consequences in particular cases or in general as he or she deems appropriate.
Although some prohibited behaviors listed below refer to DCSD’s Code of Conduct, because these training rules are in effect at times and in places when the Code of Conduct may not be, and because students who participate in athletics are held to higher behavioral expectations than other students, the Principal or designee may determine that a student’s conduct constitutes grounds for imposing an athletic penalty under these rules even when that conduct does not result in suspension or expulsion under the Code of Conduct.
Prohibited Behaviors
- Violating DCSD’s policies regarding drugs & alcohol (JICH) and tobacco use (JICG
- Violating DCSD’s weapons policy (JICI)
- Violating DCSD’s gang-related behaviors and dress policy (JICF)
- Violating any criminal law
- Continued willful disobedience or open and persistent defiance of proper authority
- Willful destruction or defacing of school property
- Behavior detrimental to the student’s, other students’, or school personnel’s welfare, health, or safety
- Any other conduct that would constitute grounds for suspension under DCSD policy JKD/JKE.
Consequences
The following minimum consequences will result whenever the Principal or designee concludes that a student has engaged in any of the prohibited behaviors listed above.
- First offense: For sports with 11 or fewer regular-season contests, the student will be suspended for the next contest; for those with more than 11 regular-season contests, the student will be suspended for the next 2 contests. These suspensions will be imposed whether or not the next contest or contests are regular-season contests or are special events, tournaments, or qualifiers.
- Second offense: The student will be suspended from all sports throughout DCSD for 1 full year from the date of the infraction. · If, however, a student initiates contact with school authorities to voluntarily report his or her involvement in conduct prohibited by these rules, then the student will be eligible for the following lesser second offense penalty: The student will be suspended from the remainder of the season of the sport he or she was participating in at the time of the conduct and, upon proof that the student has successfully completed an intervention class chosen by the school athletic director, the student will only be suspended from the first 50% of the regularly scheduled contests of the next sport that the student participates in for an entire season.
- Third offense: The student will be suspended from all sports throughout DCSD for 1 full year from the date of the infraction, except that if a second offense suspension is still in effect, then the date of the third offense suspension will not begin on the date of the infraction, but rather will begin on the day after the second offense suspension ends.
Tobacco Consequence Only:
- First offense: The student receives a warning and must attend site based tobacco education or community service.
- Second offense: For sports with 11 or fewer regular-season contests, the student will be suspended for the next contest; for those with more than 11 regular-season contests, the student will be suspended for the next 2 contests. These suspensions will be imposed whether or not the next contest or contests are regular-season contests or are special events, tournaments, or qualifiers
- Third offense: The student will be suspended from all sports throughout DCSD for 1 full year from the date of the infraction, except that if a second offense suspension is still in effect, then the date of the third offense suspension will not begin on the date of the infraction, but rather will begin on the day after the second offense suspension ends.
Nothing in these rules prohibits the Principal, designee, or individual coaches from establishing and enforcing additional rules applicable to Athletics, such as lesser or different penalties for failing to exercise good sportsmanship at practices or competitions or for failing to demonstrate good citizenship at school or school-sponsored events.

STUDENT & PARENT/GUARDIAN ADVISEMENT & PERMIT
Colorado High School Activities Association Rules and Regulations state that no pupil shall participate in interscholastic activities until he/she is on file with the appropriate office: (a) a statement signed by his or her parent or legal guardian that he/she has the consent to participate and (b) a statement from a practicing physician certifying that the pupil is physically fit to participate in high school interscholastic activities.
Concussion Evaluation Information
If your child is involved in a contact sport*, he/she may be administered a computerized neurocognitive assessment called ImPACT, to determine how he/she performs in a healthy state. In case of a head injury, DCSD personnel will use this same assessment to assist in determining an athlete's ability to return to play. ImPACT is only one part of a comprehensive process to help your student recover after suffering a head injury. Information may be shared with relevant professionals to support the injured athlete. The Certified Athletic Trainer, School Psychologist and the School Nurse Consultant work together to follow the student to recovery. *The sports that are considered contact sports include but are not limited to football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, cheer leading, lacrosse, soccer and softball.
Medical Clearance and/or Release for Activity
Per Douglas County School District Athletic Training Handbook 4th Edition — August 2011:
“A healthcare provider may release the student athlete from his/her care, but the athletic trainer, as a medical professional representing Douglas County School District, will make the final decision on return to play status.
WARNING: Although participation in supervised interscholastic athletics and activities may be one of the least hazardous in which any student will engage in or out of school, BY ITS NATURE, PARTICIPATION IN INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS INCLUDES A RISK OF INJURY WHICH MAY RANGE IN SEVERITY FROM MINOR TO LONG-TERM CATASTROPHIC. Although serious injuries are not common in supervised school athletic programs, it is impossible to eliminate the risk. Participants can and have the responsibility to help reduce the chance of injury. PLAYERS UNDERSTAND AND, BY THEIR PARTICIPATION, AGREE THAT THEY MUST AND WILL OBEY ALL SAFETY AND TRAINING RULES, FOLLOW DIRECTIVES OF THE COACHES, PROMPTLY REPORT ALL PHYSICAL PROBLEMS TO THEIR COACHES, FOLLOW A PROPER CONDITIONING PROGRAM AND INSPECT THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT DAILY. By signing this Permission Form parents and student acknowledge that they have read and understand this warning. PARENTS OR STUDENTS WHO DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT THE RISKS DESCRIBED IN THIS WARNING SHOULD NOT SIGN THIS PERMISSION FORM.
We understand that coaches, athletic trainers and team physician may use their own judgment in securing medical aid and ambulance service in cause of an emergency or in mild injuries where parents cannot be reached. Also the team physician, trainer and/or coach may apply first aid treatment until the family physician can be contacted.

Colorado High School Activities Association - Continental League Sportmanship Expectations
1. Be supportive of your team no matter the outcome, win or lose.
2. Understand that it’s just a game and players, coaches and officials all make mistakes.
3. Treat the other team and their fans as guests in your own house.
4. BOTTOM LINE: Be Respectful
Developed by Douglas County School District Student Advisory Group 2011-12
SPORTING BEHAVIOR During the 2006-2007 school year, a student group made up of members from the Douglas County Student Advisory Group and student representatives of athletic programs at the seven high schools, met to discuss and work on sporting behavior with the schools in Douglas County. After discussion and feedback, two documents were developed. It is the hope of these students that their peers, as well as their supporters, work to understand and implement their ideals.
Our Pledge for Sporting Behavior*
I understand the responsibilities and privileges of representing my school in competitive activities and, therefore, will maintain the high standards of sporting behavior.
I pledge to uphold the integrity of my team, my school and my community by: - taking responsibility for all of my actions;
- demonstrating respect for everyone;
- being a positive role model;
- accepting the outcome of the event with dignity and class.
*Developed and written by students representing all high schools in the Douglas County School District.

Transportation Awareness Consent and Release
The Douglas County School District (the “District”) provides District transportation for students to and from a great many activities, events, matches and games. However, the District is unable to provide District transportation in all circumstances and to all events. When District transportation is not available, it is the student’s parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to provide or arrange for their student’s transportation to and from the event.
When District transportation is not available and other alternative forms of transportation are utilized, the District cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the safety, training of drivers, condition of vehicles, adequacy for the use or purpose intended or any other matters related to any non-District transportation.
Therefore, we, the undersigned parent/guardian and student, hereby acknowledge, agree and understand that the District does not insure, endorse, approve or sponsor any form of non-District transportation, whether by parents, students or otherwise, to and from District off-campus activities or events. We further acknowledge it is our responsibility to provide or arrange for our/my child’s transportation to District events when District transportation is not available. As such we consent to our child’s use of alternative means of transportation, including private vehicles, and, if applicable, consent to our child’s use of a vehicle to transport himself/herself to off-campus events. We hereby waive, release, discharge and agree to hold harmless and indemnify the District, its agents, employees, insurers and Board of Education, from any claim, cause of action, damage, injury, or demand of any nature, including bodily injury, property damage or death, arising from or sustained during or as a result of my/our child’s utilization of or participation in any non-District transportation, whether furnished by us, our student, parent or otherwise.

Tennis-Cross Country-Gymnastics-Swim/Dive-Golf Teams
Site Management and Consent
The Douglas County School District (the “District”) provides District transportation for students to and from a great many activities, events, matches and games. The nature of these sports, needing off-campus practice and meet sites, limits the district’s capacity to bus on every occasion. In such instances, whether for practices or scheduled meets, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian of the student to arrange the student’s transportation to and from the event. The school district will not assume responsibility for the supervision, safety or adequacy of non-school district furnished transportation.
Be further advised that the school district personnel may not supervise certain golf practices, matches and tennis practices. Participation in the practices or matches rest with the student and their parent/guardian. The school district will not assume responsibility for the student’s conduct or safety in connection with these practices and/or matches.
As a student participant in the Douglas County Schools golf, cross country, gymnastics, swim/dive, and/or tennis programs, I recognize the dangers associated with the issues described and I agree to assume the risk involved while participating.
