Trips and Meets

1. Athletes are reminded that they represent themselves, our school, and our town. How they behave shapes the impressions of people around the pennisula. Problems with bus behavior or during trips will result in disciplinary action which may include suspension or expulsion from the team.

2. For our trips, we will leave on time. We will travel together going to the meet. The bus will bring us back from out-of-town meets. Phones will be available for students to call for rides at school.

3. Parents may take their own children home from meets as long as they notify the coaches before leaving.

4. Athletes are required to stay for the entire meet. If athletes need to leave early, it may only be for excused absences. It should be pre-arranged with the head coach with a written note signed by the parent. Athletes leaving a meet early simply for convenience may forfeit all varsity points earned for that meet.

Parents may not take someone other than their own children home from meets.

Please note, it may be in the athlete's best interest to allow them to ride home with the team even if you were at the meet. Sometimes, an athlete is not satisfied with his or her performance. Riding home on the bus would allow an athlete to decompress and debrief their performance with teammates. It oftentimes takes a teammate's reassurance to put things in perspective. Time on the bus does contribute to team-building.
