STUDENT-ATHLETE CONDUCT

Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School, its philosophy, administration, faculty and staff supports the belief that the student-athlete is a person who has a very strong influence both in the community and student body. Being often observed, a student-athlete has the responsibility for showing good wholesome leadership and exemplary behavior to those with whom s/he comes in contact.

Student-athletes are expected to behave accordingly in all situations in which they represent NDCL. This includes travel to and from contests, at restaurants or hotels. Any misbehavior may result in suspension from the team

IN-HOUSE EVALUATION

In accordance with the rules and regulations of the OHSAA, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School conducts an in-house academic and behavioral eligibility program as follows:

(a) Prior to the beginning of each sports season (Fall, Winter, Spring), the Athletic Directors distribute to all administrations and teachers a roster of each team. Varsity, JV, and Freshmen levels are included as well as cheerleaders and team managers.

(b) Three times during each quarter (two Academic Progress Review dates and quarter report card), the Guidance Department will report to the Athletic Directors the names of any student athletes who have received two (2) or more D’s or F’s.

(c) Two or more D ‘s and/or F’s will render a student athlete ineligible to participate in games when the academic review is received by the Athletic Department.

(d) Athletes who are declared ineligible can be reevaluated the week following the date of t the report. At that time, if a stuident athlete has improved to 75% or better, his/her eligibility will be immediately reinstated.

(e) The reevaluation in the form of a written document from the relevent teacher(s) will be the responsibility of the student athlete.

(f) Student athletes who are ruled academically ineligible may practice, with the approval of the coach, but may not dress for games, matches, or meets. It is at the discretion of the coach whether or not the non-uniformed student athlete will be on the bench during the game.

The above policy refers to academic eligibility. If a teacher experiences problems with a student athlete’s behavior, the teacher is encouraged to speak with the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students willmeet with the student athlete involved and determine resolution and appropriate consequences. If necessary, the Athletic Directors, parents, coach, and/or Dean of Students will meet to discuss student athletic issues.
