WISE Academy Athletics
Athlete Commitment and Expectations Contract
By joining a WISE Academy athletic team, you are making a commitment to your teammates and to your school. Participation in this program requires dedication, responsibility, and respect both on and off the field. Please review the expectations carefully.
Attendance and Participation
Attendance at all practices and games is required.
An unexcused absence from a practice or game will result in being benched for part or all of the next game.
Classroom attendance is mandatory to participate in practices or games. Students who are absent from class may not participate that day unless the absence is prearranged and excused.
Injured athletes are expected to attend all practices and games to remain engaged with the team.
If less than 50% of the team attends three or more practices/games, the season may be canceled and refunds will not be issued.
Academic and Behavioral Eligibility
Students must be passing at least 66% of their classes to participate in games (e.g., 7 classes = passing 5; 6 classes = passing 4).
The Athletic Director (A.D.) will make all final decisions regarding academic or behavioral eligibility.
If an athlete quits a team without prior approval from the A.D., they will not be permitted to participate in any sports the following school year.
