CHAPIN GIRL’S OFF-SEASON SOFTBALL CODE OF CONDUCT
The following policy describes the standards for the Chapin Softball program:
I. PLAYER COMMITMENT TO THE TEAM
All players in the off-season class must realize their commitment to the TEAM, and the work that must be done in order for the TEAM to be successful this year. This commitment is kept by following the Chapin Softball team policy, giving MAXIMUM effort at all practices and SUPPORTING their teammates. This will also include participating in any fundraisers undertaken by the Chapin softball program.
II. PRACTICE
All players are expected to attend EVERY practice to its conclusion. Absences will be excused at the discretion of the coach, but you will be expected to make up the missed practice time with various responsibilities (push-ups, sprints, field drags, etc. etc.). Unexcused absences will result in disciplinary action. Practices will always begin on time. Penalty for tardiness will be assessed at the discretion of the coach.
III. COMMUNICATION
Players are expected to support (verbal as well as nonverbal) every member of the softball program. If a player is in a disagreement with a teammate or coach it is her responsibility to communicate with her/him and work to resolve the issue at an appropriate time. Disagreements are not to interfere with maximum effort!! Softball is a team game and gossip and cliques will not be tolerated.
IV. ELIGIBILITY
Players must be enrolled as a full time students and meet the age, grade, and resident requirements set forth by the UIL. All athletes must have a completed physical examination form, parent consent and be covered by insurance before she is eligible to practice. Coaches will check progress reports and consequences will be given for all grades below 75 (2 bridges [or other punishment] for each grade that is below standard). If you do not show the coach your progress report, it will be assumed that all the grades were below standard.
V. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
The sale, distribution, transportation, use of, or possession of alcohol or any type of medication considered to be illegal or for which there is no valid prescription, by any student participating in extracurricular activities sponsored by the E.P.I.S.D. will result in an immediate removal from the class. It is also expected that all young ladies involved with the Chapin Softball program refrain from any of these unbecoming behaviors when not specifically on school sponsored activities.
VI. DRESS CODE
All players are expected to abide by the dress code of Chapin High School during school hours. During softball class and practice, players are to wear appropriate athletic attire. Practice uniforms are to be either NAVY BLUE, COLUMBIA BLUE, WHITE, BLACK, OR GRAY.
VII. THIEVERY AND VANDALISM
Any act of thievery or vandalism by any athlete will result in suspension from softball for the remainder of the off-season.

IX. EXPECTED GENERAL CONDUCT
Student athletes are under the same rules of enforcement as set forth in the E.P.I.S.D. Student Code of Conduct and Chapin High School. Consequences for violation of said rules will result in running of bridges, suspension, or removal from the class.
X. GRADING POLICY
Student grades will be calculated using the following percentages:
Daily Practice participation 85% This will include suiting out and going through ALL drills. ALL missed practices and/or drills MUST be made up. If you don’t suit out and practice, you will receive a zero for the day. If you only suit out (and don’t practice), you will receive a 50 for the day – until missed work is made up.
Notebook 15% Students will meet in softball classroom, take down the daily quote or question and then write down what it means to them or do the assigned question of the day.
I have read and understood the Chapin Softball Code of Conduct and agree to abide by these expectations to improve myself and the Chapin softball program.
