Student Driving Guidelines – Athletics
The purpose of the Student Driving Athletics Release form is to make it possible for a student to drive
him/herself to a game or practice when the game/practice site is substantially closer to home than a return
to the school campus would be.
1. Consideration of a student’s request to drive to a game/practice site will be given by the coach
when the Student Driving Athletics Release form, signed by both parents/guardians, is on file in
the Athletic Director’s office.
2. It is the Athletic Director’s decision, in consultation with the head coach, as to whether or not a
student may drive.
3. If permission is granted, the student may drive only him/herself; no other passengers are allowed.
4. It is the intent of the school that, whenever possible, the full team travels together on the bus. The
permission for a student to drive is to be granted on a limited basis only.
5. When a student drives him/herself, he/she must follow the school bus to the practice/game site.
6. A request for a student to drive must be received in a timely manner, preferably no later than the
day before the game or practice for which student driving is requested.
Examples:
a. A varsity basketball player lives 3 blocks from the Sand Point gym, where practices are sometimes
held. The student may drive him/herself only to that site and then proceed home – still driving only
him/herself – after practice.
b. A varsity volleyball player lives 3 blocks from the Forest Ridge School in Bellevue. The player
may drive herself to the game and then proceed home – still driving only herself - afterwards.
Please contact the Athletic Director with any questions.
