PLAYER’S CODE OF CONDUCT
We believe student-athletes in the football program at Banning High School should exemplify the
highest ideas of scholarship, sportsmanship and citizenship. Young men in this program will be expected
to be courteous, respectful and responsible at all times. In addition to the rules governing all Banning
High School students, participants in the football program, will be governed by the following rules.
As a participant in Banning High School Football, I agree to the following code of conduct:
1. ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY
Players must be eligible according to the minimum CIF rules and the eligibility
requirements mandated by the Banning Unified School District. All players will
attend mandatory scheduled study hall. Each player will complete a weekly
progress report and turn it into the coaching staff.
2. ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITY
Players will respond to a coach’s request for improvement in academic courses.
Player’s will seek and follow instructions and recommendations from teachers,
counselors, administration, and district personnel. Failure to do so will be
considered defiance of coach’s authority.
3. CLASS and SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Players must attend a minimum of four classes in a school day to be eligible for a
practice or a game. A missed game or practice will carry additional
consequences, and will count as a missed practice in the players’ allowable
missed practice total.
4. WORKOUT, PRACTICE, TEAM MEETING ATTENDANCE
Players must attend mandatory workouts, meetings, and activities on time.
Players must fill out a leave of absence form with a minimum of a 2 day notice
prior to the day or days they are going to miss. Players will be allotted 8
absences (excused and unexcused) for the entire football season. The football
season is defined as the time span that includes the first day of summer practice,
June 19, 2014 through to the last day of practice. Players must notify Coach
Stockham prior to any missed practices for any reason. Players who do not notify
Coach Stockham prior to missing practice will have consequences upon their
return. Failure to notify Coach Stockham prior to an absence will be regarded as
a “No Show”. Players will have a maximum of two “No Shows”. ”. A player and
Head Coach meeting will follow the first “No Show”. A player, Head Coach, and
Parent meeting will follow the second “No Show”. A
Player will be dismissed from the team following the third “No show” after a
meeting with player, Head Coach, parent, and Athletic Director.
A mandatory meeting or practice includes:
Spring & Summer weightlifting (25 mandatory summer lifting days)
Spring, summer, and fall football practice (April 28- Dec. 15th)
Study Hall
Meetings or team functions/activities
Spring & Summer weightlifting requirement: Each player is required to attend and participate in a
minimum of 25 summer strength and conditioning days. We believe that strength and conditioning are
necessary aspects of fitness that prevent injury and allow our student/ athletes to compete at optimum
levels. Please, refer to the 2014 Bronco Football calendar for a schedule of weight room dates and
times. Each player must have attended the lifting requirement total prior to the beginning of fall
football camp (July 28, 2014) to participate in the 2013 football season.
2014 Spring & Fall Football Season, study hall, team activities, and functions: The 8 allotted missed
practices carry over to the regular season.
Consequences for late or missed fall practices:
Late is defined as 30 minutes or less late to practice: Late to practice will result in one opportunity for
the first offense. Second late practice in a week will result in 2 opportunities and sitting out 1 quarter of
next game. 3rd late practice in a week will result in 4 opportunities and sitting out 1st half of next game.
30 minutes or more late to a practice will be counted as a missed practice.
1 Excused absence in a week: 1 opportunity with position coach.
1 Unexcused absence in a week: 2 opportunities with position coach, and must sit out 1st quarter of
next game.
