During the Game…
Athletes are not permitted to eat anything during
the games while they are on the bench. They
need to eat prior to leaving the school or after
the game when they go home. This includes
traveling to other schools.
Cell phones are not permitted on the bench
during games.
Their games are their “jobs” and have roles to fill
at both home and away.
Parents…
Please keep in mind these are middle school
girls and middle school games.
Please keep degrading comments about
players, coaches and officials, as well as
inappropriate vocabulary to yourself. Otherwise,
you may be asked to leave the premises.
Do not approach a coach or referee after a
game with concerns. Please wait 24 hrs before
addressing the issue.
Parents…
Sportsmanship – Athletes and Parents
Team bows and headbands – no longer
allowed
Team vs. Individual mentality – We are a
TEAM…keep the DRAMA out of it.
Transportation to and from Games
All athletes are required to ride the
bus to and from the games for
volleyball and basketball.
Students are able to be picked up
after arriving back at Ulrich.
If you are unable to pick up your
child within 20 min. after arrival
back at the school, please make
arrangements for alternate
transportation. Otherwise, playing
time may be affected.
Team Uniform Care
We collect all uniforms from the
athletes upon arrival back to
school from games during
volleyball and basketball.
This eliminates uniforms being
lost, ruined, or forgotten during
those seasons.
Track & Cross Country seasons –
athletes are responsible for the
issued uniform until the end of the
season.
Academics
Grades
Grades are the most important thing!
No Pass-No Play
Study!
Find help! Don’t be afraid to ask.
Go to tutorials during non-practice time
Try to go to tutorials after school so practice
time is not effected.
No Pass – No Play
UIL states:
Any F on a report card will result in an athlete
becoming ineligible.
They will remain ineligible for 3 weeks until the
next progress report.
They will only regain eligibility IF they have
passing grades in ALL their classes.
Behavior
Athletic Contracts
The girls and parents sign behavior
contracts at the beginning of the year.
No Drama!
