ATHLETICS/ACTIVITIES

HANDBOOK

Introduction & Welcome Welcome to the Belton School District Athletic/Activity program. Hopefully your decision to take

advantage of this portion of our co-curricular program will be educational, rewarding, and chal-

lenging. This handbook is given to you to provide you with a resource that will allow you to be

aware of all programs that are available and the policies and procedures that apply to all of them.

The athletic department encourages you to take advantage of as many programs as your time and

talent will permit. Research shows that involvement in extra and co-curricular activities shows a

significant positive correlation to academic success and social adjustment. It is our sincere desire

that each and every student in the Belton School District be involved in at least one extra or co-

curricular activity.

Athletic/Activity Program Philosophy We believe that interscholastic athletics/activities shall supplement the secondary curricular pro-

grams, and as such becomes a vital part of a student’s total educational experiences. These experi-

ences contribute to the development of learning skills and emotional patterns that enable the stu-

dent to make maximum use of their education.

Student participation in any part of our athletic/activity program is a privilege which carries with it

responsibilities to the school, to the activity, to the student body, to the community and to the stu-

dent himself. This participation will help to develop the student physically, mentally socially, and

emotionally.

BASIC GUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPATION

Students are free to make their own selections as to sports in which they wish to

participate. If a student chooses to participate in two activities in the same season, she/she must indicate a “primary” activity and follow guidelines re-garding conflicts.

A student who has gone out for a sport but quits of his own accord, will not be eligible to start practicing for another sport before the end of the competition in the sport that was dropped: unless the head coach of the sport that was

dropped releases him/her and the head coach of the new sport involved ac-cepts the athlete. EVERY ATHLETE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS POLICY.

All students will be transported to and from respective games, meets, etc.; via school transportation. The only exception to this is when a parent makes a request, well in advance, to transport the student and contacts the head

coach personally to seek permission. If it is necessary to be absent from practice, the student is expected to obtain

permission from the head coach prior to the scheduled practice. Students must be present in school to participate in any activity scheduled for

that day. Exceptions are granted with administrative approval only.

In the event that truancy or ISS/OSS by a student takes place, the student will not be eligible for competition until he has fulfilled the disciplinary require-ments established by the administration.

In the event that a student is assigned an afternoon detention as the result

of a classroom problem, he is not allowed to use the excuse of “I have practice, so I can't stay." THE CLASSROOM OBLIGATION ALWAYS

COMES FIRST. The use of alcohol, tobacco, or nonprescription drugs is known to be detrimental

to the individual as well as the team he represents. Therefore, disciplinary action will be taken, which may result in the removal from the team, should you choose to use any of the above mentioned. (This is more clearly defined

in the following section.)

The coaching staff and administration at Belton High School endorse the follow-ing regulations ALONG WITH standards set by MSHSAA :

MSHSAA CITIZENSHIP STANDARDS & ELIGIBILITY 2.2 CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENTS 2.2.1 Citizenship: Students who represent a school in interscholastic activities must be creditable citizens and judged so by the proper authority. Those students whose character or conduct is such as to reflect discredit upon themselves or their schools are not considered ―creditable citizens.‖ Conduct shall be satisfactory in accord with the standards of good discipline. (212.0) 2.2.2 Law Enforcement: A student who commits an act for which charges may be or have been filed by law enforce-ment authorities under any municipal ordinance, misdemeanor or felony statute shall not be eligible until all proceed-ings with the legal system have been concluded and any penalty (i.e. jail time, fine, court costs, etc.) or special condi-tion of probation (i.e. restitution, community service, counseling, etc.) has been satisfied. If law enforcement authorities determine that charges will not be filed, eligibility will be contingent upon local school policies. Moving traffic offenses shall not affect eligibility, unless they involve drugs, alcohol, or injuries to others. After a student has completed all court appearances and penalties, and has satisfied all special conditions of probation and remains under general probation only, local school authorities shall determine eligibility. (212.0-a) 2.2.3 Local School: a. A student who violates a local school policy is ineligible until completion of the prescribed school penalties. b. The eligibility of a student who is serving detention or in-school suspension shall be determined by local school au-thorities. c. A student shall not be considered eligible while serving an out-of-school suspension. d. A student who is expelled or who withdraws from school because of disciplinary measures shall not be considered eligible for 365 days from the date of expulsion or withdrawal. e. If a student misses class(es) without being excused by the principal, the student shall not be considered eligible on that date. Further, the student cannot be certified eligible to participate on any subsequent date until the student attends a full day of classes. f. Each individual school has the authority to set more restrictive citizenship standards and shall have the authority and responsibility to judge its students under those standards. g. Each school shall diligently and completely investigate any issue that could affect student eligibility. (212.0-b) 2.2.4 Student Responsibility: Each student is responsible to notify the school of any and all situations that would af-fect his/her eligibility under the above standards. If the student does not notify the school of the situation prior to the school‘s discovery, then the student shall be ineligible for up to 365 days from discovery, pending review by the Board of Directors. (212.0-c) Citizenship Questions & Answers: Q1: We have a student who was recently found guilty in our local court of driving while intoxicated. He was fined and sentenced to ten days in jail to be served on the weekends over a period of five weeks. He has paid the fine and has six days of the jail sentence yet to be served over the next three weekends. What is his eligibility status? A1: In accord with By-Law 2.2 (212), a student who is found guilty of a law violation shall not be considered a creditable citizen until he/she has satisfied his/her fine and/or penalty. Thus, this student would not be eligible until he has served the six days remaining on his jail sentence. Once he has served the remaining sentence, it would be up to your local school administration to determine whether or not he has met all local requirements for citizenship eligibility. Q2: We have two students who were involved in criminal activity. One student has been charged but a court date has not been set. The other student is waiting for a charging decision by the prosecutor. School officials have received credible information that both students were involved. However, each student is going to plead “not guilty” until the mat-ter is resolved. Should we allow them to play? A2: No. It is important for local school officials to diligently check with law enforcement officials in such situations. Ac-cess to credible information or student admission of involvement confirms the student does not meet the standards that are necessary, and you should not allow the students to participate. Neither student should be considered eligible until all matters have been concluded within the legal system and your school. Q3: One of our students was found guilty of shoplifting. After paying restitution, the student was placed on probation with special conditions. Is the student eligible for any activities while on probation? A3: No. If the student is on probation under the suspended execution or suspended imposition of a sentence (SIS), the student must fulfill all special conditions of the probation such as jail time, payment of a fine, restitution, community service, counseling, etc. before eligibility can be restored. After the student has fulfilled the special conditions of proba-tion, but remains under general conditions of probation, the local school authorities shall determine the eligibility for that student in accord with the MSHSAA Board of Directors Policy. Q4: We have a student who was found guilty of an alcohol-related traffic offense. He has paid his fine and completed his community service; however, as a condition of his probation, he is required to take part in the Substance Abuse Traffic Offender Program (SATOP). Will the student be eligible before completing this program? A4: No. Any special conditions of probation must be completed before eligibility may be reinstated. After the student has fulfilled the special conditions of probation, but remains under general conditions of probation, the local school au-thorities shall determine the eligibility for that student in accord with MSHSAA Board of Directors Policy. Q5: We have a student who was found guilty of a crime in juvenile court and assigned 30 hours of community service. Will the student be eligible before completing the community service? A5: No. Community service is the equivalent of an assigned sentence and must be completed before eligibility may be reinstated.

MSHSAA CITIZENSHIP STANDARDS & ELIGIBILITY CONT. Q6: One of our students was charged with property damage. The case was transferred from state court to municipal court. The city prosecutor has indicated that he will dismiss the charge before court adjudication if the student will make restitution and perform community service hours. Will the student be eligible before paying restitution and completing all community service? A6: No. If dismissing a charge or not filing a charge hinges upon the student paying restitution and/or completing other sanctions such as community service, these requirements are the equivalent of an assigned sentence by a court and must be completed before eligibility may be reinstated. Q7: A student at our school skipped classes on Friday for an unapproved “senior skip day.” This resulted in an unex-cused absence. May this student participate in our conference track and field meet scheduled on Saturday? A7: No. By-Law 2.2 (212) provides that a student having an unexcused absence on a given day may not be eligible to participate in a contest until the student has once again attended a full day of classes (or has an excused absence) without an unexcused absence before eligibility is reinstated. In this situation, the student must attend all classes on Monday to re-establish eligibility. Q8: We have a student who participates in wrestling. He has been suspended for three days from classes (out-of-school) which fall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. He is scheduled to wrestle on Thursday at the state meet. Is he eligible? A8: No. Days of out-of-school suspension are considered unexcused absences and the student must attend all classes on Thursday to re-establish eligibility. Q9: One of our students was arrested at our school and charged with felony theft. Is this student eligible for tonight‟s ballgame? A9: School officials should immediately check any public court file for information and diligently speak with law enforce-ment and/or persons with first hand information. If there is sufficient information of probable involvement, the student should be withheld. Q10: A student in our school was absent on Friday. The absence is being recorded as an unexcused absence. The wrestling team has a tournament on Saturday and a dual meet on Monday. Can this student wrestle on Saturday? A10: No. By-Law 2.2 (212) provides a student may not be eligible to participate on the date of an unexcused absence and any subsequent date until the student attends a full day of classes without an unexcused absence. If the student attends classes all day on Monday he could be eligible for Monday night competition. Q11: One of our athletes recently received a ticket for “Failure to Yield” at a stop sign. No one was hurt, no property was damaged, and no drugs/alcohol were involved. How does this offense affect his eligibility for school activities? A11: As explained in By-Law 2.2.2 (212-a), this offense would not cause any period of ineligibility for the student unless your school has a more restrictive policy on such offices than those listed in By-Law 2.2 (212). Had drugs, alcohol, or injuries to others been involved, the student‘s eligibility would have been affected by the incident.

PROTECT YOUR ELIGIBILITY The Missouri State High School Activities Association, of which BHS is a member, is a voluntary,

nonprofit, educational association of junior and senior high schools established for the purpose of

working cooperatively in adopting standards for supervising and regulating interscholastic activi-

ties and contests.

One of the primary functions of the MSHSAA is to establish eligibility standards that must be met

by all students to attain the privilege of representing their school in interscholastic activities.

Eligibility is a PRIVILEGE to be granted by the school to a student, which allows that student to

participate in interscholastic activities. Eligibility is NOT A STUDENT'S RIGHT BY LAW.

Precedent setting legal cases have determined that eligibility is a privilege to be granted only if the

student meets all standards adopted by the school which enables the school to grant the student

such a privilege.

Listed below is some information to acquaint you with the major rules and regulations you must

follow in order to protect your eligibility.

You must be a creditable school citizen. Creditable school citizens are those students whose con-

duct, both in and out of school, will not reflect discredit upon themselves or their schools.

Academics - Students must pass at least 80% of the classes they were enrolled in to be eligi-

ble for athletics and activities. Students must have passed 5 of 6 classes offered at

the Freshman Center or 7 of 8 classes at the high school during the previous semes-

ter, depending upon which building they attended. A student may make up

5

no more than one credit in summer school toward eligibility.

Transferring Schools

If you transfer schools and your parents do not move to your new school district, you

will be ineligible for 365 days, unless you meet one of the exceptions to the transfer

or promotion rules. (See your principal or athletic administrator.)

If you move with your parents to your new school district you will be eligible immedi-

ately.

Participation Limits

You are eligible to participate in any sport for a maximum of four seasons. Any part of

a game played during a season counts as a season of participation.

Your eligibility to participate in high school activities begins when you first enter the

ninth grade and lasts for the first eight semesters that you are enrolled in high

school. Your eighth semester must immediately follow your seventh semester.

You must enter school within the first 11 days of the semester to be eligible.

Awards Standards

You may not receive cash, merchandise or gift certificates for participating in an athlet-

ic contest.

You may accept awards that are symbolic in nature, such as medals, trophies, ribbons,

plaques, etc., for participating in a school athletic program. These awards may be

received only from your school, from a school hosting an event, or from the

MSHSAA.

You may accept awards for participating in non-school sponsored athletic competition

only if the awards are symbolic in nature, such as medals, trophies, ribbons,

plaques, etc.

If you reach the age of 19 prior to July 1, you will be ineligible for interscholastic competition the

next school year.

Non-School Competition

You may not participate in any organized non-school athletic competition and your

school team IN THE SAME SPORT during the same season.

You may participate on a school team and a non-school team in different sports during

the same season; however, you may not practice or compete in non-school orga-

nized athletic competition ON THE SAME DAY that you practice or compete with

your school team without approval of the school administration.

Before you join any non-school team or enter any non-school competition involving

athletics, check with your athletic administrator to make certain these standards

are being met.

You may participate in an "audition" or "try-out" for a college team only after you have completed

your last season of eligibility in the sport for which you wish to tryout.

Sports Camps/Clinics

You may attend a non-school sponsored summer specialized sports camp for as long as

you wish, where you do not receive instruction or coaching from a member of your

school's coaching staff.

You may not attend a specialized athletic camp during the school year.

You may attend a camp or clinic where your school's coaching staff instructs or coach-

es for a period no longer than two weeks in duration.

REMINDER: Any questions pertaining to eligibility that is not answered above should be

brought to the attention of your athletic administrator.

6

CARE OF EQUIPMENT

In order to give the student a sense of responsibility and an appreciation of their equipment, each

will be held accountable for the abuse or loss of it. ANY EQUIPMENT LOST OR STOLEN

MUST BE PAID FOR BY THE STUDENT IN WHOSE NAME IT WAS CHECKED OUT.

The following guidelines, if adhered to, will reduce the chances for lost or stolen equipment.

Do not exchange or loan any of the equipment checked out to you to another teammate. If ex-

change is warranted, clear it on your checkout card by having the coach make the adjustments.

Except when you are in visual contact, keep your locker closed and LOCKED at all times.

This includes when you are in the shower.

Any loss of equipment should be reported immediately to the head coach, rather than waiting

until the end of the season.

Any protective equipment that does not fit properly or that has any defective parts should be

reported to a coach immediately. Do not wear the equipment until the necessary adjustments

have been made. This is for your protection.

It is against the MSHSAA regulations to sell or rent any equipment to individuals. The athletic

department of BHS strictly adheres to the regulation. Therefore, any equipment you may see

out of the school environment does not belong to the individual(s). Please report any such vio-

lation to a coach or the athletic administrator. By doing so, you are not only helping the athlet-

ic department, but also the individual who must pay for the stolen item.

LETTERING

To be eligible for a letter, an athlete must complete the season in good standing (injuries or ill

health are exceptions) and be properly released by the coach. Qualifications to letter will be kept

on file in the athletic director's office. Before the start of each season the requirements for letter-

ing will be reviewed by the coach, and a copy can be obtained upon request.

PHYSICIAN EXAMS AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

Athletic By-Law 309 (a) in the Missouri State High School Activities Association handbook

states: The school shall require of each student participating in athletics a physician's certificate

stating that he or she is physically able to participate in athletic contests of her or his school. The

medical certificate must be on file before the student will be allowed to practice with any of the

BHS athletic teams. For a physical to be valid it must have been obtained after February 1, 2012.

Athletic By-Law 309 (b) in the above handbook states: A student shall not be permitted to prac-

tice or compete for a school until it has verification that he or she has basic athletic insurance cov-

erage. (Also on file.)

The district does provide basic individual accident insurance for its students or athletes if they are

unable to acquire insurance of their own.

It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to understand the coverage offered by a plan before

they make a selection.

SPORTSMANSHIP

PARENT/GUARDIAN RESPONSIBILITY

Both parenting and coaching are extremely difficult vocations. By establishing an understanding

of each position, we are better able to accept the actions of the other and provide greater benefit to

students. As parents, when your child becomes involved in our program, you have a right to un-

derstand what expectations are placed on your child. This begins with clear communication from

the coach of your child’s team.

To better improve communication all head coaches will host a "meet the coaches" night to better

explain the expectations of the coming season. A time will be set-aside for you to ask questions

that evening. The date and time of this meeting will be sent home with your athlete.

Questions and concerns will arise from time to time. When they do, the parent/guardian should

call or make an appointment to visit with the coach. Please do not confront a coach after a contest.

If the problem cannot be resolved with the coach then the next step is to contact the Athletic Direc-

tor

Action regarding the misconduct of a fan, parent/guardian shall range from a warning to suspen-

sion of game(s) to being required to appear before the Board of Education to show reason why that

person should not be prohibited from attending future games. Violent acts shall result in charges

being brought against the individual or information being provided the prosecuting attorney, who

may bring charges under Missouri law.

COMMUNICATION YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM YOUR CHILD’S COACH

Philosophy of the coach.

Expectations the coach has for your child as well as all the players on the team.

Location and times of all practices and contests.

Team requirements, i.e. fees, special equipment, off-season conditioning.

Procedures should your child be injured during practice or contest.

Discipline that results in the denial of your child’s participation.

COMMUNICATION COACHES EXPECT FROM PARENTS

Concerns expressed directly to the coach.

Notification of any schedule conflicts well in advance.

Specific concern in regard to a coach’s philosophy and/or expectations.

APPROPRIATE CONCERNS TO DISCUSS WITH COACHES

The treatment of your child mentally and physically.

Ways to help your child improve.

Concerns about your child’s behavior.

ISSUES NOT APPROPRIATE TO DISCUSS WITH COACHES

Playing time

Team strategy

Play calling

Other student-athletes

Anti-Hazing/Bullying Policy

Student assaults, fighting, and/or hazing

In order to promote a safe learning environment for all students, the Belton No. 124 School District pro-

hibits all forms of hazing, bullying and student intimidation. Students participating in or encouraging inap-

propriate conduct will be disciplined in accordance with JG-R. Such discipline may include, but is not

limited to, suspension or expulsion from school and removal from participation in activities. Students who

have been subjected to hazing or bullying are instructed to promptly report such incidents to a school offi-

cial.

In addition, district staff, coaches, sponsors and volunteers shall not permit, condone or tolerate any form

of hazing or bullying or plan, direct, encourage, assist, engage or participate in any activity that involves

hazing or bullying. District staff will report incidents of hazing and bullying to the building principal. The

principal shall promptly investigate all complaints of hazing and bullying and shall administer appropriate

discipline to all individuals who violate this policy. District staff who violate this policy may be disci-

plined or terminated.

The superintendent will provide for appropriate training designed to assist staff, coaches, sponsors and

volunteers in identifying, preventing and responding to incidents of hazing and bullying.

The district shall annually inform students, parents, district staff and volunteers that hazing and bullying is

prohibited. This notification may occur through the distribution of the written policy, publication in hand-

books, presentations at assemblies or verbal instructions by the coach or sponsor at the start of the season

or program.

Definitions

Hazing – For purposes of this policy, hazing is defined as any activity, on or off school grounds, that a

reasonable person believes would negatively impact the mental or physical health or safety of a student or

put the student in a ridiculous, humiliating, stressful or disconcerting position for the purposes of initia-

tion, affiliation, admission, membership or maintenance of membership in any group, class, organization,

club or athletic team including, but not limited to, a grade level, student organization or school-sponsored

activity.

Hazing may include those actions that subject a student to extreme mental stress including, but not limited

to, sleep deprivation, physical confinement, forced conduct that could result in extreme embarrassment or

criminal activity, or other stress-inducing activities. Hazing may also include, but is not limited to: acts of

physical brutality; whipping; beating; branding; exposing to the elements; forcing consumption of any

food, liquor, drug or other substance; forcing inhalation or ingestion of tobacco products; or any other

forced physical activity that could adversely affect the physical health or safety of an individual.

Hazing may occur even when all students involved are willing participants. Hazing does not occur when a

student is required to audition or try out for an organization when the criteria are reasonable, approved by

the district and legitimately related to the purpose of the organization.

Bullying – For purposes of this policy, bullying is defined as intimidation or harassment of a student or

multiple students perpetuated by individuals or groups. Bullying includes, but is not limited to: physical

actions, including violence, gestures, theft, or damaging property; oral or written taunts, including name-

calling, put-downs, extortion, or threats; or threats of retaliation for reporting such acts. Bullying may also

include cyberbullying or cyberthreats. Cyberbullying is sending or posting harmful or cruel text or images

using the Internet or other digital communication devices. Cyberthreats are online materials that threaten

or raise concerns about violence against others, suicide or self-harm. Students involved with cyberbullying

or cyberthreats while at school or using the district’s equipment or Internet access will be subject to appro-

priate discipline.

CONDITIONING AND THE PREVENTION OF INJURIES

Proper sports conditioning will improve the power, speed and endurance of the athlete on the field

or in the gymnasium. It will also help strengthen muscles and joints, increase flexibility and max-

imize agility through the channeling of aerobic as well as anaerobic power. In addition to the ben-

efit of increased performance, statistics indicate that sports conditioning will assist in preventing

injury.

Year-round conditioning can increase athletic performance considerably. Training, unfortunately,

is easily reversible and that is why year-round conditioning is so important. Opportunities are pro-

vided for athletes at BHS to be involved in year-round conditioning. It is strongly recommended

that all athletes not involved in a sport during an off-season be participating in the conditioning

program. Naturally, the best course of action is to stay involved in a competitive program each of

the three seasons, where conditioning is built into the sport.

All athletes want to perform to the best of their ability, yet often a sprained ankle, a bad knee or a

pulled muscle will prevent one from doing the best they can. Though there is no guarantee these

injuries will not occur, their frequency and seriousness can be reduced through simple measures-

such as the year-round conditioning mentioned above, training techniques, good sportsmanship-

like behavior, and an awareness of the injury patterns in your chosen sport. Lastly, make certain to

consult with the athletic trainer immediately if an injury does occur.

SUMMARY

Students are reminded that they must meet all citizenship and academic standards as outlined by

the Missouri State High School Activity Association along with rules and regulations established

by individual coaches. Failure to meet these standards may result in disciplinary measures that

could include loss of eligibility.

Research indicates a student involved in co-curricular activities has a greater chance of success

during adulthood, therefore, these programs have been established. Many of the character traits

required to be a successful participant are exactly those that will promote a successful life after

high school. We hope the information makes both your child’s and your experience with the Bel-

ton School High School Athletic Program less stressful and more enjoyable.
