Expectations
District transportation is not provided to away games, Please make arrangements to transport athletes to away competitions, and if you will be having another adult transport your athlete for an early release competition you will need to fill out and submit our Athletic Student Transportation Authorization Form to the Athletics Office .
Athletes MUST be picked up by within 15 minutes of the end of practice.
Students must be in attendance for at least half of the day (3.5 hours) in order to participate in after-school activities. Students leaving school early due to illness or a non-approved reason will not be allowed to attend or participate in any athletic activity on that day.
At Timberview, academics are our top priority. Athletes with two or more D’s or one or more F’s will be considered ineligible to compete in games the following week unless they complete the Eligibility Form which requires an improvement plan and signatures from the teacher(s) and a parent. The form must be returned to the athletic office by the deadline indicated on the form. Ineligible students are permitted to practice but may not play in competitions.
Incidents requiring the discipline of student athletes may impact their playing time. Reoccurring discipline problems may result in the student being dismissed from the team.
All athletes and spectators will be held to the highest of standards with regards to sportsmanship. Please be courteous and use ONLY positive remarks toward game officials, coaches, players, and visiting teams. Remember parents, you are a role model for your child and are also representing Timberview.
Interscholastic athletes are selected and playing time is based on character, commitment, work ethic, attitude, and skill level. Some athletes may get more playing time than others.
Please abide by our 24-hour rule, which states if you have concerns with the coach, you need to make an appointment with the coach the day following the game or practice. Immediately after a game is usually not a good time to have a discussion with the coach. Please refrain from coaching your child from the sideline.
Parents or family members of athletes will not be considered for volunteer coaching positions in the sports their child is participating in.
