CRATER HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC CODE OF CONDUCT Parent/Student Copy School District #6 believes that the opportunity for participation in interscholastic athletics is a privilege extended to students. Students involved with athletics are to be responsible representatives of their school and community. The impression each student leaves on others has a direct effect upon your school, fellow students, and School District #6. Prior to participation in athletics, the student and parent(s)/guardian(s) will be required to sign and return this form with the assurance that they have read and understand the Athletic Code of Conduct. All students representing Crater High School must comply with the standards of conduct listed herein. This policy is a minimum conduct standard. Coaches may add other expectations specific to their sport, but the following are rules that all participants are expected to follow. BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN ATHLETICS 1. Any student whose behavior reflects negatively on an individual student, the team, or school is prohibited. Individuals involved will be subject to disciplinary action. This decision lies with an administrator and the head coach. 2. Use of tobacco, in any form at any time, is prohibited. Student athletes guilty of tobacco use at any time will be disciplined by the Crater Athletic Department. This discipline will be a one game suspension or the student athlete will be required to attend an On-track substance abuse class. * Each subsequent violation will result in a two-week suspension from athletic competition. 3.

STEP ONE If in season, an immediate two-week suspension from competition will occur. If out of season, suspension will begin the first day of practice for their sport season for that school year (and include at least one contest). Parents or guardians will be notified by the head coach or administrator. Parents or guardians will, with school personnel assistance, arrange for an assessment. The student must comply with any further requirements based on the results of the assessment. Failure to comply will result in the student being dismissed from the team. For any other offense involving a student while attending Crater, STEP TWO procedures will be followed. Athlete is to continue to attend practice during the two-week suspension. ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION If a student who is using and/or admits having used illegal or illicit substances that student can continue competition after assessment results are shared with school officials and the student is following the prescribed recommendations.

TRANSPORTATION To be eligible to participate, an athlete must travel to and from contest in transportation provided/approved by the school. An athlete must return home with the team unless prior arrangements have been made in writing to the coach. Written requests may only be accepted from the parents or legal guardian of the student.

After suffering a concussion, no athlete should return to play or practice on the same day. Previously, athletes were allowed to return to play if their symptoms resolved within 15 minutes of the injury. Studies have shown that the young brain does not recover that quickly, thus the Oregon Legislature has established a rule that no player shall return to play following a concussion on that same day and the athlete must be cleared by an appropriate health care professional before they are allowed to return to play or practice. Once an athlete is cleared to return to play, they should proceed with activity in a stepwise fashion to allow their brain to readjust to exertion. The athlete may complete a new step each day. The return to play schedule should proceed as below following medical clearance: Step 1: Light exercise, including walking or riding an exercise bike. No weightlifting. Step 2: Running in the gym or on the field. No helmet or other equipment. Step 3: Non contact training drills in full equipment. Weight training can begin. Step 4: Full contact practice or training. Step 5: Game play. If symptoms occur at any step, the athlete should cease activity and be re evaluated by a health care provider. 581 021 0041 Form and Protocol for Sports Physical Examinations 1. The State Board of Education adopts by reference the form entitled "School Sports Pre Participation Examination " dated May, 2017 that must be used to document the physical examination and sets out the protocol for conducting the physical examination.
