It includes a variety of activities which are a direct outgrowth of the regular classroom activities. As such the athletic program strives to provide for the needs of young people, giving each student additional opportunities to acquire and develop skills, attitudes and appreciations according to his/her individual interests, needs, and abilities. The activities help the student develop into a responsible and efficient member of the community. LAUREL-CONCORD PUBLIC SCHOOL GUIDELINES The purpose of this handbook is to acquaint all athletes, parents, coaches, administrators, and the board of education with the policies athletes and the athletic staff must adhere. We believe that a better understanding and greater consistency will result in a higher degree of excellence and strengthen our programs both educationally and athletically. An athletic program is one aspect of the total school program directed toward developing the following objectives: *To improve the image of high school athletics. *To strive always for playing excellence that will produce winning teams. *To ensure growth and development that will raise the number of individual participants; that will give impetus to increasing attendance at each contest; that will build up gate receipts; and that will enable a program of continuing upkeep and improvement of facilities. *To provide opportunities that will allow the program to serve as a laboratory where students may cope with problems and handle situations similar to those encountered under conditions prevailing in the contemporary world. The laboratory should provide adequate and natural opportunities for: Physical, mental and emotional growth and development; Acquisition and development of special skills in activities of each student's choice; Team play with the development of such concomitants as: Loyalty, cooperation, fair play, and other desirable social traits; Directed leadership and supervision that stresses: Self-discipline, self-motivation, excellence, and the ideals of good sportsmanship that make for winning and losing graciously; A focus of interests on activity programs for student body, faculty and community that will generate a feeling of unity; Achievement of initial goals as set by the school in general and the student as an individual; Provisions for worthy use of leisure time in later life, either as a participant or spectator; Participation by the most skilled that will enable these individuals to ascertain possibilities for future pursuits. The Laurel-Concord school offers a
comprehensive and interesting range of extracurricular
activities. The students and their parents should weigh the
advantages of participating in these activities with the
student's ability to maintain an acceptable grade point
average. A students' regular schooling must be considered
first. Extracurricular activities that are available to
students include:
Activity participation may be limited by selection or special talent qualifications. STANDARDS FOR STUDENTS INVOLVED IN EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES The following standards for students involved in extra-curricular activities at Laurel-Concord Public School have been developed by the Activities Director, Administration and Board of Education. If for any reason these standards are not applicable to your activity, please contact the Activities Director. 1. Students involved in extra-curricular activities are leaders in our school. You are expected, therefore, to set a good example in regard to conduct, personal grooming and dress, appropriate to the time and place. Your actions and appearance represent your parents, your school, and you. 2. If for any reason a student is going to miss a practice, it is their responsibility to either personally notify, or have their parents notify the Coach/Sponsor that they are unable to attend. This should be done as early as possible so that the Coach/ Sponsor may plan practice with absent team member in mind. 3. Swearing has no place in school activities. 4. Report all injuries, sickness, blisters, etc. to your Coach promptly. If he/she knows about your problems, he/she can help you. 5. Practice positive self-discipline; proper dress and grooming must be encouraged at all times. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION & PERMISSION SHEETS Each student who wishes to participate in a sport must present to the coach a physical examination form completed by a physician and signed by the student's parents/guardian and physician declaring the student is physically fit for athletic participation. Forms are available at the high school office or via the school's web site. These must be completed before the student may practice or participate in competition. A specific parental approval form will also be provided and must be completed and returned before participation will be allowed. Only one physical and parental approval form is required for the entire school year. The Administration shall be responsible to the Board of Education for the operation of all activities programs.

Volunteer Coaches are subordinate to Assistant Coaches in the hierarchy of coaching responsibilities. Students and parents must bring their questions or concerns to the level most closely associated with the problem. Please refer to the section entitled "Procedure for Due Process" for any questions or concerns not satisfactorily addressed at the initial step. Beginning with the 1999-2000 school year, the policy of the Board of Education shall be to employ assistant coaches on an as-needed basis. Such need is to be determined by the number of students par-ticipating in each given sport. Such criteria shall apply according to the following table:
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ACTIVITIES DIRECTOR The Activities Director shall be responsible for the organization and coordination of all phases of the junior-senior high school activities in accordance with the policies of the Laurel-Concord Board of Education and the Nebraska School Activities Association. All plans, procedures and activities are subject to the approval by the superintendent of schools or his/her designee. Official responsibilities and duties include: 1. Serve as the official representative of the high
school at conference, regional and state clinics, pairings or other
meetings involving extra-curricular activities. RESPONSIBILITIES OF HEAD COACHES The Head Coach of each sport is delegated the responsibility of outlining all the duties and authority of each assigned member of his/her staff (Senior and Junior High) and shall describe in detail to them the principles, techniques, methods, attitudes, and skills he/she wants taught and shall coordinate and supervise the work of his/her staff. The Head Coach, in conjunction with the Activities Director, shall develop, interpret, and enforce activities policies and standards that will serve the best interests of the squad and activities department within the framework of the Philosophies and Goals of Laurel-Concord Public School. When participation in an athletic event causes a student to miss classes, the Head Coach should secure from the Principal's office absence permit forms which are to be filled out by the coach and given to the athletes to secure the signatures of teachers whose classes they will miss, indicating that the student has made preparation for make-up work. The coach then returns the form to the Principal's office. This should occur prior to the absence. The Coach should also provide the teachers with a list of those making the trip. Practice schedules should be planned out prior to practice. Head Coaches are expected to explain their philosophy, plays, techniques, etc., to their assistants and Junior High Coaches of their particular sport. The assistants and Junior High Coaches are expected to carry them out. Meetings will be held when necessary to discuss problems that may arise. Head Coaches are responsible for the Coaches' room, locker room, equipment room, and playing facilities during their season. At least one coach will remain in the building until all boys or girls from your sport have left. The last Coach to leave the building will be responsible for locking all exits and turning out all lights. All doors and windows to locker rooms and gym should be locked before leaving at night. The Coaches' room and storage rooms should be kept locked at all times when they do not have a Coach in them. The Head Coach is responsible for seeing that the locker rooms and Coaches' room are picked up and kept reasonably clean. This should be monitored daily. Coaches are responsible for safety in the locker rooms. Close supervision is required. Head Coaches are responsible for preparing statistics and scores following varsity competition to the conference official, any local and area newspapers, radio and television stations and any other forms of media typically informed of competition results. Head Coaches are also responsible assisting the Activities Director in the coordination and scheduling of athletic camps, clinics and leagues and open gym. If a team is involved in a league, camp, or open gym, all eligible participants must be provided information and invited to attend. The Head Coach will provide information about individual camps and clinics and will arrange to have this information available to any student in the Activities Director's Office. Start of the Season END OF THE SEASON - Turn these in
to the Activities Director A. Evaluation of Activities Director RESPONSIBILITIES OF ASSISTANT COACHES 1. Assistant Coaches shall study the principles, techniques,
methods, attitudes, and skills that the Head Coach wants taught and
shall work faithfully to develop them. RESPONSIBILITIES OF VOLUNTEER COACHES 1. Volunteer Coaches must be approved by the Activities
Director prior to being involved with the program. *Failure to carry out any of the above expectations will result in immediate removal from the program. WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION CAN EXPECT FROM COACHES AND SPONSORS An example for all students of healthful living, high moral fiber and good sportsmanship. Achievement of the following criteria: 1. Competence in teaching. The ability to teach players
to think clearly in stress situations. a. Understanding the sociological, physiological and psychological needs of participants. 4. High character and personality. a. The Coach should embody all desirable human traits. An unwavering interest in the physical well-being of all players. No player should ever participate who is not physically fit. Sincere interest in the student's classroom achievements and conduct. Make every effort to stimulate scholastic achievement and citizenship by counseling with students and working with faculty. Refrain from pressure tactics or asking for special privileges. Sincere interest in the total school achievement by attending most school functions. Care in selection, maintenance, handling and inventorying of the finest equipment available. The loss of or unwarranted destruction of equipment from lack of care results only in available funds being used for replacement rather than build-up of a high quality equipment inventory. A well-disciplined squad both on and off the fields or courts. Loyalty. Coaches will support all decisions as to methods and policy deemed necessary by administration or head coaches. Agreement is not necessary, but support of the decision is. Back biting destroys squad, school, and community morale and results in loss of job satisfaction and eventually in loss of position. Participating in community functions lets people get to know you. WHAT THE COACHES AND SPONSORS CAN EXPECT FROM ADMINISTRATION Public declaration and support of a sound philosophy of athletics. The lending of full support to the Nebraska School Activities Association, the Northeast Nebraska Activities Conference and the local coaching staff. Interest in the development and maintenance of a superior athletic program; advice, guidance and direction toward the improvement of the program according to the sound principles of education, athletics, and administration. Unqualified support, win or lose, for coaches who competently work with players under their direction according to the Educational Goals of the Laurel-Concord Public School. An understanding of the problems of good coaches and aid in helping solve them. Adequate financial support and physical facilities. WHAT THE COACHES, SPONSORS AND ADMINISTRATION CAN EXPECT FROM STUDENT ATHLETES That they will represent themselves, their parents, the school, and the community in a socially acceptable manner as regarding dress, personal grooming and manners, appropriate to time and place. Maintenance of scholastic achievement according to ability. Maximum effort contributing to team goals. Faithful care and use of equipment and facilities according to recognized standards as set by Coaches/Sponsors. The development of personal habits that lead to excellence in physical skill, strength, endurance and health. It is expected that all Coaches/Sponsors will require athletes and other students as well, to refer to adults in positions of authority as Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Coach, or in some manner denoting respect. The development of respect for authority is an area in which those involved in extra-curricular activities should provide leadership. While all sports have different requirements, it is expected that the head coach of each sport will develop and with the help of his/her staff, maintain practice standards and procedures that he/she feels are desirable for his/her sport and are in accord with the school's Athletic Philosophy. It is expected that when any coach is explaining any phase of an activity, that all athletes and coaches involved in the area will give the instructor their complete attention. A coach involved in explanation may assume that other coaches will see that this standard is maintained. Coaches shall not permit a student who is not a member of the high school team, an adult, a college student, or alumni to participate in any practice session, drill, scrimmage, game, or contest in which a school team or an individual who is a member of school team is involved. This does not prevent a coach from being involved for the primary purposes of teaching and demonstrating skills, methods, or techniques. If an athlete is injured to the extent that his/her injury will require a doctor's attention, the head coach will send one of his/her assistants with the athlete to the doctor, hospital, home, etc. Coaches should instruct athletes in the care of their equipment and follow up to see that it is being cared for. There is a place for all equipment--see that it is kept there. High standards of conduct in the locker room are conducive to success. Horseplay in the locker room and shower room such as towel snapping, pushing, wrestling, loud yelling, etc., contributes only to injury; natural jubilation is to be expected, but any act which is capable of causing injury or is damaging to team goals should be prohibited. Coaches should be in close proximity to lockers--Assistant or Head Coach should be in the locker rooms during dressing if possible. All students participating in varsity sports, regardless of skill, who are providing their maximum effort in contributing to the team goals must be retained on the squad as long as they desire. No athlete, regardless of grade, is guaranteed a varsity uniform. Only athletes in grades 9-11 may be considered for participation in contests below the varsity level. The following guidelines for varsity competition have been established by the NSAA and/or the Board of Education for the following activities:
All meetings, practices and contests will be scheduled through the Activities Director. Good managers are of great value to athletic teams. Managers must maintain the same standards of eligibility as athletes if they are to represent Laurel-Concord Public School in interscholastic athletics. Managers should be neatly and appropriately dressed for their work. Coaches should allot a certain amount of time to training managers, describing in detail what is expected of them in all areas of their work and providing checklists for them to rely on. Purposes: To keep all game equipment in good condition and to prevent unnecessary loss of equipment. All students will be expected to follow correct laundry procedures as recommended by the coach. There shall be a Coach/Adult immediately present for supervision at any time any facilities are open to students. The use of school facilities for practices or meetings on Sunday shall not be permitted unless special permission is granted by the Superintendent. Only tennis shoes will be allowed on the gym floor. Students are asked to check to make sure that shoes are clean and free of dirt, gravel, gum, etc. Because of the desirability of maintaining grass cover, the use of the game football field shall be limited for practice to one night per week for the varsity squad. For all other practice use, consult the Activities Director. Wednesday night is Church/Family Night. No activities are to be sponsored by the school later than 6:00 p.m. on any Wednesday. In case of state-sponsored events, there will be some adjustment to this policy. The Coaches' offices shall be maintained as offices and kept neat and orderly. These offices provide one of the primary impressions visitors have of the Athletic Department. Coaches should keep their equipment and clothing hung up in the places provided. Desks should not be cluttered nor should miscellaneous equipment, boxes, etc., litter the floor and tops of lockers. Athletes learn more from what a coach is, than from what he says. We expect the athletes to care for their equipment and to maintain clean, orderly lockers--set a good example. The Board of Education of Laurel-Concord Public Schools recognizes the value of extra-curricular activities as part of a students educational experience. Through these activities, students may learn social skills, develop self-confidence, and learn to appreciate the value of hard work. The participation in extra-curricular activities is voluntary and considered an earned privilege granted by the successful completion of an academic program. To be eligible to compete in extra-curriculum activities, after the second week of the quarter, a student must be passing in all but one (1) subject area. Any student failing more than one (1) course will be placed on academic probation for one (1) week (Monday-Sunday). Students will have a one (1) week period to bring their grades to a passing level. If, after the end of that time, the student is failing two (2) or more classes (does not have to be the same classes), the student will be ineligible for the following week. Raising grades during that time will have no effect on the eligibility for that week. If at the end of the week in which the student was ineligible, the student is still failing more than one (1) class, the ineligibility continues for the next week. Students do not get another week of probation until they have worked themselves off of the ineligibility list by having one (1) or fewer failing grade averages. During a period of ineligibility, students are expected to attend practice sessions for the activities in which they are involved. The eligibility list will be run at 11:15 a.m. on Mondays. The faculty and administration reserve the right to deviate from this policy in the case of students who have identified Special Education Handicapping conditions. A student must have received 20 semester hours of credit the immediate preceding semester to be eligible for the current semester. Students may participate in practice but not represent Laurel-Concord Public Schools in INTERSCHOLASTIC COMPETITION if they are failing in the above manner. These activities may include but are not limited to:
Class field trips, local musical concerts and class plays are not included on the above list of activities that a student may miss because of violation of the eligibility policy. In addition to the local policy above, N.S.A.A. enforces certain rules for participation in athletics. These provide additional rules to be met for each athlete in the legal participation in athletics. The local and state policies both determine eligibility. N.S.A.A. rules will be posted. It should be understood that if a student is serving a suspension or not in school by 12:00 noon, that student will not be allowed to participate in a school-sponsored activity that evening. It is still permissible to be absent from school on Friday and participate on Saturday. The Principal reserves the authority to waive this requirement for an unusual circumstance. DUAL SPORT SEASONS Please be aware of the following NSAA Approved Rulings in regard to the sports offered by Laurel-Concord Public Schools. NSAA Yearbook, Page 33, #1--If a student is participating in one sport during a sports season and decides to quit that sport and participate in another sport during the same season, the student shall be restricted from practice and competing for seven school days.

It should be understood that athletes and parents will be expected to follow the due process steps in the event legal action should be initiated at some later date. Steps one through nine should be followed in the enforcing of all rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Education concerning the conduct and eligibility of students participating in interschool activities. If the alleged infraction involves the possible violation of the Constitution. By-laws or Approved Rulings of the Nebraska School Activities Association, steps one through ten should be followed.
BUS RIDERS AT CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES The same rules as for regular buses apply. Time schedules may vary slightly with a seasonal change of activity. It is the activity bus rider's responsibility to know the schedule when it is announced. Any student that is in an activity is expected to ride the activity bus. If for some reason the student must ride with his/her parents, then the parents are responsible to contact the activity sponsor and ask for permission. The activity sponsor has the authority to grant or refuse permission because he is responsible for the welfare of these students. Athletes, band members, and other special student groups must ride the assigned transportation when attending co-curricular activity events. The driver has full authority at all times and shall report any disturbances to the Superintendent or Principal. Only a written excuse from the parents or guardians of a student will allow deviation from this policy. In this instance, students may ride home with parents or other identified adults--rides home with peers is not permitted. This written request will be presented to the sponsor in advance of the vehicle leaving school or returning. Student conduct on any bus is to in no way disrupt the driver's ability to safely drive. Teacher sponsors are assigned to be in charge of student bus conduct. However, if the driver does not feel that he or she can operate the bus in complete safety, the driver will take charge. 1. Students are to enter and leave from the front loading
door only. ATHLETIC INSURANCE AND INJURY PROCEDURE All athletes are required to be covered by some accident insurance or have a signed release from their parents. Since most athletes, however, will have insurance provided by an insurance company you should become familiar with the policy provisions and exceptions. Any serious injury to an athlete should be reported as soon as possible to the Athletic Director. Coaches should have, readily available, the name, address, and phone number of the parents and family doctor of each athlete. The Head Coach of each sport shall cause notice of athletic injury to those insured to be reported to the Superintendent on a form provided for the purpose, within 12 hours of the injury so that local records may be completed and the insurance company notified within their (30-day) time limit. Anytime the Coach thinks that an athlete might be going to a doctor, he should fill out the injury report form and file it in the office. If the athlete does not go to the doctor, no harm has been done. It is vital for the protection of the athletes and the coaches that this procedure is followed exactly. Procedure in case of severe
injury: PURCHASING All purchases will be made by the Activities Director/Principal. Any purchase made in any other fashion will be paid for by any Coach/Sponsor making the order. All purchases will be made on a regular school purchase order. Requests for equipment will be made to the Athletic Director when yearly inventories are turned in. No Coach/Sponsor shall ask for nor expect rebates or gifts from sporting goods dealers as a concession for doing business. Equipment will be purchased in accordance to a quality-price relationship and not on the basis of friendships. Bids will be taken on most equipment purchased. No Coach/Sponsor will contract to sell any form of equipment, new or used. TRANSPORTATION Any transportation needs for athletics must first be cleared by the Activities Director. All trips are to be made by school bus or school car, only State Tournament teams will be an exception and must be approved by the Administration. All expenses (mileage, meals, etc.) must be cleared by the Activities Director. MEALS AND LODGING Trips requiring meals such as sectionals, districts, or state meets when athletes are actually taking part will be reimbursed by Activity Funds. This will cover students and coaches/sponsors that are directly involved in that particular activity. If lodging is required, it must be approved by the Superintendent in advance. SCOUTING The school will provide transportation for all scouting trips, if possible, and must be arranged in advance with the Activities Director. A school vehicle must be used whenever available. COACHING CLINICS Each varsity boys and girls head coach and assistant of football, volleyball, basketball, track and golf shall have one day of released time to attend a clinic (or state competition) in their sport(s). They shall be compensated in terms of hotel or motel lodging, meals, registration fees, and mileage (one person only) or the use of the available school vehicle. Receipts are required for reimbursement. PRACTICE When school is dismissed or not held because of existing weather conditions, there will be no practice for any of the athletic teams of the school district. Games scheduled for the night when school is dismissed will be held if at all possible. If a game is cancelled or re-scheduled the local radio stations will carry this announcement-- KTCH-Wayne, KNEN- Norfolk, WJAG-Norfolk, WNAX-Yankton, or KYNT-KK93-Yankton. Television stations used will be KCAU-Ch 9 and KTIV-Ch 4. SCHEDULING All scheduling will be done by the Activities Director. Any games scheduled in any other fashion will not be played. Any changes in the schedule will be made with the approval of the Activities Director. Scheduling of night practices and vacation practices must be cleared with the Activities Director. STUDENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN PARTICIPATION If a student finds himself in the situation where he is to compete in two N.S.A.A. sanctioned events at the same time and date, the student and his parents will decide which event to compete in. Coaches and sponsors are to provide no pressure to the student and his/her parents in making this difficult decision. When a conflict arises as to involvement of a student in two activities, one being a competitive event for the student, the other being an event the student wishes to attend (while not competing)--the following procedure shall be used: The student may attend the non-competitive event if written permission is received from the coach or sponsor of the competitive event and the students parents.
