Troy School District
Code of Student Athletics
Attendance at practice sessions

A.  Attendance at practice sessions is essential to prepare athletes physically and mentally for athletic contests. All team members are required to be at all athletic practice sessions and contests at the times designated by the coach. Should situations occur when it is impossible for a participant to attend due to illness, injury or other required school or family commitments, the student shall make prior arrangements with the coach for an excused absence.

B.  Participants shall be excused from team practice during regular school vacation periods when taking part in a school sponsored or parent approved trip with the exception that practice may be necessary during Labor Day weekend prior to the first football game to meet state practice requirements for football. Participants will be required to attend those sessions. A participant going on a school sponsored or parent approved trip during a vacation period in season shall notify his or her coach of the trip prior to leaving.

FAILURE TO COMPLY:  Failure to attend regularly scheduled practice sessions or contests without an excused absence will lead to disciplinary action as outlined within the supplemental team rules distributed by the coach.
