ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY

Athletics plays an important part in the life of Pioneer Charter School of Science. Young people learn a great deal from participation in interscholastic athletics. Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, competition and how to win with class and lose with dignity are integral parts of our athletic program. Athletic participation plays an important part in helping students develop a healthy self-concept as well as a healthy body. Athletic competition also improves school spirit and helps students develop pride in their school.

ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION

Student and parents should recognize that participation in the athletic program is not a right of all students, but rather a privilege to those selected individuals who possess the ability, attitude, disposition, cooperative spirit, and desire to represent PCSS in a favorable manner.

As with all school privileges, it is important to remember that the school reserves the right to revoke the privilege of any participant who does not conduct himself/herself in an acceptable manner.

To participate in athletics a student-athlete must meet the following requirements:

1. Attain a grade of C- or better in all of their core classes during the last marking period preceding the contest.
2. Have no more than 20 discipline points on their record.
3. Physical Examination - A physical exam must be performed within 12 months of the season start date.
4. Complete the Acknowledgement of Athletic Policies Form
5. Complete the Emergency Medical Form
6. Write a check for the Athletics User Fees

For more information on this process, please contact Phil Signoroni.
