Practice and Game Absences

Practice & Game Absences:
Pound has a one unexcused absence policy.  A note or message left in the office for coaches is required for all practice/game absences.   After one unexcused absence, the next unexcused absence will result in the athlete being removed from the team for the remainder of the season.  Of course school comes first.  If teachers request athletes stay after school, that is a priority over any practice.  Students must get a pass from the teacher to avoid an unexcused absence.  Also, participating in other after school activities is encouraged.  Practices missed due to attending these events will also require a teacher pass or note.  Athletes that miss practices may have their game time reduced.  This decision is on a case-by-case basis determined by the coaches.
