b. Three practices per week for not more than one and one half hours each practice.

c. Four practices per week for not more than one hour each practice.

Total practice time for one week cannot exceed four and one-half hours.

Coach, please list the time that you would like your practices to begin and end, as well as where you are practicing.

Coaches should contact the school to let them know about any change in their practice schedule, especially if it involves a time change or cancellation.

Coaches are not to leave their players unsupervised, whether it is in the gym or in the school before or after practice or games. When practices are over, coaches are not to leave until all players have been released to a parent, guardian, or other school program. Elementary students may go to the After the Bell Rings Program only if they are enrolled in that program. If a child is going to an after-school program, the coach should be sure the supervisor of the program is there to accept the child.

Coaches should not assume that school staff would supervise their players.

DO NOT LEAVE A CHILD UNATTENDED!

Practices are not to begin until the Community Education Department has received approval of the use of the facility as requested on the practice schedule.

I understand the Practice Policy for the Youth Sports Program, and will abide by it.
