Kellam Swimming and Diving WorkNotes Policies & Expectations

	Policies & Expectations
	Floyd E. Kellam High School Swimming and Diving Team Policies and Expectations Practice attendance policy Athletes are invited and expected to attend all scheduled practice times. Attendance at practice directly relates to swimming in a meet. Swimmers who fail to come to three practices without prior approval will be removed from the roster. Please note: We have a number of swimmers who swim on club teams year round. These swimmers are required to come to practice at least one time per week, in addition to participating in meets. I am very firm about this rule. Please see me if you have questions. Practice Schedule We are fortunate to be able to use the city recreation centers for practice and meets. We swim at both the Princess Anne Recreation Center and the Seatack Recreation Center. A monthly calendar is made available to each athlete, and the practice and meet schedules are posted on the team website: http://worknotes.com/VA/VirginiaBeach/KellamSwimming/ Every Monday, Athletes will receive a Fridge Sheet that details the week¡¦s activities. The Fridge Sheet provides communication between the coach and athletes, as well as the coach and parents. The fridge sheet will also be posted on the website. Training Rules Bring a water bottle to practice each day. Follow all rules and regulations of the recreation centers. Follow guidelines for swimming etiquette Competition Participation Criteria Athletes who swim and dive in meets: Come to required practices Meet all VHSL (Virginia High School League) eligibility requirements Are students in good standing (VHSL rule 28-1-3 (2) Any student who is under penalty of suspension, or whose character or conduct is such as to reflect discredit upon his school, is not considered in good standing) Parental Involvement Parents are needed!
