DO NOT be tardy to any class.
6. All player MUST warm-up together as a team.

cocaine, cigarettes, or any other drugs at any time will be subject
to severe disciplinary action and immediate dismissal from the team.
Also, all the school's disciplinary actions will be applied to

requirements to retain team membership. All report cards must be
shown to the coaches. Any problems with a class, please discuss them
with your coach and the teacher.

20. To prevent illness, eat properly: give up junk food, give up
desserts if you need to lose weight (eat breakfast); do your homework
when it is assigned and DO NOT wait until it is due when you will
stay up till 3 AM doing it. It is suggested that you be off the
street and at home by 10 PM, Sun. through Thurs. and 12 midnight,
Fri, and Sat. Get 6-8 hours of sleep every night. For every 2 hours
of sleep you lose every night, your immune system is cut by 50% and
you will catch whatever is floating around at school.
21. Remember, you are here at school to get an education. Your
studies come first, show this to us in your grades. Teachers are
human beings, too. Ask them for help politely, treat them nicely, and
they will help you (they might even like you.)
22. In order to receive a letter and earn an A in AAPE, you must
complete the entire season in good standing. If you are removed from
the team, you will not receive a letter, and your grade will reflect
your attitude.
23. You may be sent to Varsity or JV at any time. However, NO SENIOR
may play on the JV team.
24. Set a good example 100% of the time.
25. All of the above rules and regulations must be observed and
maintained by every player and manager on the team and are subject to
revision and amendment by the coaching staff, as deemed necessary for
the interest of the team.
26. You are not assistant coaches and we do not wish to hear who you
think should be playing positions other than yours. You are NOT to
bad-mouth any players, coaches, drills, workouts, on or off the
field. This means either to their face or behind their back. Our
program is the best in Arizona and we expect all players and managers
to be proud at all times. If you show respect towards the players,
they will show respect towards you. If you have any problems or
suggestions, please see the head coach.
27. Only players, not parents, may talk to the coach about more
playing time.
28. Check your stats after every game, and please question anything
you might disagree with. We make lots of mistakes when training
others to keep score.
29. The statistics are for your benefit and you may ask about any
errors that you may find in them. They are not for your parents to
approach the coach on any errors they may think are in your stats
from a certain game. This is the players responsibility only.
30. If you become ineligible, you will have until noon of game day to
get yourself eligible and in the computer or you will not play on
that day.
