FRIDLEY TIGER ATHLETIC HANDBOOK
2012-2013 
www.fridley.k12.mn.us “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied ourselves to the task at hand” –Vince Lombard Welcome to the Fridley High School Athletic Program The Fridley High School Athletic Program is an important component of District #14’s Activities Department. On behalf of the entire coaching staff, we wish you the best in your athletic experience. Each student at Fridley High School and Fridley Middle School is given the opportunity, if eligible, to try out for any team, line, or squad. We hope your experience in athletics is rewarding and gratifying. The purpose of this booklet is to give you the information on the athletic policies and procedures followed in all of our programs. Please read the entire booklet and direct any questions to your coach. We believe participation in athletics is an integral part of the educational process. It is a great way for you to become more involved and connect with classmates. Athletics go hand in hand with academics. Together they provide you with an opportunity to excel individually, to be part of a group, to gain real life lessons about the importance of teamwork, responsibility, commitment, and hard work. Our philosophy is to encourage the emotional, physical, and intellectual development of each student. Fridley High School maintains a comprehensive program of student activities. Student participation in a variety of activities is encouraged.

Your student has indicated a desire to participate in interscholastic athletics and you have expressed your willingness to permit him/her to compete. We believe that participation in sports provides a wealth of opportunities and experiences that promote personal growth. We are concerned with the educational development of our male and female athletes and believe that a well-organized and properly controlled athletic program can meet student needs for self-expression, social, emotional, and physical growth. It is our hope to maintain a program that is sound in purpose and will further each student’s educational maturity. Participation in high school athletics requires students to discipline their minds and bodies for rigorous competition. We strive for excellence and want our athletes to make a commitment to excellence. High school athletics comes and goes quickly, but the impact they have on you and your student is everlasting. We hope we can form a partnership that will help our athletes attain their individual and team goals. SPECIAL NOTE TO THE PARTICIPANTSGood luck and best wishes for a successful athletic career at FHS. Being a member of a Fridley High School athletic team is the fulfillment of an early ambition for many students. A strong athletic tradition is not built overnight, but takes the hard work of many people over many years. When you wear black and gold, we expect you to be willing to assume the responsibilities that go along with them. We challenge you to continue the hard work and improve on the traditions of FHS. The contributions you make should be a satisfying accomplishment to you.
“Consider for a moment what we achieve from activities ...the sheer fun of playing, the building of a healthy and alert mind, stamina, courage, unselfishness & most importantly, perhaps – the will to win.” Robert Kennedy

If you have questions regarding payment of fees please contact Activities Director, Dan Roff at 763-502-5605 or Activities Assistant, Sue Hanson at 763-502-5605.

Refunds: Requests for a refund of the participation fee can be made if a student decides to terminate their participation in a sport prior to their first competition.

The F/R Minimum Fee is $20.00 for High School Athletics and $15.00 for Middle School Athletics.CLEARANCE CARDSAfter all forms, physical information, and fees are turned into the activities office, the athlete will be issued a clearance card which should be given to the coach. Athletes are not allowed to begin a season until they have been issued this clearance card. ELIGIBILITYThe MSHSL form is a promise to yourself, your teammates, your coaches, your school and your parents that you will abide by the rules. Your signature tells us that you agree. Please read the form carefully with your parents. Use of alcohol, tobacco, and mood altering chemicals are covered by the MSHSL eligibility form. Rules about conduct, harassment, and participation during the season and off-season are also covered by the form. The MSHSL allows member schools to make their penalties stricter than the League’s. At Fridley High School, the following changes have been made and adopted by the school board: First offense – The participant will be ineligible for one fourth (25%) of the regularly scheduled contests in the season of the violation. (Minimum length of the ineligibility will be two weeks). If the violation occurs when the athlete is not in a sport, the ineligibility will be imposed during the next season that the athlete is involved in. If the penalty cannot be fully served in one season, it will carry over to the next season that the athlete participates in. It is a Fridley High School Policy that if an athlete is to serve their penalty, they must be involved in a sport from the first day of practice until the end of the season. Second offense – The participant will be ineligible for three fourths (75%) of the regularly scheduled contests in the season affected by the violation. Third offense – The participant will lose eligibility for one calendar year. Additionally, offenses in violation of this policy are cumulative.
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT STATEMENT REGARDING CHEMICAL USE AND ABUSEWe believe it is extremely important that the school and family work together to promote healthy life styles.
