Participation on an athletic team is a privilege.  Athletes at Hibriten are expected to be role models in the classroom, hallways, athletic fields, and in the community.

 

Athletes should not have a history of excessive discipline referrals.  Repeated referrals will result in suspension or dismissal from the team.

 

Athletes are expected to maintain excellent working relations with teachers, administrators and staff.

 

Athletes are expected to attend all classes and meet NCHSAA attendance and academic standards.

 

Athletes are expected to participate in off-season team activities if not playing another sport for Hibriten.

 

If an athlete quits a team during the season without the coach’s permission he/she has quit that team for the remainder of their eligibility at Hibriten, unless extreme extenuating circumstances exist. Players that quit a team may not participate on another team during the same sports season and may not attend off-season workouts for any other sport.

 

Athletes with outstanding felony or other serious criminal charges will not be allowed to participate in games or practice.  Additionally, behavior that results in charges being filed by law enforcement or that reflects poorly on Hibriten High School will result in suspension or dismissal from the team, unless extreme extenuating circumstances exist.

 

Athletes should refrain from the use or possession of drugs or alcohol.  Failure to refrain from the use of drugs and alcohol will result in suspension or dismissal from the team.  The use of drugs or alcohol that involves charges by law enforcement or suspensions by school officials will be treated as a positive drug test.

Athletic Insurance

All athletes are covered by a blanket insurance policy.  This coverage is a secondary policy.  The parent’s insurance policy must be filed prior to the athletic insurance.  Please note the athletic coverage will pay only a percentage of the remaining balance.

It is recommended that all athletes purchase the “bronze” economy plan in addition to the blanket coverage.  The cost of this policy is $11.00 (subject to change).  With the purchase your child then has a primary coverage, secondary coverage (athletic blanket policy) and your personal insurance. 

The purchase of the above plan does not cover varsity football injuries.

Athletic Booster Club

The purpose of this club is to support Hibriten athletics.  Some major projects include operating concessions at the athletic events and the $100 fund-raising dinner in the spring.  All parents of athletes are invited to join.  Contact Jamie Lewis or Beth Reeves for more information.

to be eligible to participate in Hibriten sports, each studentmust agree to submit him or herself to random drug testing throughout the school year during which they are consideredto be an athlete.    (See Random Drug Testing Policy, page 30)  Students may not participate in athletic activities (including practices) without filing a completed physical exam form ora physician’s waiver form with the school Athletic Director.  School insurance is required before a student can try out for any sport.
