What we will Teach:

– Discipline– Toughness (Physical and Mental)– Accountability– FUN!

– “The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.”Vince Lombardi


What WE need from parents1. Allow your student-athletes to PLAY the

GAME. 2. Allow your student-athletes to be coached.3. Be supportive of them and the program.4. Be honest and upfront, we will always do

the same in return.5. HELP the Quarterback Club.


Team Rules/Expectations: The following will serve as the basic rules for the Elk River Football Program. These rules

are in addition to the Elk River School District policies and the Minnesota State High School League.

We expect players to be on time and in the uniform of the day. (Full Pads/Shorts and Shells/Athletic Shoes, etc.)

Student-athletes are required to attend practice. If they are in school they should attend practice even if they are physically unable to participate. They should be there to get mental reps so they do not fall behind. 3 unexcused absences will result in removal from the teamAbsences can only be excused by your Head Coach Be on Time for Practice Being late for practice will result in work detail after practice unless it is excused by the

coach. Any absences (excused or unexcused) in a game week will result in reduction of playing

time. Two absences in a game week means the student-athlete will not play that week Tardiness from practice will result in appropriate opportunities. Players are expected to know all the information in the players handbook and the MSHSL

rules.


Requirements for Participation: • All students must meet the eligibility requirements as established by the Minnesota

State High School League; • Place the highest ideals of competition and education above winning and losing;

• Abstain from the use of tobacco, alcohol, and illegal or performance enhancing drugs;

• Promote and support the entire interscholastic program of the school;

• Present an attitude of sportsmanship and good will in all circumstances;

• Be well groomed and appropriately dressed at all times;

• Avoid the use of profanity at all times;

• Be respectful to all adults and competitors at all times.


ATHLETIC INFORMATION • Elk River Football follows standards and rules established by both the Elk River School System and the

Minnesota State High School League. Any student wishing to represent Elk River Football must meet eligibility requirements as defined by these organizations and ERHS.

• The following regulations apply to all ERHS students in grades 9-12 who participate in extracurricular activities.

• 1. In order to participate in extracurricular activities a student must have a 2.0 or be on track for graduation.

• 2. A student must be present in school at least half of the school day (3 periods) to be eligible to participate in an activity/sport for that day. It is expected that student-athletes will be present the entire school day.

• 3. Students who are suspended ISS or OSS may not participate in any school activity, including

practice, until the suspension ends.


ATHLETIC INFORMATION (continued)

• 4. All students must have an up-to-date completed physical form on file BEFORE they can practice or tryout for a team. All physicals are good for three years from the date the physical was conducted.

• 5. All eligibility requirements established by the MSHSL (Minnesota State High School League) must be met and maintained.

• 6. In order to earn an award, a student must remain on the squad (in the activity he/she is participating) until the entire schedule has been completed and/or until he/she has been released by the coach.

• 7. All students must obey training rules at all times, especially the general rules of the non-use of alcohol, tobacco, and unauthorized drugs, as well as all local, state, and federal laws.


ATHLETIC INFORMATION (continued) • 8. All students must return all equipment issued or pay for the replacement of any item not• returned. • 9. Any student who quits a sport cannot tryout for another sport until that sport has

completed its season.

• 10. Non-school teams (i.e., AAU, Club teams) do not take precedence over a ERHS team that is in-season, including games and practices. Elk River’s coaches will work with the player as much as possible but there is no guarantee. Elk River’s teams MUST take priority.

• 11. All student-athletes are encouraged to participate in one, two, or three seasons as they choose. Student-athletes, who are finishing one season while tryouts are in progress for another season, will have an opportunity for a delayed tryout.


ATHLETIC INFORMATION (continued)

•12. Student-athletes are expected at all times to represent Elk River Football with dignity, sportsmanship, and class. Severe exhibitions of poor sportsmanship will result in a period of suspension as determined by the Head Coach and/or the Athletic Director. •13. Student-athletes are expected to treat our facilities, including equipment, with care and respect. Student-athletes will be expected to pay for any damage to our facilities and/or equipment. •14. Elk River Football has a “zero-tolerance” for all hazing activities. Hazing will not be tolerated in any program regardless of the person’s willingness to participate.

•15. Lettering Policy: All student-athletes that make it through a Varsity football season in good standing will receive a letter. Any Sophomores or Freshmen that wish to obtain a varsity letter will have to appear in at least 3 regular season Varsity games and have made the 80% commitment number over the summer. Also at coaches discretion


TOBACCO, ALCOHOL, AND CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES • FIRST VIOLATION• The student-athlete will be suspended from the next two contests or two weeks, whichever is greater.• The student-athlete will also face discretionary punishment by the coach to include but not limited to

extra running, work detail, community service, etc.

• SECOND VIOLATION• The student-athlete will be suspended from the next six contests or three weeks, whichever is greater. • Discretionary punishment by the coach to include but not limited to extra running, work detail, community service, etc.

• THIRD VIOLATION• The student-athlete will be suspended for the next twelve contests or four weeks, whichever is

greater.• Discretionary punishment by the coach to include but not limited to extra running, work detail, community service, etc. • NOTE: If a student-athlete is found in violation of any of the rules published in the “Athletic Code of

Ethics” the consequences will go into effect for the next scheduled game(s). If the violation occurs in the “off-season,” the consequences will go into effect at the beginning of the season.


CONDUCT, CHARACTER, DISCIPLINE

• The Head Coach, Activities Director, and/or the Principal may suspend a student for a period of time for other incidents, including “community misconduct” that have a detrimental effect upon the athletic program at Elk River High School.

• 1. The arrest and/or conviction of a felony, or any misdemeanor which is derogatory to the proper conduct of an athlete will result in suspension from that activity until a complete investigation has been conducted. The investigation will be conducted by the head coach, activities director, and/or school resource officer.

• 2. A player arrested, under investigation, on probation, etc. can be suspended from competition until cleared by the administration. This will be based on charges and/or conviction (excluding minor traffic violations)


APPLICATION OF THE ATHLETIC CODE OF CONDUCTThe following rules apply:• In season and out of season.• On the school grounds at any time.• Off the school grounds.• In effect for one calendar year from the date of the offense.• During the time of suspension, the student-athlete is not allowed to dress out but can be

with team.• During the time of suspension, the student-athlete is allowed to continue to practice with the

team.• In cases of severe violations, the student-athlete may be dismissed from the team and the

athletic program. This decision will be made by the Activities Director and Head Coach.• There has to be proof and/or admittance of a violation. “Hear-say” information is not enough

evidence to find a student-athlete guilty of violating the Code of Ethics.


Detention/ISS/OSS– Any student-athlete that receives ISS or OSS will not be able to practice on those days,

therefore they will have either a reduction of playing time or will not be allowed to play depending on the length of the suspension. In addition, they will have work detail for the rest of the season and make up practices.

– If a student-athlete receives detention they will have work detail for the rest of the season, and will also be subject to extra conditioning and or reduced playing time.

• Any missed practices (excused or unexcused) will result in the student athlete doing make up training following practices. It is designed to make sure they are getting the same work as the student-athletes that were at practice. The make-up usually lasts about 20 minutes after practice.

• Theft:• Any student-athlete caught stealing (not hear-say) from the team or their

teammates will be removed from the program. We are the Elk River Football Family. If we can’t trust each other we will never be successful.

• Any conduct that is considered detrimental to the program can and will be dealt with on a case by case basis by the head coach, and could result in removal from the team.
