Athletics Permission Form
	The purpose of our athletic programs is to teach every athlete how to play their chosen sport to the best of their ability. We will also teach about teamwork, discipline, and commitment. In our athletic programs there is a no-cut policy, which means that every player that signs up is on the team.  The Athletics Program for boys and girls in the 5th-8th grades includes: The Boys and Girls Running Program 1. Morning Running Club (All School Year) 2. Cross Country (August - October) 3. Track (February - May) After School Athletic Program 1. Fall Season (August - November) Boys Flag Football Girls Volleyball 2. Winter Athletics (November - March) Boys Basketball Girls Basketball. 3. Spring Athletics (March - May) Boys Volleyball Girls Softball  The Running Program practices on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The workout is usually a run to Saratoga High School, a workout on the track or field, and then a run back to Saint Andrew's. They leave at exactly 7:00 am. Students should be in the gym ready to go between 6:45 and 6:55am. There is no fee to be apart of the Saint Andrew's Running Program. The After School Athletic Program operates Monday through Friday, and sometimes during the weekend for tournaments. We try to give each team one day off per week. Some weeks it could be two or three days off, depending on the game schedule. Practices and games are after school with various start times. The fee for the After School Athletic Program is $250.00 per season. This works out to about $4.00 - $5.00 per hour. This fee helps to cover the costs for coaches, referees, sports equipment, league and tournament fees. There is a separate cost for team uniforms. The fee for the uniform will be between $55.00 to $140.00 depending on the sport. You will keep the uniform, so consider buying it large enough to use for at least two seasons. The number of teams that are fielded in each sport is based on the number of students that sign up per class. If a class has a large number of participants and enough for two teams, we will follow the league rules and split them into two evenly skilled teams. At the 5th and 6th grade levels, players are learning about the game and individual skills. At the 7th and 8th grade level, players work on teamwork and how to compete both individually and as a team. Every player at every grade level will be given some playing time each game. See the athletic handbook for more details about playing time.  Regulations: Please read the guidelines for school and after school sports as stated in the Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School handbook prior to completing the Permission Form below.   All athletes and parents must agree to adhere to the stated rules to be part of the team. As detailed as these regulations and policies are, it is impossible to predict all possible scenarios and situations, by agreeing to be part of the Saint Andrew's after school athletics program, athletes agree to abide by these rules and any other rules that may be appropriate.    Please note:  Practice is an essential part of the team experience.  Missing practice could affect the amount of playing time they receive in the games.  If you are aware of a recurring conflict with the practice schedule, please note that below.   If you have any questions about the Athletic Programs please contact Mr. Bullard at dbullard@st-andrews.org
