Athletics

R. Roger Rowe School has a long-standing history of a strong athletics program that I am proud to be a part of. Any student in grades 6-8 that is interested in participating in athletics is encouraged to do so. Each year we offer a variety of individual and team sports. All student-athletes are expected to dedicate themselves to the pursuit of individual athletic excellence while maintaining good standing in both academic and behavioral policies. In addition to developing students’ athletic skills, coaches will focus on instilling the district’s core values and strong character.

ISPE

Independent Study Physical Education is an alternative opportunity to receive P.E. credit. Students work independently in an organized physical program under the supervision of an instructor/coach and monitored by the ISPE Coordinator. Examples include club sports, martial arts, and equestrian. Upon approval, students must complete a written agreement, available at the school office, and document their progress throughout each trimester. Credit for I.S.P.E is based on the time and value of the student’s work product, as determined by the ISPE Coordinator.

   • Showing respect for self, opponents, officials, coaches, teammates, and spectators
   • Showing respect for the rules of the contest and judgment of the game
   • Exercising self-­control at all times
   • Refraining from the use of foul and/or abusive language at all times
   • Winning with character; losing with dignity and humility

1. Rancho Santa Fe students/athletes are expected to successfully manage their academic and social responsibilities.  Players will maintain good academic standing with a minimum 2.5 Grade Point Average and a minimum grade of “S” in citizenship. The Athletic Director will notify students and parents of the student’s ineligibility status.

1. Players will display good character in class, on the playground, and at practices and games. Players may be removed from practice and/or games due to improper conduct as determined by coaches, teachers, and/or administrators.

1. In order to participate in practices and games, players must be at school for the majority of the school day. Absences must be reported to the Athletic Director before noon on game days. Coaches will use their discretion to determine playing time concerning said absences.

1. Student-­‐athletes are expected to participate in all practices and attend all games unless sick or injured. Please take your child’s after-­‐school schedule into account when signing up for an RSF Athletic team. Please contact the Athletic Director via email if your child will be missing practice or a game.

1. Student-­athletes may participate in one school sport per trimester

1. Players will be equipped and wear appropriate attire while attending practices and games, or they will not be allowed to participate that day. Required attire includes school-appropriate shorts, shirts, and shoes. Gameday attire includes Rancho Santa Fe team uniform, appropriate footwear, and any other items deemed necessary by the coach.

1. Players should discuss any issues or concerns with their coach after practices and games prior to parental involvement.  If necessary, parents and players will meet jointly with a coach to resolve problems during a scheduled appointment. If a situation is not resolved with the coach, then parents may meet with the Athletic Director and the Assistant Principal.

Players, parents, and coaches are expected to uphold the Rancho Santa Fe School District’s Athletic Code of Conduct. In the event that an athlete breaks the Athletic Code of Conduct, disciplinary action will be taken. Consequences may include loss of playing time, suspension from practice and/or games, and dismissal from the team. Parents who are not conducting themselves in an appropriate manner may be asked to leave or not to attend practices and/or games.
