Physicals
It is the policy of BFA to require
a physical examination every two years for students engaged in
interscholastic athletics. These physicals are at the expense of
each individual. The Athletic Director has an available
recommended form or an appropriate substituted doctor's form/proof is
acceptable.
Insurance
All candidates are required to
furnish proof of accident/health insurance before participating in any
tryouts, practice sessions, or athletic contests. BFA does not
purchase insurance for its athletes. Each year the school district
does make available a school-time insurance program at a nominal fee to
all students enrolled at BFA.
Form/Contract
The activity permission form and
participation contract must be completed and signed by the candidate and
his/her parents or guardians prior to eligibility for practice and/or
play. Separate forms must be completed for each activity in which
the athlete is a candidate.
Tryouts
In some activities it may be
necessary to reduce the number of participants to a manageable size,
particularly when considering safety, fiscal resources, equipment,
facilities, and coaching personnel.
It will be the responsibility of the coach/advisor to make decisions
concerning what the final number of participants in an activity
will be. The decisions reached will be consistent with goals and
objectives of the specific program.
Harassment/Initiation Program
Harassment is any unwelcome conduct
directed at a student's disability, gender, marital or parental status,
national origin, race, religion, grade, or sexual orientation with the
purpose or effect of interfering with an individual's performance or
creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive educational environment.
It is BFA's belief that harassment disrupts this educational
environment, infringes upon student rights and therefore is strictly
prohibited.
Any student found to have engaged in such harassment will be in
violation of this expectation and shall be subject to appropriate
discipline, up to and including dismissal or expulsion if warranted.
Any student who believes he or she has been subjected to harassment is
entitled to an internal grievance procedure and may pursue remedies
provided by Federal and State law.
Hazing
BFA has zero tolerance for hazing
and the consequences can be severe. Participation in any activity
which recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of a person, or
which violates the dignity of another person may lead to individual
disciplinary action, team disciplinary action, and/or termination from
the team.
