Deadline for Joining Teams

A. The normal deadline for joining a sport will be the first official practice day allowed by NMAA. Discretion is allowed to Head Coaches for athletes joining a team late. Students who miss the deadline because of a suspension or any disciplinary issues must get approval by the AD and Principal.

B. Athletes moving from one sport season directly to another will be allowed up to five (5) school days off between sports at their discretion. Athletes moving from one sport to another will be allowed the opportunity to tryout and will be afforded a tryout opportunity equal to other participants prior to the coach making final team makeup decisions.

C. Athletes quitting a sport or being dropped for disciplinary reasons may not begin another sports program until the end of the season or after being released by the Head Coach.

D. All students are required to practice the appropriate number of days in advance of participation in a contest/game/match/event. (Please see NMAA handbook.)
