Athletics

The athletics program strives to teach values that help build character, self-discipline, determination, commitment and cooperation between teammates to achieve a common goal. The athletic program is held in conformity with the general objectives of ISPR, and functions as an extension of the overall educational experience. Our goal is to create the opportunity for student athletes to develop and improve their athletic abilities.

Students will be required to purchase uniforms for the 2010-2011 school year. Athletes will be able to keep the uniforms at the end of the season.

The following sports are offered:

• Flag football, girls volleyball, cross country, soccer (spring semester)

The following forms are required for participation:

• Physical Forms: Physicals must be performed by a license physician and must be completed by the 1^st practice annually.

• Consent and Release: To be signed by parent and student annually

Student athletes are expected to attend all practices and games. Student athletes are expected to be in attendance at school on all practice and game days. Their attendance record at school is expected to be exemplary, as they are an example to other students. Student athletes are required to be in school at least 4 hours to participate that day. If attendance becomes an issue, dismissal from the team is possible.

Athletic eligibility is impacted by student attendance, conduct and academic performance. The goal of the Athletic Department at Imagine School at Palmer Ranch is to add to the development of the whole child by providing a competitive, ethical, and enjoyable experience in athletics. Accomplishing this task incorporates hard work on the field as well as in the classroom. Our goal in the athletic department is to nurture and develop the entire student athlete.

Players are expected to represent their team and ISPR in a respectful manner at all times; accept interpretations made by officials with dignity, whether or not you agree; shake hands with opponents before and after games; and cheer for our team, not against your opponent. All school rules apply at all athletic events.

Spectators are expected to uphold high standards of good sportsmanship at all ISPR sporting events. As fans, you are expected to follow the same conduct rules as our student athletes. ISPR faculty, coaches and officials reserve the right to remove adults exhibiting disrespectful or inappropriate behavior from the event.
