1. Parent/Coach/Official conduct and ramifications policy

1. Parents are to abide by the 24 hour rule when wishing to
   communicate with coaches about any frustrations or concerns
   they have that involve their students' experience. This rule
   communicates that no face to face conversation, email, or text
   should be sent to a coach within 24 hours of a concluded game or
   practice where a point of contention could arise. The only
   exception to this rule is when it pertains to student safety in
   which parents are advised to reach out to Coach Thorpe
   immediately.
2. We desire to be “uncommon” in our approach to how we conduct
   ourselves as players, fans, coaches, or onlookers at all PVCP
   events, home or away. This includes how we conduct ourselves
   with referees or umpires. NO PVCP FAN IS TO EVER
   COMMUNICATE THEIR FRUSTRATION OR DISAGREEMENT WITH
   THE OFFICIALS AT OUR GAMES. Leave this job up to the Head
   Coach of your son or daughter's respected program.

2. Playing Time Policy

1. Middle School Policy- Middle School students MUST play in every
   game they are present. The amount of TIME they play will be
   determined by their attitude, effort, skill, and
   presence/attendance at practice on the days that precede a game
   or event. If students do not attend practices prior to games,
   playing time will not be guaranteed. This will come on a case by
   case basis which can be discussed between coaches and
   parents/players.
2. Upper School Policy- Upper School students are not promised any
   playing time at any point in the season. Though our coaches will
   always look to find ways to include and utilize each student
   athlete within their program, playing time at this level is to be
   EARNED and will be 100% based upon each program's Coaching
   Staff. Alongside playing time, positions, or what team students
   are on is not to be discussed with coaches at any point.
3. If the parent or guardian does not abide by the communication
   laid out for our playing time or parent/coaches/officials policies,
   they may be suspended for 2 weeks from all PVCP games, both
   home and away. A second offense will result in suspension from
   PVCP Athletic events for the remainder of the Academic School
   year.
4. If this policy agreement is not signed, no discussion will be
   allowed to take place between any other family member or fan
   and the Coaching Staff and Athletic Director. This is to protect our
   coaching staff from having conversations with student athletes'
   family members who have not signed this document and/or are
   unaware of our policy on conduct.

3. Grade Check Policy

1. Grade checks will take place every 3 weeks. If a student has under a 70% on
   the date of each grade check, they will be ineligible for the next 3 weeks.
   Utilizing our schools philosophy of “Love & Logic,” students can work through
   this problem by getting their grade up to a 70% or higher at any point within
   the 3 week ineligibility time frame. If grades are brought up within that
   timeline, students are to request that their teacher email Coach Thorpe with
   proof that their grade is now at the 70% mark. At which point Coach Thorpe
   will deem that student athlete immediately eligible.
2. While students are academically ineligible, they are expected to
   attend every after school HW help possible until their grade gets
   up.
3. T&F, XC, Wrestling, and Swim meets must be taken into
   consideration and have it be understood that coaches enter
   athletes into events days prior to an event or meet. This may
   impact eligibility for a student immediately participating at one
   of these events. Grade check dates can be found on the Athletic
   Calendar through the school website.

4. Transportation Policy

1. PVCP can not guarantee transportation for MS/US programs.
   With the growth of our school, and the addition of over 10 teams
   from 2020/2021-2023/2024, we no longer have the resources to
   guarantee transportation for multiple teams. Likewise, many of
   our coaches are off campus throughout the day which makes it
   difficult to establish a routine for them to get here and transport
   student athletes from one location to another.
2. Though there will be circumstances that will allow transportation
   with a school van or bus, playing for a PVCP athletics program
   must come with the understanding that parents may need to
   carpool to get students from campus to offsite
   game/match/event/practice locations.
3. If a bus or van is available with a driver, that will be
   communicated to parents by the coach of their son or daughters
   team prior to the day of a game/event/match.

5. Uniform Policy

1. Uniforms will be provided and handed out prior to the beginning
   of each team's season. An additional form will be provided at the
   time of uniform checkout that parents will be required to sign on
   behalf of their student athlete. At the bottom of the uniform
   policy document, there will be an amount listed of what a
   student's account will be charged if a uniform is lost upon the
   uniform return date at the end of the season.
2. With the growing numbers of students joining our programs,
   there may be times that uniforms or jerseys have to be
   mismatched to assure each student has a uniform. This is a way
   to keep us from having to cut student athletes from particular
   teams and keep us within CCSL or CAA code of conduct while
   waiting upon the arrival of new uniforms when deemed
   necessary.
