Drug, Vape, and Smoking Policy
Coach Jeff Jett has initiated a 0 tolerance policy for bringing ANY type of non-prescribed drugs, ANY type of vaping device and/or ANY cigarettes onto the field by any player. If ANY of the above listed items or devices are discovered on a player or in his possession, including a players gear bag, it constitutes a violation of the 0 tolerance policy. ANY violation of this policy will result in the following:
1. First offense will result in the immediate suspension of the player from the team for 7 days. Return to the team will only occur after a player and parent meeting with Coach Jeff.
2. Second offense will result in the immediate suspension of the player from the team for 14 days. Return to the team will only occur after the player has submitted to a home or clinic drug test administered by the parents or doctor and the parents have sent a letter to Coach Jeff that the player has passed the test (tested negative.) Test will include marijuana, nicotine, and alcohol. Cost of test to be paid for by player or parent.
3. Third offense will result in the immediate suspension of the player for the remainder of the school year. Player will only be allowed to return to play the next year after completing a drug test administered in a clinic/doctor’s office within 5 days of a player meeting with Coach Jeff, followed by a parent/player meeting with the A/C Lacrosse Board.
4. Offenses do not restart with the changing of the seasons or school year. ANY 4th offense or violation of this policy will result in the permanent removal of the player from the team. That player will no longer be eligible to play for any A/C Lacrosse team.

Refusal to submit to a wand test or stay with A/C staff until a parent arrives is a violation of this policy.
As a player for the A/C Lacrosse Association, I have read and understand the above Drug, Vape, and Smoking Policies. I understand that as a player of the A/C Lacrosse team I am choosing to endeavor in an athletic activity and as such violating the above policy would be counterproductive, unhealthy and would embarrass the A/C Lacrosse teams. I understand that Coach Jeff or other members of the A/C Lacrosse staff may search my personal possessions that I choose to bring to the field, to any game and/or lacrosse activity. That staff of the A/C Lacrosse Association may ask me to empty my pockets or even use a metal detector to wand my person. I have read, understand and agree to the above penalties as a condition to be a player of an A/C Lacrosse team.
As a parent/guardian of a player for the A/C Lacrosse teams, I have read and understand the above Drug, Vape, and Smoking Policies.

I hereby give my permission for Coach Jeff or other members of the A/C Lacrosse staff to search my child’s personal belongings that he or she chooses to the lacrosse field, any game or lacrosse activity. The A/C Lacrosse staff has my permission to ask my child to empty his pockets, use a metal detector to wand my child for metal (will detect vaping devices hidden in clothing) and/or search any bags/possessions my child brings to the lacrosse field, any lacrosse game and/or activity. I understand that if unexplained metal is detected on my child and my child refuses to verify/show the source of the detection that I will be call and will come quickly to the field to determine for myself (and explain to the A/C staff) what the source of the metal was. I have read, understand and agree to the above penalties as a condition of my child participating on an A/C Lacrosse team.
