CHSPL Club Team Athlete Contract Form

Purpose

At the end of 2023, we had almost 600 Teen Lifters in California. As we do not have a High School Powerlifting association, it is not a sanctioned sport in Ca, it is very hard for High School Students to get clubs started at their schools. this team would help build a network and community so these athletes can have that team support.

Mission Statement
Work hard at being the best version of ourselves, be humble in our success and failure, represent California.

The California High School Powerlifting club is dedicated to promoting friendly, healthy competition of powerlifting for high school athletes who are not able to join a club at their schools. This club will be open to all who wish to join. It will be coach guided with opportunities for student leadership.

Athletes will be independent in their ability to plan their meets, but have the community to be able to compete as a team or connect with others across the state.

I agree to uphold the USA Powerlifting Code of Conduct and represent CHSPL with positive sportsmanship.I understand that the athletics department is committed to the philosophy that student-athletes are students first and foremost and that all student-athletes must exhibit behaviors that demonstrate a commitment to maximizing academic success as their first priority. I understand that the athletics department has created the following standards, strategies, and policies to maximize the possibility of student-athletes meeting their academic goals. I understand that I am obligated to comply with these standards:I understand that student-athletes are visible representatives of the institution both on campus and off-campus whose behaviors are often closely scrutinized by the media and general public. Student-athlete behavior affects public perception of institutional ethos, athletics department standards, and the character of the student body. Therefore, it is an expectation that student-athletes will demonstrate consistent role model behavior, sportsmanship and self-control.I understand that I must be registered in a High School to participate.I understand that if I fail a drug test, I will be released from the team immediately, and could be suspended or banned from USA Powerlifting.
