PVCP Waiver of Liability: 

This agreement releases Paradise Valley Christian Preparatory from all liability relating to injuries or illnesses that may occur on our facilities. By signing this agreement electronically, I agree to hold Paradise Valley Christian Preparatory entirely free from any liability, including financial responsibility for any injuries/illnesses that may occur. I also acknowledge the risks involved in athletic participation. I affirm that my child is participating voluntarily and that all risks have been made known to me.

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 the Athletic Director
   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. In order to maintain eligibility, PVCP student-athletes must maintain a 2.0 grade point average. Grade checks will be conducted regularly by the Athletic Director, and student-athletes who do not meet the GPA criteria will be ineligible from participating in athletic competitions until they have successfully regained their academic eligibility by increasing their GPA to a 2.0 or higher. Student-athletes may continue to practice with athletic teams while they are in the process of regaining eligibility for competition. Coaches will be notified of any changes to a student-athlete's eligibility. Only the Athletic Director can deem a student-athlete to be eligible or ineligible. Questions regarding a student's eligibility should be directed towards the Athletic Director.
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. Transportation to Middle School competitions is the responsility of the parents and families of the student athlete. Transportation to Upper School competitions may be provided, but is not guaranteed.
2. Carpools may be used 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. Loss or damage of the uniform outside of the rigors of competition will require a fee paid in order to replace the damaged or lost uniform.
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.

6. Practice Policies

Upper School practices are all "closed practices" meaning parents are not to attend practices during allotted practice times unless coaches communicate it is an appropriate time to do so. Disregarding this rule may result in communication from the Athletic Director and further restrictions.

Middle School practices are "open practices" where parents are welcome to attend and watch as long as they do not intervene or interject at any point throughout practice sessions. Please give space for our coaches to coach! Disregarding this rule may result in communication from the Athletic Director and further restrictions.

7. Parent Volunteering

Parents of all student athletes will need to volunteer at times in order to make our seasons happen. Coaches will provide guidleines for volunteering at their preseason parent meetings or through other communication. 

8. Player Communication

If your child is to miss a practice for an excused reason, the player MUST communicate directly with the head coach of their team immediately. Missing practice may impact playing time pending the reason and timeframe for missing practices. Missing practices causes our coaches to have to alter practice plans and affects teammates ability to learn and grow. Please communicate.
