Agreement Criteria

Rows
Yes
I accept that although Vex robotics clubs are not currently bound by the rules of the MSHSL regarding academics and behavior; those rules which govern Minnesota student athletics will also apply to members of the Southland VEX robotics teams.
I understand that there are requirements in the summer and will make every attempt to participate in at least one of the activities (practices required) considered part of the 2025-6 season:
Adams Dairy Days Parade.Dexter Sunflower Days demo
Rose Creek Days Parade.
I understand that this is an extra curricular activity, so grades come first. Qtr.4 grades from the previous year will affect eligibility to be on a team- as does the teacher reference for new students.
I understand that attendance at practice is mandatory unless a previous arrangement has been made with coaches-missed practices may lead to removal from team.
Behaviors that need to be redirected multiple times in a practice will result in possible suspension from the team.
I understand the coaches will make the final decisions about team roles.
I understand attendance at school is important, so I understand that if I have poor attendance, I may be removed from the team.
Summer practices (HS-if scheduled, unless discussed with coaches)
August camp (MS camp Aug. 11-15, approx. $200, M-F 8 am -4 pm) not mandatory, but highly recommended, partial or full scholarships available for low and reduced
