Overall Athlete Expectations

To ensure a safe and successful season, all student-athletes must follow these guidelines:

  • Students may not attend open gyms or tryouts if they have a "D" or below in any current class.

  • Respect all facilities - leave them better than you found them.

  • Zero tolerance for horseplay during open gyms and tryouts; violation = ineligibility.

  • Disciplinary Eligibility: Any ISS/OSS suspension dating back to October 1st makes a student ineligible for winter sports. Students may submit an appeal form only in suspension cases (not for grades).

 

We look forward to an exciting season ahead and can't wait to see our Lab student-athletes shine this winter!

 

Go Lab Lions!
