School Sports Policy
Effective January 15, 2019
Our Lady of Mount Carmel School provides opportunities for students to participate in athletic activities throughout the school year. The school offers soccer, basketball, and volleyball teams at the Varsity and JV levels. Coaches are volunteers and school staff and facilities for practices and games are provided both on the property of Mother of Mercy Parish and also off site.
Student athletes are expected to behave in a manner representative of OLMC students and the school’s mission statement. Good sportsmanship and kindness are of the utmost importance.
All athletes are required to have a current physical examination form and all other medical documentation on file prior to the first practice. Any student who does not have current paperwork on file will be excluded from participation until the paperwork is updated.
No siblings under the age of 12 may attend practice, wait in the gym, or be unsupervised during sporting events.
Coaches should not invite players to the Mother of Mercy property unless the players will be supervised.
Coaches must come to the after school program or may make arrangements in writing with the administration for the dismissal of students to practice. Students may not walk across the parking lot unsupervised.
Parents are strongly encouraged to play an active role in the communication with the coach.
Parents are encouraged to attend all games and demonstrate good sportsmanship and Christian values.
