INTRODUCTION TO THE ACADEMY OF SAINT ELIZABETH ATHLETICS:

The Academy of Saint Elizabeth’s Department of Athletics cordially invites all students to participate in the school's interscholastic athletic programs

This handbook provides information on the policies, regulations, and rules of AOSE Athletics, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA), the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC), the Morris County Secondary Schools' Athletic Directors' Association (MCSSADA), the North Jersey Interscholastic Girls' Lacrosse League (NJIGLL), and the New Jersey Independent Schools' Athletic Association (NJISAA).

AOSE's Athletic Department is dedicated to student-athlete educational development and believes that a properly controlled, well-organized sports program will meet the needs for individual self-expression, mental alertness, and physical growth.

Every student-athlete will learn the importance of goal-setting, sportsmanship, citizenship, and self-sufficiency. Our goal is to develop student-athletes' understanding of the importance of self-discipline and hard work in order to achieve success.

Student-athletes for the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman teams are selected based on their demonstrated abilities. Our athletic programs are intended to serve as many student-athletes as possible. Unfortunately, due to various constraints, "cutting" student-athletes from certain programs may become necessary.

The athletic program at the Academy of Saint Elizabeth is very important to the school. I cordially invite you to become a member of our athletic community Please keep in mind that every student-athlete serves as a role model for others and is expected to lead by example Student-athletes should understand that participation in AOSE athletics is a privilege, not a right
