II. GUIDELINES, REGULATIONS, AND REQUIREMENTS HANDBOOK

The NPHS Athletic Handbook has been developed for the purpose of guiding and controlling the interscholastic activities program in such a manner that maximum benefits may accrue to the students and participants in the program.

The rules and regulations which are part of this handbook are specifically designed to encourage the greatest possible number of students to take part in the program, to protect the health of students who participate, to insure equality of competition by team or individuals representing the North Platte Public Schools, to provide as wide a variety of activities as possible, to promote good sportsmanship, and in short, to help make the games and contests of the program a desirable and enriching experience to the students.
