All members of a team will return from a contest by the same transportation provided for taking them to the contest.

If their parents take them or they drive themselves to the contest, then they cannot participate. If it is a school day, then the athlete must be in school that day from the beginning of the day until dismissal.

Arrangements must be made at least 24 hours in advance with the Activities Director.)

Attendance will be taken at all times when a member leaves the bus/mini-bus/mini/van. The coach/sponsor will give the list to the bus driver after attendance is taken before bus departure.
