St. Andrew’s Schools 2017-2018 Athletic Information The Priory is a member of the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH), a league in which private schools, in grades 7-12, participate in sports at a competitive level. In order to provide playing opportunities for larger team sports, The Priory will sometimes join the Pac 5 organization. The Pac 5 program consists of 19 small schools that combine together to participate in sports that may otherwise not be offered. The Pac 5 program is run by it’s own Athletic Director who is essentially in charge of the coaches for those teams. All Pac 5 players must still adhere to all Priory athletic rules and regulations. Pac 5 clearance forms must be obtained from The Priory athletic office before any student can tryout for a Pac 5 team. In order for your daughter to try out for a Priory or Pac 5 team, she will need to have the school medical form (located on our website) filled out by a physician and an athletic permission form signed by a parent/guardian. To participate in a fall sport, forms will need to be mailed or turned in prior to the first day of tryouts. Please keep in mind that all fall sports will begin before school starts. An athlete will not be allowed to practice or try out for a team unless the completed forms are turned in. The Intermediate level is grades 7-9, JV level is 9-11, and Varsity is 9-12. Listed below are the sports offered for the 2017-2018 school year. Transportation will not be provided until school starts on August 21st . If you have any questions about The Priory athletics program, please contact the Athletics Director, Missy Kilbey at mkilbey@standrewsschools.org Current Priory student-athletes in grades 7-12 who are wanting to participate in volleyball, kayaking, paddling, basketball, soccer, wrestling, softball, water polo, sailing and judo, will be required to take a baseline concussion test. These tests will be offered once school begins in August. Any Priory students wishing to participate in a fall sport should contact the Athletic Director immediately to schedule a testing time.

Athletic Participation Checklist 1. Student Health Record

All student-athletes participating in St. Andrew’s athletics are required to have a current physical examination on file BEFORE participating in any athletic activity (including conditioning workouts). Physical examinations must be recorded on the St. Andrew’s Student Health Record (Form-14). Any other form will not be accepted. For athletics, the Student Health Record is valid for one calendar year from the date of the physical examination (e.g. If the physical was taken on January 1, 2015, the form is valid until January 1, 2016). If the student-athlete cannot obtain a new physical examination appointment by the time the previous physical examination expires, a parent/guardian must submit a Temporary Physical Form for the student athlete. This form allows student-athletes to practice and condition with the team before his/her next appointment. The temporary physical form does not allow clearance for student-athletes to participate in games or scrimmages.

2. Medical Insurance

All student-athletes are required to have current medical insurance coverage to be eligible to participate in athletic activities.

3. ImPACT Baseline Concussion Test & Consent Form

Athletic Rules and Regulations TEAM UNIFORM The school or Pac-5 will issue all uniforms, with the exception of paddling, swimming/diving, waterpolo, golf, sailing and tennis (t-shirt only). These sports will be required to purchase their uniforms from the team. All other school issued uniforms will be returned at the end of the season. The athlete is expected to pay for the uniform/equipment if it is not returned or is returned in poor condition. GAME DAYS On a school day on which you have a game, you may wear your team uniform, “department approved” team t-shirt or team warm-up to school. Team shirts/jackets and Priory sweatshirts may NOT be worn to school on CHAPEL DAYS. Hooded Priory athletic sweatshirts are NOT to be worn to chapel, but can be worn after chapel in classes. The Athletic Director must approve team shirts or warm-ups. Team uniforms or team t-shirts may be worn with jeans, black, red, gray or white shorts or team pants. Sweats or tights may not be worn as a part of game day uniform. Covered shoes and socks must be worn. Tank top style/racerback uniforms must be worn with a shirt underneath. Student-athletes may wear their team uniforms on Friday’s only if their sole game that week is scheduled on a Saturday. Teams are not allowed to wear their team uniforms on Mondays because of a game on chapel days. WARM UP Once you have joined a team, you have the option of purchasing a red hooded PRIORY ATHLETIC SWEATSHIRT for $25.00. This may be worn all year as a part of your school uniform. The Priory Athletic Sweatshirts may not be worn to chapel, but can be worn after chapel in classes. Anything other than the PRIORY ATHLETIC SWEATSHIRT or “approved” team warm-up is not allowed. If a team decides on a t-shirt or jacket for team warm-up, this must be approved by the athletic department and will be purchased by the individual and worn as a part of their team uniform on game days only (excluding chapel days). Team warm-ups/sweatshirts may NOT be worn to school after the season has ended or on nongame days. TRANSPORTATION Weekday transportation is provided for all Priory sponsored sports. Transportation may be provided for Pac-5 sports. Please be aware that we are not able to accommodate all Pac-5 sports everyday. The vans will leave daily at 3:10, regardless of your practice/game time. In some instances, students will be released early to accommodate the starting times of games. Because of time constraints, the vans will not wait for students so please be on time. You will need to make arrangements for parent pick-up from the practice/game site. You are not permitted to ride with friends/boyfriends to the site. Athletes may drive themselves ONLY

with permission from the Athletic Director. A permission note, signed by your parents, is required. Violations will result is team suspension. There will be no transportation provided on holidays, in-service days or weekends. Transportation schedules are located on the athletic bulletin board outside the Upper School office and on the 2nd floor of the gym. All practice cancellations due to weather will be posted on both bulletin boards by 1pm that day. It is the student-athletes responsibility to check these boards. STUDENT HEALTH FORM It is a school and ILH policy that every athlete must have a yearly physical in order to participate in Priory/Pac-5 athletics. You are NOT allowed to practice/tryout unless both the Student Health Record (Form-14) and the Athletic Permission Form are handed into the office. NO EXCEPTIONS! ILH CONCUSSION IMPACT TESTING Participants in certain ILH activities must complete the state mandated Impact Concussion Test. The dates will be set throughout the school year for athletes to test. You will not be allowed to play certain sports until this testing is done. This is in accordance with a new bill (Act 197) that was passed into law in 2012. Testing will be done every two years, unless the student is new to the school. PAC-5 CLEARANCE for PARTICIPATION All athletes wishing to tryout for a Pac-5 sport must obtain a Pac-5 clearance form from the athletic director. Athletes who show-up for a sport without clearance will not be allowed to tryout or participate in Pac-5 athletics until eligibility and academic clearance has been obtained. Clearance will be done through the sign-up process. Students must have current physical and concussion testing (if applicable) completed and turned in to the athletic office 24 hours before the tryout date. ILH TRANSFER POLICY The Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) and the HawaiĘťi High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) has a transfer rule. An ILH participant who transfers to a member school in the same school year or following year, shall be ineligible to participate for the new school in any sport she has participated in at the former school. An ILH participant from a combined or Pac-5 school may participate if the new school is also Pac-5 in that sport. Students in grades 9-12 who transfer to an ILH school from an OĘťahu public school must also sit out a year from that particular sport. ILH OUTSIDE PARTICIPATION RULE Participants in a team sport are not allowed outside participation during their ILH season, beginning with the ILH starting date of that sport. Individuals may return to outside participation at the conclusion of their respective ILH season. In season participation in

clinics, camps and schools by ILH participants is allowed. Team sports are: basketball, canoe paddling, soccer, softball, volleyball and water polo. A student-athlete who is a part of an ILH individual team may not participate in an outside event of the same sport on the same day as an ILH event. Individual sports may not participate on the same day as an ILH event. For more details, see the Athletic Director. TEAM SUSPENSION Any student who voluntarily drops out of a sport, accumulates two or more unexcused absences, or is asked by the coach to leave a team because of disciplinary actions, shall be declared ineligible to participate in any Priory/Pac-5 sponsored sport for one year from the date of suspension. An absence is considered unexcused if the athlete or the athlete’s family, does not notify the coach prior to missing a practice/contest or the absence is considered unexcused by the coach. Missing games/matches should be avoided, unless absolutely necessary. It is important that the athlete realizes her obligation to the team and carries out that responsibility for the duration of the season. It is an honor and a privilege to make a team when others may have been denied. The Athletic Director and Upper School Principal will review academic issues individually. ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS and STUDY HALL POLICY During the school year, grade checks will be generated to monitor academic progress for athletes. Student-athletes who are failing a course may practice with the team (at the coach’s discretion), but may not participate in preseason, season or post season events until the grade is no longer a failing grade. To be released from the “no game” policy, the student-athlete must obtain a grade-check form from the Athletic Director (posted on office board) and have the teacher and Athletic Director sign off on the current grade. This form will be handed in to the coach. All team and athletic rules will apply to playing time and lettering in that sport. If, at interim time, the student has earned 2 D+’s or lower, or if at the end of the quarter, the student has earned 1 D or lower, she will be placed on an academic contract and placed in after school study hall. If the student has an open period, the student will be placed in study hall during the day in place of the after school study hall (unless determined otherwise by the Upper School Principal and Athletic Director). This contract will be in effect until the end of the quarter and until it is determined by the Principal that the student should be released from the existing contract. Students will not be released from study halls for practices. While the student is on an academic contract, she may not be played as a “starter” for the team until her grades have improved and the Principal has approved. The student must obtain this “starter release” from the Principal.

ABSENCES To letter in a sport a student must, whenever possible, attend all practices and game contests. Students who acquire more than five (5) excused absences or acquire two (2) unexcused absences from practices or games will not letter for that sport and may be excused from the team. Although injury and illness will count towards excused absences, it will not give reason for team dismissal. As much as possible, injured athletes are expected to remain a part of the team and attend practices. HIGH SCHOOL PE CREDIT Students participating in any Varsity or Junior Varsity sport, either Priory or Pac-5, may earn up to 1½ credits, equaling three semesters of P.E credit. To earn a ½ PE credit, the student must participate in at least one season of a Varsity or Junior Varsity sport. Please contact the Athletic Director before the start of your season for more information. The student must obtain all paperwork within one week of the season starting date and return all signed paperwork within two weeks of the completed season. The student must not have more than five (5) excused absences (including injuries, illness, school functions and trips) OR two (2) unexcused absences from practices. Attendance at all matches is required. The student must not be suspended from play for disciplinary or academic actions. The student must receive a Varsity or Junior Varsity letter in the sport in order to receive credit. Credit will only be awarded after all requirements have been met and all paperwork is turned in at the end of the season. (Restrictions: students who participate in a Priory or Pac-5 sport but attend “club” practices instead of Priory or Pac-5 practices will not be eligible.). GAME SITE BEHAVIOR Remember you have been chosen to represent the Priory Athletic Program. It is a privilege to be a part of an ILH/Priory team. Please act accordingly. Good sportsmanship and following school rules is expected by athletes AND parents at all times. Parents are an important part of our teams and are expected to follow general rules of sportsmanship and respect for our coaches and other teams. Acts of verbal or physical harassment will not be tolerated. Show your Priory Pride! ILH SNACK POLICY ILH member school athletic teams are NOT permitted to snack or potluck when visiting another ILH member school campus facility. ILH member school athletic teams are allowed to provide ONLY drinks after their scheduled ILH event. * Violation of this league policy is subject to fines. For questions or concerns. Please call or email Mrs. Missy Kilbey, Athletic Director, at 5322461 or email mkilbey@standrewsschools.org.

2017-2018 ImPACT Concussion Management Program Consent Form For the 2017-2018 school year, it is mandatory for student-athletes participating in the sports below to complete the ImPACT Concussion Management Baseline Test before regular season tryouts begin. We are requiring ALL athletes in grades 7-12 to complete the baseline test every two years. These specific sports were identified as “higher-risk sports” after consulting with physicians, neuropsychologists, the Hawaii Athletic Trainers’ Association and other experts in the field. FALL SPORTS ■ Cheerleading ■ Volleyball

WINTER SPORTS ■ Soccer ■ Basketball ■ Wrestling ■ Canoe Paddling ■ Intermediate Tennis

SPRING SPORTS ■ Judo ■ Softball ■ Sailing ■ Track & Field ■ Varsity Tennis ■ Waterpolo

The ImPACT program will assist our registered nurse and school personnel in evaluating and treating head injuries (e.g., concussions). In order to better manage concussions sustained by our student-athletes, we have acquired a software tool called ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing). ImPACT is a computerized exam utilized in many professional, collegiate and high school sports programs across the country to indicate and manage concussions. If an athlete is believed to have suffered a head injury during a school competition, ImPACT is used to help determine the severity of the head injury and when the injury has healed. This test is used as an indicator, not a diagnosis. An injured athlete will need to seek medical attention to diagnosis a concussion. The ImPACT test will establish a baseline score prior to beginning practice or competition in a contact sport. If an athlete has received a concussive injury, the injured athlete is re-assed and the scores are compared to the baseline score. Athletes will only be considered to return to their activities if the post-injury scores are comparable to the baseline scores. Although it is our goal to test all athletes prior to the tryouts for each season, we may be administering the tests during the season due to limited resources and due to the challenge of testing a large number of athletes. The non-invasive ImPACT test is set up in “video-game” type format and takes about 20-30 minutes to complete. It is simple, and many athletes enjoy the challenge of taking the test. Essentially, the ImPACT test is an athletic physical exam of the brain. It tracks information such as memory, reaction time, speed, and concentration. It is not an IQ test.

If a concussion is suspected, the athlete will be required to re-take the ImPACT test. Both pre-injury and post-injury test results are evaluated by our nurse and/or the Pac5 athletic trainers, who may consult with a neuropsychologist/neurologist as part of the evaluation process. The information gathered can also be shared with your family doctor. The test data will enable health professionals to determine when return-to-play is appropriate and safe for the injured athlete. If an injury of this nature occurs to your child, you will be promptly contacted with all details. We wish to stress that the ImPACT testing procedures are non-invasive, and they pose no risks to your student- athlete. Please sign and return this page. For more information about the ImPACT test, please visit Edline/ Athletics/ ImPACT Test. If you have any further questions regarding this program please contact Missy Kilbey, Athletic Director.
