Student-Athlete Responsibilities

Athletes are expected to attend all practices, Monday-Friday, 3:35–5:00 pm. In the event of an absence, the athlete must notify the coach as early as possible.
All athletes will wear a practice uniform to practice every day. A practice uniform consists of shorts or sweats in school colors and some type of “Baird” athletic T-shirt. (Example: “Baird Athletics, Baird Physical Education, Baird Track, etc.)
Athletes must attend AST (Academic Support Time) in the morning (8:45- 9:10 am) whenever class is missed due to athletics. This is the time to communicate with teachers and complete any missed assignments.
Athletes are expected to maintain and care for equipment and uniforms provided by the school. Athletes are responsible for all damaged or lost items issued for the sport.
