Gregori High School
Water Polo Players Contract

Welcome to the Jaquatics Family!
Being a Student Athlete is a privilege and with privileges come responsibilities. As one of our athletes, we
expect that players will comply with the following expectations and responsibilities.
1. Athletes will perform to the best of their abilities as students.
You are a student first and an athlete second. Failing to complete assignments, submit work, or
maintaining a passing grade, indicates an inability to handle the load of being a team member as well as a
student. If teachers are not satisfied with your work ethic in the classroom, you may be suspended from
competition until improvement is shown.
- Any player who has missed classes during the day will not be permitted to compete in the
afternoon games/meets.
- Athletes should respect teachers and other students, demonstrating cooperation and responsible
behavior at all times. Behavior should not interfere with the learning opportunities of others.
2. Athletes will fully commit to their sport and team.
This includes:
a) Committing to all practices, games, and team experiences.
- every practice missed will result in appropriate consequences (This includes arriving to practice
late and/or leaving early)
- athletes will be removed from the team if more than three practices are missed (no exceptions).
b) Missing a game and/or tournament may result in a removal from the team (coaches discretion).
c) Should an athlete miss a practice or a game without any notification to the coach, the athlete may be
removed from the team.
3. Athletes will always conduct themselves in an appropriate manner and be respectful.
a) Athletes will display respect for coaches, teammates, game officials, and opponents.
- Profanity will NOT be tolerated on the pool deck.
d) Athletes will take good care of all equipment issued for player use.
c) Should an athlete lose or damage a piece of equipment, the athlete is held financially responsible for
the equipment they lost and/or damaged.
c) Athletes will always demonstrate good sportsmanship.
- showboating taunting and/or bad sportsmanship will NOT be tolerated.

4. Bullying and Hazing will NOT be tolerated at any time.

- Athletes will be removed immediately from the program if any instances of hazing/or bullying
occur.
5. Social Media
We, as coaches, understand the role that social media plays in our athletes lives. Athletes are expected to,
much like on a daily basis, conduct themselves professionally and respectfully on social media.
Athletes will not post any content which includes:
- negative comments about a teammate, coach, parent, or opposing team.
- illegal activity (includes drinking/drug use).
- anything which demonstrates disrespect toward another.
Social media is a powerful tool; lets use it for the positive.
Remember, as an athlete, you are representing yourself, your team, your coaches, your parents, and
Gregori High School. Your conduct and sportsmanship should always have a positive reflection.
6. Water Polo Athletes and Parents
Water polo consists of two levels, Junior Varsity and Varsity.
1) Both the JV and Varsity level will have tryouts; cuts will be made at the coach's discretion.
2) Should a 9th or 10th grade athlete be asked to move up to varsity, the coach will communicate with the
athlete and parents. The decision to move up will be a mutual agreement.
**Please remember, the high school level is very competitive and playing time is not guaranteed.**
As coaches, we pride ourselves on creating, and maintaining, the best aquatics program.
Our goal for being the "best" consists of producing hard-working, dedicated, disciplined, and successful
student-athletes. We put our players first; we focus on developing character and skills necessary to excel
in water polo, maintaining high team and individual goals, and teaching what it takes to be successful in
and out of the water.
We are very passionate about what we do and hope to share our passion with all of our athletes.
Thank you for your support and dedication to our program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I, _______________________, as an athlete with the Gregori High School Aquatics Program, recognize

to the above expectations, and understand that if at any time I do not live up to the terms of this contract,
my participation may be restricted or terminated.
