Philosophy of Interscholastic Athletic Program
Competitive interscholastic sports are an inherent part of the total education program for
students in the Chardon Local School District. When properly organized and conducted,
interscholastic athletics provide numerous opportunities for students to participate in
activities which promote growth and development, teach social and recreational skills, and
develop leadership qualities. These values are more readily attained when the program is
based upon accepted standards and practices developed by professional leaders in
education and athletics.
The major emphasis of interscholastic athletics should be equitable in order that full
learning and enjoyment may be realized from game participation. Every attempt should be
made to provide favorable playing conditions in order that the competitive experience of
the students may be wholesome and result in the attainment of desirable attitudes and
conduct.
The rules, regulations and supervision of the program should ensure the
maximum protection of the health and safety of the players.
The cooperation of administrators, athletic directors, and coaches at the Middle School and
High School levels is paramount to the success of the Chardon Interscholastic Athletic
Program and its maximum development for the benefits of all students. The experience
gained from being part of a team is invaluable at these grade levels. A vertical control
system is necessary to ensure the coordination of program and the sound development of
student skills and attitudes. Working in conjunction with the appropriate administrators,
the High School Athletic Director and Assistant to the Director of Activities shall have the
charge of implementing this philosophy.
In keeping with this philosophy, necessary
interscholastic guidelines shall be developed and become part of the Board of Education's
adopted Athletic Policy Handbook.

Parent/Coach Communication Guide
Introduction
We are pleased that your son/daughter has chosen to participate in the interscholastic
athletic program of the Chardon Local School District. A goal of the athletic department is
to provide our student athletes with the best environment in which their sport experience
may be as rewarding as possible. We believe that this goal may not be realized without
appropriate lines of communication available to all parties involved.
This
“Communication Guide” has been developed to help coaches, parents, administrators and
student athletes communicate more effectively.
Communication You Should Expect From The Coach

conditioning, etc.
Procedures to follow should your child become injured during participation.
Athletic Code of Behavior policy and any additional rules that may affect your
child’s participation.
Requirements to earn a letter.
Disposition of lost/outstanding equipment at the end of the season.
Communication The Coach Should Expect From Parents And Athletes


As your child becomes involved in the various athletic programs of the Chardon Local
School District, it is our hope that he/she will experience some of the most rewarding
moments of his/her life. It is important to understand that things may not always go as you
or your child wishes. At these times, discussion with the coach may be desirable (in fact is
encouraged) to clear up the issue and avoid any misunderstanding.

Matters concerning other student athletes
Many aspects of the highly emotional and dynamic setting of interscholastic athletics are
often questioned. These may include decisions made by coaches, administration, officials,
athletes, parents, and fans. As you have seen from the previous list, certain concerns can
be and should be discussed with your child’s coach. Other items must be left to the
discretion of the coach. Our coaches are professionals. They make judgment decisions
based on what they believe to be best for all student athletes under the circumstances
present.
Procedure To Follow If You Have A Concern To Discuss With The Coach
There are situations that may require a conference between the coach and parent. Such a
meeting is encouraged when necessary. It is important that both parties have a clear
understanding of the other person’s position. Each should be willing to listen. The
following procedure should be followed to help promote a resolution of the issue.

Contact the coach to set up an appointment.

If the coach cannot be reached after a reasonable period of time, call the High
School Athletic Director or Assistant to the Director of Student Activities. An
appointment with the coach will be arranged for you.

Important… Please do not confront a coach before or after a contest or practice
session. These can be emotional times for both the parent and the coach. Meetings
of this nature do not promote resolution and in fact often escalate the issue.
The Next Step
What can a parent do if the meeting with the coach does not provide a satisfactory
resolution? Although total agreement may not always be reached, most often such a
meeting does afford the opportunity for productive discussion and better understanding. If
the parent desires further communication, please call the High School Athletic Director or
39
Assistant to the Director of Student Activities to discuss the situation. The appropriate
next step will be determined.
40
Chain of Command
The Chardon Local School District in conjunction with its’ Athletic Department follows

Athletic Boosters Association
Statement of Purpose:
The purpose of the Chardon High School Athletic Boosters Association is to assist the
Chardon Board of Education in supporting and sustaining a program of interscholastic
athletics for both boys and girls as a valuable and integral part of the total school
experience for the students of the district and as an appropriate focal point of interest for
the people of the community.
The Association will undertake projects to raise funds for use by the Chardon High and
Middle School Athletic Departments for uniforms, equipment and supplies and by the
Board of Education for the improvement of athletic facilities.
The Association will also undertake projects designed to cultivate clean wholesome school
spirit and pride, good sportsmanship and high ideals of character.
The Association will act as a forum for ideas originating with the people of the community
for projects relating to Chardon Local Schools’ athletes. They will work cooperatively
with the Chardon High and Middle School Athletic Departments and the Board of
Education in an advisory capacity to bring about improvement in Chardon Local Schools
athletics, athletic facilities and related athletic matters.
The Association will not, however, seek in any way to direct or interfere with operational
or administrative policies of the school officials who have the responsibility of conducting
the athletic programs of the district. Nor will it ever do anything which violates the rules
of the Ohio High School Athletic Association or which in any way jeopardize the
membership of the school district in the OHSAA.
Membership in the Association is open to any person who is interested in the purposes
listed above.
The High School Athletic Director and Assistant to the Director of Student Activities shall
act as the liaison person between the Athletic Boosters Association and the school and
shall serve as an interpreter of school policy. The High School Athletic Director and
Assistant to the Director of Student Activities should be a permanent member of the
Athletic Boosters Association governing body and should suggest direction to the
association's projects and for the expenditure of funds.

Student Athlete Guidelines
Expectations
Participation in athletics is a privilege, not a right. Since student athletes are in a
highly visible position, they are expected to conduct themselves in an exemplary manner at
all times which will positively reflect on them, their family, the team, the school, and the
community.
Student athletes who participate in the Interscholastic Athletic Program in the Chardon
Local Schools are expected to adhere to the Basic School Policies and the Student
Discipline Code as listed in the Student Handbook and adopted by the Chardon Local
School District Board of Education. The Code of Student Conduct, including the
Administrative Actions which result from discipline infractions, applies to all student
athletes. Moreover, a student athlete can be denied participation in contests or removed
from a team for a breach of the Student Discipline Code or a violation of policies
established by the OHSAA and the Athletic Department, including a violation of the
Training Rules and/or specific Team Rules established by the coaching staffs of individual
sports.
Student Athlete, who is disciplined in school for a breach of the Student Discipline Code,
must understand that it may directly affect their ability to participate in athletics.
1.
A student who serves a detention after school may be late for a practice or contest
which may result in further disciplinary actions from the coach.
2.
A student who is suspended, in-school or out-of-school, would not be allowed to
participate in practices or contests during the length of his or her suspension. This
may also result in further disciplinary actions from the coach.
As a prospective student athlete, you are expected to accept seriously the responsibility
and privilege of representing your school and community while participating in
interscholastic athletics. School and Athletic Department personnel expect you to treat
opponents with respect; accept the judgment of contest officials; abide by contest rules;
display no behavior that could incite fans or other participants in the contest or which is
intended to embarrass, ridicule or demean others under any circumstances; cooperate with
officials, your coaches and other participants to ensure a fair contest; live up to the high
standard of sportsmanship that has been established by the Chardon Local School District.
43
Eligibility
The eligibility standard to be maintained, as set by the OHSAA and Chardon Local School
District, is determined by grades the student-athlete earned the preceding grading period.
Semester averages and yearly averages have no effect on eligibility. Students in grades 912 must be currently enrolled in school and receive passing grades in a minimum of five
one-credit courses, or the equivalent, in the immediately preceding grading period. In
addition, students must receive a minimum of a 1.5 G.P.A. and receive no failing grades
(F’s) in the immediately preceding grading period. Students on an Individualized
Education Plan are exempt from the G.P.A. requirement, but not the Failure requirement.
Summer school grades cannot be used to substitute for failing grades earned the final
grading period of the regular school year.
There are other factors that pertain to eligibility. Please refer to the O.H.S.A.A. eligibility
pamphlet distributed at the beginning of each athletic season for full guidelines. It is the
responsibility of the student athlete and parent in conjunction with the Guidance
Department to make sure that the student athlete is scheduled into at least 5 credits per
grading period. Any concerns or doubts about eligibility should be brought to the attention
of the Guidance Department, the High School Athletic Director or Assistant to the Director
of Student Activities, the Building Principal, and the Coaches.
Training Rules
The Chardon Local School District expects certain standards from the student athletes who
participate in its Athletic Program. All student athletes who are participating in a sport are
expected to adhere to the following training rules established by the Athletic Department

In addition, all athletes are expected to adhere to their individual team rules established by
the coaching staff of a particular sport and approved by the High School Athletic Director
or Assistant to the Director of Student Activities and/or the Building Principal.

rule may be waived by the High School Athletic Director or Assistant to the Director of
Student Activities.
