[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our high school, kids are permitted to miss practices and matches under the following circumstances: 1) an academic event (so like presenting at a math night would be ok, studying for a test would not be an excuse; making up a test if that were the only time the teacher were available would be fine); 2) a mandatory band or orchestra event; 3) a family emergency; and 4) illness. That seems fairly reasonable to me.[/quote] +1. Our JV soccer coach told the kids they are students first, athletes (and everything else) second. They were expected to attend every practice but to talk with the coach directly about homework/schoolwork issues. The coach also teaches at the HS.[/quote]
