ATHLETIC HANDBOOK
INTRODUCTION
Mohave Accelerated Learning Center believes the athletic program is an integral part of a
school's curriculum. The athletic program provides opportunity and emphasizes goals difficult to
achieve in other activities. Participation in athletic activities is a privilege and should be an
enriching and rewarding experience in which physical, mental and social growth is stimulated
through interscholastic competition. The purpose of the Athletic Code is to provide uniform rules
throughout the school district concerning participation in the athletic program.
The student athlete and parent must attend an Athletic Code meeting prior to his/her competitive
season, each year. No student athlete may participate in any contest unless this requirement has
been met. At the meeting, questions are encouraged. The purpose of the meeting is to better
understand the Athletic Code and the objectives of the District's Athletic Program.
It is the aim of the Mohave Accelerated Learning Center Athletic Department to develop highly
competitive athletic programs, and not lose sight of our educational values. We want our student
athletes to be outstanding citizens with these identifiable traits: respect for self and others,
responsibility, honesty, to be caring, compassionate and have goodwill towards all. It must be
recognized that athletics is a privilege, which carries definite responsibilities with it. The
Mohave Accelerated Learning Center community should realize the control of athletic programs
for student athletes at Mohave Accelerated Learning Center rests with school authorities.
The policies and procedures are reviewed every year. Your input is encouraged. To initiate any
change, it is recommended that such action be submitted in writing with substantiating data to
the Athletic Director, for ultimate consideration by the Governing Board. It is to these
viewpoints that we dedicate ourselves, thus promoting the most purposeful athletic program.
