Athletic Packet Form Information
Participation in athletics in the Victor Valley Union High School District (VVUHSD) means more than competition between individuals or teams representing different high schools. It teaches fair play, sportsmanship, understanding, and appreciation of teamwork.
A strong commitment and hard work is a path that leads to success. Participation on an athletic team is a privilege that is extended to every student who is eligible under regulations set up by State CIF and VVUHSD. With every privilege comes responsibility. The conduct of a VVUHSD athlete is closely observed by many people. An athlete is representative of a team, the school and the community. lt is important, therefore, that a VVUHSD athlete be at all times and in all places, a gentleman or lady. Any situation not specifically covered in this code will be referred to the Athletic Director.

Rules and Regulations to Participate in Sports
Prior to participation, a student athlete must complete the ''OK-to-Post" procedure. An '"Ok-to Post" email will be issued to the student, parent and coach when all requirements have been met and all of the paperwork has been fully completed. No athlete is permitted to participate in any extracurricular activity at any time without the coach first having possession of the athlete's "OK-to-Post".
OK-to-Post Requirements for First Sport:

Try-Out Requirements:
No athlete is allowed to try out for any athletic team or participate in physical conditioning sessions at any time prior to or during the season without the coach first having an "OK-to-Post".
The athlete shall accept the responsibility for all athletic equipment issued and will provide for its proper care, storage and return.

Equipment will be worn at the practices and games only. On game days the team may wear jersey, jackets, etc.
An athlete must notify the coach immediately if he / she considers dropping from a team. Dropping without consulting the coach shall result in the immediate suspension from athletics for the rest of the season of that sport. Any athlete, who is a member of a team for twenty practices (beginning from the day he / she reports - 20 days later) and quits the team after this time, will be ineligible for another sport until the end of the season of the sport he / she quits. This would include team play-offs in CIF.

Each individual coach or staff will handle violation of the policies or rules established in each sport. Make sure you understand the rules.
The administration of VVUHSD, in enforcing school and district policies may suspend or remove an athlete from participation in athletics.
