ALL PRACTICES FOR ALL TEAMS ARE MANDATORY. ALL BCHS SOCCER PLAYERS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE 100% PRACTICE ATTENDANCE RECORDS. THIS INCLUDES THE FRESHMEN.

Absences from practice excused

Allowed  4 per season on all levels.  (exceptions: Dr. notes, prior to practice calls or emails from parents, coaches discretion) 

On the third absence, the coach will have a meeting with the athlete and will give the athlete the opportunity to earn back 1 absence.  If they reach five after the earn back, they will be dismissed from the team.       

Most common unexcused reasons for missing practice:

• Dentist appointments (Best to schedule these in the summer or winter)

• My sister/brother is in town from college and my parents want to have an early family dinner (All the players and coaches make sacrifices and miss family time to be a part of the BCHS soccer program).

• I have to work. (Not during soccer practice)

• My old coach let me just show up for games. (Clearly they had low expectations)

• Academics are very important in our family, my child needs to study today. (Academics are very important to the coaches too. Please study before or after practice. If you need assistance finding a tutor, feel free to contact Coach Plyler for a recommendation.)

• But it was a holiday. (No holidays for the players or coaches until after the season.)

Examples of consequences of missing practices, team meetings , events and games:

• “Old School” Methods – The whole team does extra running and conditioning

• Suspension from game participation

• Movement to a lower level team

• Suspension from the program

All student-athletes are responsible for knowing the practice and game schedule. There are last minute game changes during the season. These are posted  “I DIDN’T KNOW” is not an acceptable excuse.

Players must bring soccer shoes, running shoes, appropriate training attire and shin guards to all practices. BCHS soccer training attire is required for practice when distributed to the players.

The coaches reserve the right to make changes to the practice schedule during the season — including adding before school in the morning or night practices.

Exams and homework

Student-athletes must schedule their study and homework times around practice and game schedules. Players are not excused from participation to study for exams and do homework, unless they are on academic probation. Student-athletes must maintain the required academic standards to participate in high school sports. Learning to schedule study time around practice and game time is an important life skill to learn. 

Athletic Trainer

BCHS provides a certified trainer. All injured players must be seen by the BCHS certified trainer or bring a note from a doctor  to be “excused” from training. Injured players are expected to attend practices and games and act as assistants to the coaches and program as needed.
