Welcome to Country Day Athletics

Dear Students, Parents, Faculty and Staff:

The La Jolla Country Day School student-athlete embodies the spirit of interscholastic athletics by combining intellectual achievement with physical excellence. Surrounded by their intellectual equals off the field and their athletic equals on the field, student-athletes must strive to their limits to maintain their standing in both environments.

The La Jolla Country Day School athletic program provides our student-athletes with an opportunity to broaden their educational experiences through an assortment of team and individual sports. The many lessons learned in athletics will complement those taught in the classroom and home, such as honor, respect, responsibility, commitment, preparation, teamwork and sportsmanship. Lifelong relationships among teammates, opponents and coaches are all part of the athletic experience.

A student who elects to participate in athletics is voluntarily making a choice of self-discipline, which must be maintained both in the classroom and on the athletic fields. It is our desire to provide a program that is both fun and rewarding for our students.

A well-organized athletic program includes rules that govern the spirit of competition for the school. These rules need a broad basis of community understanding, which is achieved through communication to the faculty, staff, parents and student-athletes. We hope to accomplish our objective through this athletic handbook. If at any time you have questions or concerns, please call me so that we can discuss possible solutions. We look forward to your participation in our athletic program.

Go Torreys!

Jeff Hutzler Director of Athletics and Physical Education

Athletic Director Jeff Hutzler

Jeff Hutzler enters his 15th year as La Jolla Country Day School’s director of athletics and physical education.

Country Day’s 2014-15 athletic teams were extremely competitive capturing 11 league, conference, CIF, Southern Regional and State Championships in women’s basketball, men’s water polo, women’s and men’s tennis, football, softball, baseball and men’s cross country. One Hundred and sixty-six championship banners (96 league/conference, 53 CIF, 11 Southern Regional and 6 State) have gone up in the Smith Gymnasium during Coach Hutzler’s 14 years as athletic director.

Twenty-two members of Country Day’s Class of 2015 will play baseball (6), basketball (2), cheerleading, crew, cross country (2), football (2), soccer (2), tennis (2), track and field (4), volleyball (2) and water polo at the college level in 2015-16 for Arizona, California State University, Fullerton, UC Davis, UCSD, UC Santa Barbara, Colorado College, Johns Hopkins, Lewis and Clark, Loyola New Orleans, Pepperdine, Middlebury College, McKendree University, University of the Pacific, Saint Mary’s, Mesa College, Rose-Hulman, Washington, Washington University at Saint Louis, Wake Forrest and United States Military Academy. In total, 65 former Torreys will compete for the nation’s finest college athletic programs in 2015-16.

La Jolla Country Day School students participate in athletics at a rate that is among California’s highest; 96 percent of the School’s upper school and 98 percent of the middle school students participated on at least one athletic team in 2014-15 with 96 upper school students playing two sports and 46 earning three-sport recognition.

Coach Hutzler is the winningest football coach in Country Day history with a win-loss record of 101-37 from 2002-2013. His teams claimed six league and three CIF Championships. After playing eight-man football from 2001-2004 and returning to 11-man football in the Pacific League in 2005, the Torreys re-joined the Coastal League, California’s most competitive small school football league, in the fall of 2011. Coach Hutzler was honored as one of California’s 13 model Coaches in 2009.

Prior to coming to Country Day Coach Hutzler coached football, track and field, men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball in Nevada, Los Angeles and upstate New York. He is a two-time Football State Coach of the Year, six-time Southern Nevada Track and Field Coach of the Year and was inducted into the Southern Nevada Track and Field Coaches Hall of Fame in 2005.

Coach Hutzler grew up in Kailua, Hawaii where he was a football, cross country, soccer and track athlete. He competed in cross country, track and boxing at the University of Nevada where he earned a degree in education in 1983. Coach Hutzler graduated from UNLV with a M.Ed. in physical education in 2000. He has two sons; Coleman, 31, the special teams coordinator/linebacker coach at Boston College, and 17 year old, Luke.

La Jolla Country Day School Athletic Guidelines

1. Athletes, coaches, parents, and spectators are expected to abide by the

Country Day Code of Sportsmanship (p.38).

2. “Quitting” is an intolerable habit to acquire. Joining a team represents a commitment to that team for the entire season. Therefore, a student-athlete who quits a team may not participate in the next Country Day athletic season. Quitting is defined as leaving the team after the team’s first scheduled contest.

3. Because Country Day values well rounded, multi-sport athletes, the athletic department gives special consideration to multi-sport athletes when awarding its year-end awards (p.18) and all 3-sport athletes are awarded a special patch for their letterman jacket.

4. Students must be in school no later than 11 a.m. in order to participate in after-school practices and contests.

5. Student-athletes must take school-provided transportation to all athletic events that take place during the school day. They are not allowed to drive themselves unless a signed parent note explaining the reason for them driving has been turned in to and approved by the athletic director. Student-athletes may drive themselves to athletic events that occur after the

conclusion of the school day with the permission of their coach.

6. All student-athletes who are participating simultaneously on a school and club team or simultaneously on two school teams must complete, and have on file in the athletic director’s office, a Country Day Dual Sport Participation Contract (p.27).

7. Torrey student-athletes shall not participate in hazing rituals for teams. Activities that produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule have absolutely no place in Country Day’s athletic program. Any student who encounters hazing should inform his/her parent, coach, teacher, advisor, dean, and the athletic director.

8. All student-athletes must inform their teachers of any planned class absence due to athletics a minimum of one day in advance of the absence (p.21).

9. It is a privilege to be a Torrey athlete, not a right. Student-athletes are expected to earn that privilege everyday of each athletic season.

10. Because Torrey student-athletes owe it to themselves, their teams and the Country Day school community to be at their physical and mental bests, all Torrey students must sign and adhere to the Torrey Student-Athlete Pledge (p.24) before they may compete for the school.

Athletic Principles

The principles of athletics at La Jolla Country Day School are to offer student-athletes, through participation in competitive sports, an opportunity to experience meaningful growth, accomplishment, and success through the development of sound habits of mind, heart, and work that will allow realization of one’s fullest potential. The opportunity for participation in a wide variety of student-selected

activities is a vital part of a student’s educational experience.

In keeping with the school’s commitment to enhance the scholar, artist, and athlete within each student, Country Day employs a “no cut policy” (p.22). Country Day does not exclude students from participating on a team due to lack of experience and/or ability. The School will provide a team to meet every ability level, and each team will be coached and provided competitive opportunities commensurate with the team’s experience and athleticism.

County Day’s athletic program strives to provide experiences that will enable our students to develop physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. As such, athletics play an important part in the life of students at Country Day. Through their participation in athletics, Country Day students learn lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, goal setting, competition, overcoming adversity, and winning and losing while maintaining behavior consistent with the School’s Six Pillars of Character. In keeping with our philosophy, the athletic program must function as an integral part of the total Country Day curriculum. It strives to be in conformity with the general objectives of the school by promoting sound learning and strong character.

Mission of Athletics and Physical Education: The mission of athletics and physical education at La Jolla Country Day School is to offer student-athletes, through participation in competitive sports and physical activities, an opportunity to experience meaningful growth, accomplishment, and success through the development of sound habits of mind, heart, and work that will allow realization of one’s fullest potential.

Upper School Athletic/Physical Education Requirements

Students must complete a minimum of four trimesters of physical education and/or seasons of athletics during upper school. Physical Education/Athletic credit may also be earned through the independent PE, summer strength and conditioning, yoga, Circles Academy Wellness and student trainer programs. PE classes are offered during the first and second trimesters of the school year, not during the third trimester. Students may take the six week summer strength and conditioning

Page 13: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

13

program to fulfill their PE requirement for the following year. Independent PE is taken for the entire school year.

Note: Four trimesters (seasons) of sport or PE during upper school is the minimum requirement. All upper school students are encouraged to be physically active and athletically competitive consistently during each year of upper school. A special patch is awarded every year to each student who participates in three sports and special consideration is given to multi-sport athletes when selecting Country Day’s Athletes of the Year.

Physical Education: The General Fitness Class is offered the first and second (fall & winter) trimesters of the school year. Students set and work towards personal fitness goals under the direction of strength and conditioning coach, Kevin Reaume. This course may be taken to enhance over all fitness and health or be used to train for Country Day athletic competition. PE students are required to dress in the Country Day physical education uniform or any Torrey team gear for this course. Country Day PE uniforms are for sale in the Torrey Store.

Yoga: Upper School Yoga is taught in one hour sessions, one day per week after school for the entire year. Students must participate in a minimum of 90 percent of the year’s yoga classes to satisfy their PE/athletic credit. Interested students should contact Dr. Deborah Fine at [email protected] with any questions.

Summer Strength and Conditioning: Students may satisfy their PE/athletic credit by successfully completing this course prior to the school year. Offered mid June through July. This six week 2 hour class runs Monday-Friday (with Wednesdays off) each week and may be attended 8:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m., 10:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m. or 1:15 p.m.-3:15 p.m.

Circles Academy Wellness Program: Students may earn their PE/athletic credit by successfully completing a trimester of the Circles Academy program. Circles Academy meets twice a week, two hours a day in Encinitas and includes fitness, nutrition, self-discovery, yoga and meditation. There is a cost associated with the program. Interested students should go online at www.circlesacademy.org or call program director, Chris Law at 858-353-1176

Independent PE: Independent PE is offered for students who are presently participating at a high level in a sport/athletic activity that Country Day does not offer. This course offering is for the Country Day student who is involved in his/her outside of school athletic endeavor to the extent that it precludes him/her from participating in school athletics or PE. Typically, this course is for students who have a lengthy history in their chosen sport and who train many hours per week and compete on weekends. Independent PE is not appropriate for students who are experimenting with new sports. Independent PE is not designed for students to enter and withdraw from on a trimester-by-trimester basis. Independent PE is designed for students to be enrolled in for the entire school year. Students must sign up for Independent PE at or before school registration in August by obtaining an Independent PE Application from the athletic director’s office. All Independent PE students must have their proposals approved by the athletic director.

Page 14: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

Team Managers, Student Athletic Trainers, Student Photographers, Mascots: Students may earn their PE/athletic credit by participating as team managers, students trainers, student photographers and mascots. Interested students should speak with the appropriate head coach, the athletic trainer or the athletic director to learn about these opportunities. Students who earn their credits by serving in these rolls are not eligible for 3-sport recognition.

Country Day Co-Curricular Policies

The following guidelines have been created by the athletic and arts departments to help each Country Day scholar-artist-athlete proactively plan a school year that is rewardingly competitive and creative. Following these guidelines will reduce student stress when participating on an athletic team and in an arts production simultaneously.

Students may participate in only one significant co-curricular activity per

trimester (season).

“Significant” is equivalent to playing a team sport or being a lead in an arts

production.

“Lead roles” in arts productions will be determined by the arts department;

an audition may be required.

Supporting roles in arts productions do not prohibit a student from team

participation, but practices and games may not be missed due to the production’s rehearsals.

PE may be taken concurrently with any involvement in an arts

production (lead or supporting), but attendance at PE is not to be affected due to the production.

Torrey Club Sports

Student-athletes who participate on Torrey club teams earn the same sport season credits as students on regular CIF teams but do not earn Country Day athletic letters. Students who participate on Torrey club teams are eligible for three-sport athletic recognition. It may be possible for students to participate on some Torrey club teams while they play on regular CIF Country Day upper school teams. Students interested in Torrey club sports should contact the club coach with inquiries about club fees, schedules and requirements. Torrey club sports do not fall under the School’s “no cut” policy (see Athletic Principals on p.9) and Torrey club coaches may limit participation.

Practice, Contest Times and Equipment Typically, upper school practices are conducted Monday-Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Due to facility availability, some teams may practice at different times. Contests are held weekday afternoons and evenings as well as on Saturdays. In addition, each upper school athletic season carries special requirements of proper dress, equipment, and time. For example, some sports may require student-athlete participation for practice and/or contests during school vacations (see Practices and Contests During Winter, Spring and Summer Vacations below). Sports may require special equipment such as rackets, lacrosse sticks, shoes, etc. It is the responsibility of each upper school student to ascertain what these special requirements may be before going out for a sport. Each upper school student is expected to arrive at each first day of practice properly dressed, equipped, and informed. Additionally, students are expected to keep all conflicts with their practice times to an absolute minimum. Students are expected to schedule appointments (on and off campus), seek help from teachers and participate in arts either before or after practice, but not during. Any students who miss or are late to any practice for any reason may miss playing time at the discretion of the head coach.

Practices and Contests During Winter, Spring and Summer Vacations It is a general athletic department rule that varsity student-athletes will have one half of winter and spring school breaks off and are expected to practice and/or compete the other half of those breaks. Novice and JV athletes generally have more than half to all of winter and spring school breaks off. Coaches of winter and spring season sports have their school break schedules well in advance of winter and spring breaks and it is the responsibility of each upper school student to ascertain the head coach’s school break participation expectations before going out for a sport. Certain Torrey teams may require participation during summer vacations. Torrey coaches, especially those leading the School’s football,

Page 17: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

17

cross-country, baseball, basketball, and water polo programs, require their student-athletes’ participation over the summer. Torrey coaches encourage their students to vacation during the CIF mandated dead period. It is the responsibility of each upper school student to ascertain the head coach’s summer vacation participation and expectations before going out for a sport.

Upper School Athletic Awards Team Awards Letters — Varsity student-athletes will receive a varsity letter for the first varsity team on which they participate and meet the qualifications for. After receiving their first letter, pins will be awarded to recognize participation on varsity teams. Students must meet certain criteria in order to earn a varsity letter.

1. Student-athletes may not exceed more than two unexcused absences from practice.

2. Student-athletes must attend all contests unless excused by their head coach. Excused absences from contests may be granted by the head coach in the event of illness, religious holidays or approved family commitments such as weddings or funerals.

3. Student-athletes must be a member of the team for the entire season. Students injured during the season may earn a varsity letter provided they remain with their team for the entire season.

MVP, Most Improved Player and Coaches Award At the end of each season, each varsity, junior varsity, and novice team will recognize up to three of its student-athletes. Generally, these awards are given to the Most Valuable Player (MVP), the Most Improved Player, and a Coaches Award recipient. The Coaches Award is given to the player who, in the opinion of the coach, embodies the Country Day Athletic Department philosophy. The timeless principles of teamwork, character, leadership, perseverance, work ethic and a positive attitude are keys to this award.

uniforms and equipment shall be distributed by the coach at the beginning of the season and should be returned immediately following the season. Students will be charged for uniforms or equipment that is lost, stolen or damaged. Care should be used to avoid fading and/or shrinking uniforms while laundering. A good rule is to always wash in cold water and to hang dry.

Dressing for Practices and Contests Student-athletes must use the athletic locker rooms to change for practices and contests. Students are to never change in their cars or in the School’s restrooms.

Dismissal of Athletes from Class

While the majority of Torrey athletic contests are scheduled during non-class time, there are times when student-athletes must miss class to compete. At these times it is the responsibility of the student to inform his/her teacher of the planned class absence as far in advance as possible. Students who fail to inform their teachers about missed class time a minimum of one day in advance of the planned class absence will not be excused from that class (see

Athletic Guideline #8 on p.8).

Torrey Team Travel

Torrey athletic teams will travel by school van and bus as well as charter buses and commercial airlines. Whether traveling locally in the San Diego area or out of the state or country, all Torrey student-athletes are expected to:

1. Conduct themselves as Country Day gentlemen and ladies in a manner that will reflect positively on themselves, their families, their team, and La Jolla Country Day School.

2. Follow all school rules just as if they were on campus.

3. Realize that every choice they make has an effect on themselves, their families, their team, the Torrey athletic department and on La Jolla Country Day School. Every choice a player makes while traveling should be one that helps his/her team play at a championship level.

4. Enjoy their teammates and the trip while maintaining a competitive focus.

Students Driving to Contests Number five of La Jolla Country Day School’s Athletic Guidelines states that student-athletes must take school-provided transportation to all athletic events that take place during the school day and are not allowed to drive themselves unless a signed parent note explaining the reason for him/her driving has been turned in to and approved by the athletic director (see Athletic Guidelines on p.8). Please note that written permission is also required for:

a student to drive another student.

Page 22: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

22

a student to ride with another student.

Verbal and/or emailed permission will not be accepted. Notes signed by a parent may be faxed to the athletic director at 858-453-3099. Students may drive or ride with other students without a parent note but with the coach’s permission if the team does not depart for the contest until after the conclusion of the school day.

No Cut Policy La Jolla Country Day School employs a “no cut” policy (see paragraph two of Athletic Principles on p.9). This policy states that no student-athlete will be excluded from participating in any of the School’s athletic programs due to a lack of experience and/or ability. However, all students should understand that:

Not all student-athletes will make the varsity team. Each student will be

placed on the appropriate team (varsity, JV or novice) commensurate with his/her experience and athleticism. The head coach of each of the School’s athletic programs will make the final determination as to which team each student plays on.

Student-Athletes may be dismissed from the School’s athletic programs.

Head coaches may dismiss students from their programs for breaking such team rules as repeated absences and/or tardies, failure to dress in proper game and/or practice uniform, failure to be properly prepared for practices and/or games (see Practice, Contest Times, and Equipment on p.16), etc. It is the responsibility of each student to ascertain and follow each coach’s set of team rules.

For facility reasons the sports of tennis and golf may limit their number of

participants.

.

Objective of Athletics at Country Day

Varsity Athletics

to allow committed and qualified students the opportunity to participate on

competitive sports teams sponsored by the athletic department.

to enhance and refine fundamental skills and game strategies.

to provide stimulating practice sessions and appropriate competition to

allow opportunity to achieve success.

to allow playing time as determined by a student-athlete’s inherent ability,

commitment to team and quality of work ethic.

to allow for maturity as athletes and as individuals by facing challenges

inherent in competitive sports.

to allow for the further development and enhancement of qualities of

sportsmanship, leadership, loyalty and commitment.

Page 23: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

23

to insist upon self-discipline and a strong work ethic as a means to

insure, achievement and excellence.

wins and losses are important in varsity athletics, but do not stand alone in determining the success of a season. The amount of team unity that develops over the course of the season, the realization of potential by season’s end, and the development of a strong work ethic and sense of pride in accomplishment are all factors in determining success at the varsity level.

Junior Varsity / Novice

to prepare junior varsity and novice student-athletes, through an

appropriate level of competition, for participation in the varsity program.

to emphasize and develop fundamental skills and game strategies.

to provide stimulating practice sessions and appropriate competition to

allow opportunity for the attainment of success.

to allow playing time in practice and games over the course of the season

so that maturity may be gained as an athlete (a student-athlete’s inherent ability, commitment to team and quality of work ethic will be factors in determining an appropriate amount of playing time). Athletes do not have to play in EVERY contest, but should see playing time every week.

to allow for the development of qualities of sportsmanship, leadership,

loyalty, honor, respect, preparation, commitment, teamwork, personal integrity, work ethic, self responsibility, responsibility to others, self sacrifice, delayed gratification, over coming fears, attacking challenges, goal setting, the pursuit of excellence, community and the idea that being a student at Country Day is a privilege, not a right.

to encourage self-discipline and a strong work ethic to fuel a desire for

achievement and excellence.

to recognize success and progress throughout the season as fundamental

skills are mastered, as team unity develops and as offensive and defensive concepts are realized in competition

Tuition Assistance

In keeping with La Jolla Country Day School’s policy, no Torrey student-athletes receive scholarships to attend the School. As with all Country Day students, Torrey student-athletes may qualify for and receive financial assistance. Financial assistance is only available to qualified Country Day students (students who have been enrolled on their academic merit) who prove financial need. Any questions regarding Country Day’s financial assistance policies should be directed to Director of Financial Assistance and Enrollment Management, Brian Murphy at [email protected] or 858-453-3440 x104.

I believe that, as a La Jolla Country Day student-athlete, I owe it to

myself, my team and my school community to be at my physical and mental best.

I understand that it is a privilege to be a Torrey athlete, not a right, and

Weight Room, Fitness Center and Strength and Conditioning Program

Country Day’s modern weight room and fitness center are staffed by full-time strength and conditioning coach, Kevin Reaume, who is experienced in the proper techniques for the training of student-athletes. Proper and safe strength and conditioning is taught year round and is geared for both male and female athletes of all Country Day sports. Three two-hour per day, four days per week summer strength and conditioning courses are offered during the summer session. For more information on how to Train the Torrey Way contact Coach Kevin Reaume at [email protected].

Performance Enhancing Drugs and Supplements Country Day does not condone the use of performance-enhancing drugs or supplements which may endanger the health of any student-athlete. Country Day follows the guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Sports Medicine, the National Football League (NFL), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and the National Athletic Trainers Association. Country Day does not promote or advocate the use of any performance-enhancing substance including, but not limited to:

anabolic androgenic steroids.

creatine (in any form).

human growth hormones.

non-approved FDA medications.

blood doping.

The student-athlete at Country Day is educated on these topics by the athletic trainer and coaching staff. Country Day coaches believe that hard work, commitment, proper diet and rest allow students to achieve their physical goals. They teach that the use of any performance-enhancing drug is a short cut that, in the long run, could cause damage or death to the student.

Senior Night/Day Senior student-athletes and their parents are honored during a ceremony at each senior’s last regular season (non playoff) home contest of each athletic season. The Torrey Booster Club provides a small gift for each senior student and a flower for his/her mother. Each Team’s senior night/day is organized by the team’s parent group (see team parents on p.37).

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Eligibility All Students who plan to compete athletically at the collegiate level must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center www.ncaaclearinghouse.net at the beginning of his/her junior year. The Upper School Office will send transcripts to the NCAA at the end of the 1st and 2nd semester of each year for students that have

Page 26: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

26

registered. Students should contact their college counselor with any questions they may have.

Proper Dress for Practices, Contests, and Team Photos

The head coach will determine the proper dress for team practices. All Country Day student-athletes will dress exactly alike in their complete school issued game uniform and warm-ups for all contests. No other athletic club’s, other school’s, or any non-Country Day uniforms, t-shirts, jackets, sweats, or socks will be worn during contests either on the field or on the sidelines. For team photos, students will be dressed exactly like they would for a contest, this includes socks and shoes. Students without their complete game uniform will be withheld from the team photo.

Team T-shirts and Sweats

All team T-shirts, sweats, shooting shirts, or any other team apparel containing the school’s name and/or logo worn by student-athletes at school or off campus must be approved by the athletic director, whether it has been purchased by the school or donated by a student or parent.

Torrey Time

The Country Day athletic department operates on Torrey Time. If you are on time, you are late. Arrive early and be prepared. In other words, for a practice scheduled at 3:30 you should arrive no later than 3:15. At 3:30 you will be completely dressed, loosened up and ready to work.

Multi-Sport Athletes

In accordance with the Athletic Principles (p.9) and Torrey coach description #6 (p. 28), it is the goal of the Country Day Athletic Department to develop as many multi-sport athletes as possible. All Country Day coaches believe that student-athletes gain valuable educational experiences and, in fact, become stronger, more competitive athletes by playing a variety of sports under the guidance of a variety of coaches, competing in a variety of situations, and by overcoming a variety of obstacles. The development of specialized one-sport athletes is counter-productive to the athletic principles of Country Day (see Athletic Guideline #3 on p.8).

Overlapping Athletic Seasons

Some multi-sport student-athletes will face overlapping athletic seasons. For example, the student’s fall season team is in the playoffs while his/her winter team has begun practices. Students who experience this overlap must always give priority to the team that is finishing their season, the team that is in the playoffs. Torrey coaches have both, each student’s and the playoff team’s best interest at heart and, as such, will do all that they can to enable students to successfully end one season while transitioning into their next season (attending some limited

Page 27: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

27

basketball practices while completing football or volleyball practices and playoff games, for example). It is always the coach whose team is in the playoffs who makes the final determination as to the limits that athletes may begin participation in their new sport season.

Dual Sport Participation Contract

All La Jolla Country Day School student-athletes who are participating simultaneously on a school and club team or two school teams must complete, and have on file in the athletic director’s office, a Country Day Dual Sport Participation Contract (see Athletic Guideline #6 on p.8). Dual Sport Participation Contracts are available in the athletic office. The purpose of this contract is to ensure that:

1. All adults working with the young student-athlete are fully aware of the amount of time and effort he/she is spending on athletics.

2. The two-sport participation is physically sound and safe for the young student-athlete.

3. The two-sport participation fits into the young student-athlete’s life in a manner that is educationally and socially sound.

4. Any scheduling conflicts are resolved as far in advance as possible.

This contract must be signed by the head coaches of both of the student’s teams, the student’s parent, the School’s athletic trainer, and the athletic director. In addition, the student must submit (attach) practice and competition schedules for both his/her teams as well as a written plan for resolving any conflicts. The head coaches of both teams should approve this plan.

No student-athlete may compete for Country Day simultaneously with another team until his/her Dual Sport Participation Contract is complete and on file in the athletic director’s office.

Team Fundraising

As a general rule, Torrey athletic teams do not fundraise. All fundraising at Country Day School must be approved by the School’s director of development. Torrey club teams are pay to play and may fundraise.

Coach Evaluation by Student-Athlete

Each varsity, JV, and novice team athlete will evaluate their head coach, assistant coaches and athletic program using an anonymous evaluation form provided by the athletic director at the end of each season. These evaluations will aid Country Day’s coaches and the athletic director as they strive to consistently build and improve the school’s athletic program.

Page 28: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

Torrey Coaches

In almost every case, Country Day coaching is done by teachers who have themselves competed with distinction in their sports. These coaches personify the manner in which mind, body and spirit can enhance and reinforce each other. Our coaches aim to challenge Country Day’s student-athletes to help them learn to reach beyond themselves and to teach them a life-long love of their sport.

1. Lead by example keeping in mind that they are teachers at all times while coaching for Country Day. Torrey coaches carry themselves, behave and dress like professional athletic teachers.

2. Teach through sport. Torrey coaches are fair and firm with their student-athletes, teaching the following sound timeless athletic principals every day of their seasons:

strong work ethic at practice and effort during contests

loyalty to team and school

punctuality. i.e. Torrey Time (if you are on time you are late!)

being prepared with uniform and equipment

being physically and mentally prepared

respect for teammates

respect for opponents

respect for the game

respect for officials

being humble in victory and gracious in defeat

3. Remind their student-athletes that it is a privilege to be on a Country Day team, not a right, and expect them to earn that privilege every day of their season.

4. Strive to make being a member of their team special and exclusive for each student-athlete. Torrey coaches require their students earn that team membership each day of their season.

5. Remind their student-athletes that, while they view each of them as an important part of the program, none of them are as important as the team. Torrey coaches ask their students to put the needs of the team before their own needs everyday of the season. “The Team, The Team, The Team.”

6. Encourage their student-athletes to be multi-sport athletes. Country Day does not believe in specialized, one-sport athletes at the middle or upper school levels. It is the goal of the athletic department to develop as many multi-sport athletes as possible.

Torrey Coaches are Double Goal Coaches 1) Compete and win 2) Build character and teach life lessons

Athletic Trainer / Sports Medicine La Jolla Country Day strives to provide the highest quality of athletic training and sports medicine services. Country Day employs a full-time, certified athletic trainer in order to provide care for injuries incurred during school athletic participation. The athletic trainer works in coordination with the school nurse and team physicians in order to deliver appropriate, specific care for each injury or illness. The athletic trainer works under the BOC Standards of Professional Practice and is committed to using current evidence and clinical judgment in order to ensure the best patient care for our student-athletes.

What is a Certified Athletic Trainer?

An athletic trainer specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of muscle and bone injuries and illnesses, and is educated in emergency care for catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord injuries, sudden cardiac arrest, heat illness and concussions. Athletic Trainers:

must obtain, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree in athletic training from an

accredited university or college and complete appropriate clinical training.

must pass a comprehensive exam to earn the athletic trainer

(ATC) credential.

must keep their knowledge and skills current by participating in

continuing education.

must adhere to standards of professional practice set by one national

certifying agency and to a national code of ethics. Training Room Hours Monday-Friday 11 a.m. to the completion of home practices and games.

Training Room Rules: All athletes MUST sign in for every treatment, including ice.

No treatment (with exception of ice) is to be self administered.

No cleats in the training room.

No foul language.

No horseplay.

No supplies (including tape) or equipment are to be removed from the

training room without permission.

Event Coverage

There will be an athletic trainer on campus for all home games. With the exception

Page 30: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

30

of football, there will NOT be away coverage provided. In the event of an injury at an away contest the athlete and coach should seek the advice of the host school’s athletic trainer and use their best judgment in determining care. Home game coverage will be prioritized in the order of collision, contact, limited contact and non-contact. Additionally, Varsity competitions will be given priority over JV or Novice competitions. There will not be athletic training coverage at water polo practices or games. Exceptions may be made by the athletic trainer or athletic director.

Sport Classification

Collision: Football, Men’s LAX Contact: Basketball, Soccer, Women’s LAX, Water Polo Limited Contact: Baseball, Softball, Field Events (High Jump, Pole Vault), Cheerleading Non-Contact: Golf, Cross Country, Tennis, Field Events (Discus, Shot Put, Triple Jump, Long Jump), Fencing, Volleyball, Swim and Dive. Communication with Parents Regarding Injuries: Our students’ safety on the playing fields and courts is as important to us as their success. Our team of dedicated coaches, conscientious athletes and caring families can ensure a safe and successful experience by recognizing the appropriate protocol. It is imperative that the athletic trainer, coach and student-athlete communicate in order to provide the best care and ensure the athlete’s safety. The coach and athlete should report any injury that has occurred to the athletic trainer. The athlete should report any trauma or symptoms that they encounter to their coach and athletic trainer immediately. The athletic trainer will keep parent and coach informed on the progress of the student athlete. The athletic trainer is accessible for questions by phone or email. The injured student athlete is responsible for scheduling rehab and treatment.

Hurt or Hurting?

It is important that all Country Day student-athletes and their parents understand the difference between hurt and hurting. Sore muscles, bumps, and bruises are a part of athletics. Coaches will communicate with their students that they are not

injured until the athletic trainer has seen them and assessed them as such.

Athletic Removal from Practice and/or Contests Due to Injury The athletic trainer is responsible for the care and treatment of the athletic injuries sustained while participating in Country Day athletics. The athletic trainer will care for the athlete from initial injury to return to play. The trainer is responsible for determining when it is safe and in the student athlete’s best interest to return to participation. As a result, the athletic trainer maintains the authority to hold the athlete from participation and require examination by a physician before the student athlete can return to play.

Page 31: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

31

Athletic Injury Protocol for Parents and Other Non-Sport Related Persons In order to maintain an efficient condition of service related to the athletic trainer, parents and other non-sport related persons will remain off the field/court sidelines throughout an athletic event (practice/contest). This condition is stipulated for the safety of both the parent or supporter and the student-athletes on the field/court. The athletic trainer must be able to control the environment in which an emergency situation may occur. If an emergency should arise with a student whose parents are present, the athletic trainer must be able to perform his/her duties in a swift and efficient manner. To do so with a parent on the field/court is many times unproductive and a source of greater confusion and anxiety to the student. As is the athletic trainer’s responsibility, the parent will be kept informed of an emergency involving his/her child, and, as soon as possible, the student will be removed from the field and the parent will be able to see him/her. Other non-sport related persons at the athletic event will be asked to remain in the stands or away from the sideline if an emergency situation occurs. This is required for both the safety and security of the student. As with any medical situation, all information concerning a student is confidential and will not be made available to the public by anyone other than the involved student.

Medication

Student-athletes may receive medication limited to tums, ibuprofen, Tylenol, and Benadryl during a game or practice only if deemed appropriate by the athletic trainer and pre-approved by the parents on the health and emergency form. Coaches will not administer medication. Student-athletes should not share their own medication with other students.

Pre-participation Examination

Pre-participation physical examinations conducted by a M.D. or D.O. are required by California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and Country Day for athletic participation. These examinations are required for students grades seventh to 12th whether or not they play a sport. The exam must be conducted after May 1 in order to be valid for the upcoming year and must be submitted to Country Day by August 1 in order for a student to attend classes.

Concussion Information and Policy

Concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth-causing the brain to bounce around or twist within the skull. This sudden movement of the brain can cause stretching and tearing of brain cells, damaging the cells and creating chemical changes in the brain. A concussion can have a serious effect on a young, developing brain. While most children and teens with a concussion recover quickly and fully, some will have concussion symptoms that last for days, weeks or even months.

Not giving the brain enough time to heal after a concussion can be dangerous. A

Page 32: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

32

repeat concussion that occurs before the brain heals from the first, usually within a short amount of time (hours, days, weeks), can slow recovery or increase the chances for long-term health problems. These may include changes in how the child or teen thinks, feels and acts, as well as their ability to learn and remember.

While rare, a repeat concussion can result in brain swelling or permanent brain damage. It can even be fatal. Resource: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

ImPACT Testing

Country Day uses a software tool called ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) in evaluating and treating head injuries. A computerized exam utilized in many professional, collegiate and high school sports programs across the country. ImPACT assists our athletic trainer and team doctors in successfully diagnosing and managing concussions. Student athletes who participate in sports with a higher risk for concussions take a baseline test and then are tested again with ImPACT after sustaining a concussion.

Concussion Policy

Country Day follows CIF regulation and California state law in order to ensure student-athlete safety during athletic participation. Any middle school or high school athlete, who is suspected of sustaining a concussion is NOT allowed to return to athletic activity that day and must bring back a physician’s note stating that a head injury was not sustained in order to return to athletic activity in the future. The concussion can be suspected by a coach, athletic trainer, athletic director, nurse or referee. CIF also requires that the athlete be seen by a M.D. or D.O. trained in concussions and working in their scope of practice. This means that the athlete cannot be seen by a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant. If the athlete did sustain a head injury or concussion, he or she must complete a seven-step (seven plus days after being symptom free) return-to-play progression supervised by a physician in order to return to play. The student-athlete must have made a complete return-to-learn before they start the return-to-play progression. Every step of the progression must be signed off by a designated concussion monitor. Even if an athlete brings a note stating that he or she is cleared to play, the progression must be completed and signed before the athlete is cleared for participation at Country Day.

As the coach and athletic trainer cannot monitor all athlete’s every move, it is the student-athlete’s responsibility to read, understand, and report any symptoms of a concussion.

Team Physicians

Booster Club

The Country Day Booster Club is an organization of school parents who are devoted to the enhancement of Torrey athletics. The goals of the Booster Club are to:

promote school spirit.

raise the awareness level throughout the school and the community with

regard to the Country Day athletic program.

encourage support for all athletic programs from the parents, alumni,

students, faculty and staff.

sponsor fundraising activities that support the athletes, coaches,

equipment and athletic facilities of La Jolla Country Day School.

Torrey Booster Club President Kimberly Langborg can be contacted at [email protected] or 858-775-1980.

Team Parents

Team parents can do much to enhance each Torrey athletic program by providing team lunches, refreshments at games, fostering communication between the team’s coaches and parents, organizing end of the season parties/banquets, organize and implement senior nights/days, and participate as members of the Torrey Booster Club. Positive, supportive, and energetic team parents are an important part of the Torrey athletic program.

Gifts from Parents, Vendors and Others

We recognize that parents, vendors, and others sometimes desire to express a wide variety of appreciation for our staff and faculty members, including thank you notes or cards, words of encouragement, gift cards, money, trips, tickets, faculty/staff luncheons, holiday remembrances and other gifts. The school appreciates the genuine spirit of generosity and appreciation for the exceptional work provided by

our outstanding faculty and staff.

While flattering and well deserved, such gifts unfortunately may also create issues for our faculty, staff, and school, such as the potential for a real or perceived conflict of interest, or the creation of inequities among departments, faculty and staff.

As a result, faculty and staff may not encourage gifts of any kind, nor may they receive gifts valued at over $100, from parents, vendors and others related to school activity.

Should parents, vendors and others generously wish to provide gifts valued at over $100, they may do so by working with the Development Office to make a gift to the Country Day Fund or a temporarily restricted fund in honor of a particular faculty, staff or department.

Code of Sportsmanship

Athletes, coaches, parents, and spectators are expected to represent Country Day in a manner that is consistent with good sportsmanship and strong character. Country Day will not tolerate any behavior by athletes, coaches, or spectators, either student or adult, whose behavior is disrespectful to players, officials, coaches, or other spectators or detracts from the proper conduct of the contest.

Parent/Student Communication with Coaches

When parents/students have concerns regarding a coach or his/her program it is

imperative that the parent/student follow the steps of resolution below:

1. Student-athlete contacts his/her coach.

2. Student-athlete contacts his/her head coach if not the same as #1.

3. Student-athlete contacts the athletic director.

4. Parent contacts student’s coach.

5. Parent contacts student’s head coach if not the same as #4.

6. Parent contacts the athletic director.

7. Parent contacts the head of school.

8. Parents should never contact the coach about their child’s issue or concern until after their child has met with his/her coach first.

Make an Appointment Productive communication can be made when parents make an appointment to speak with the coach at a time other than scheduled practice and/or contest time. Parents are never to approach a coach during or just before/after a practice or contest to discuss an issue of concern.

Page 39: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

39

Issues of Concern Parents are encouraged to discuss with their child’s coach:

the treatment of the student-athlete.

ways to help their child improve.

concerns over the student’s behavior.

the coach’s philosophy.

the coach’s expectations of the student and the team.

team philosophy and rules.

team discipline.

scheduling.

college participation.

Parents are not to discuss with the coach:

placement on teams (varsity, junior varsity, or novice).

playing time.

strategies used by the coach during contests.

other students.

Parent Coaching During Contests Country Day’s coaches are professionals who endeavor to provide an opportunity for the School’s student-athletes to experience meaningful growth, accomplishment, and success through the development of sound habits of mind, heart, and work that will allow each student to realize his/her fullest potential through participation in competitive sports (see Athletic Principles on p.9). As they coach during contests, they do so while teaching lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, goal setting, competition, overcoming adversity, and winning and losing while maintaining behavior consistent with the School’s Six Pillars of Character. Parents are to respect the position and mission of the coach and should never coach students (their child or others) from the sidelines or the stands during contests.

Parent Conduct

The importance of parents behaving as model spectators cannot be overstated. Parents who support the La Jolla Country Day School Code of Sportsmanship (p. 32) provide a role model for other parents and students alike. Parents who harass officials, make comments to others regarding the judgment decisions made by coaches, and/or coach from the sidelines or stands are counterproductive and destroy the values of good sportsmanship and the games themselves. The athletic director reserves the right to remove such parents from school contests either on the Country Day campus or away.

La Jolla Country Day School’s Fundamentals of Good Sportsmanship

Show respect for the opponent at all times. When opponents visit our

school, they should be treated as guests, greeted cordially on arriving, given appropriate accommodations, and accorded the tolerance, honesty, and generosity which all human beings deserve. When visiting another school, we should be cordial and appreciative of our host. Good sportsmanship is the Golden Rule in action.

Page 41: LJCDS Athletic Handbook 2015-2016

41

Show respect for the officials. The officials should be recognized as

impartial arbitrators who are trained to do their jobs and who can be expected to do them to the best of their abilities. Good sportsmanship implies the willingness to accept and abide by the decisions of the officials.

Know, understand, and uphold the rules of the contest. A familiarity with

the current rules of the game and the recognition of their necessity for a fair contest is essential. Good sportsmanship suggests the importance of conforming to the spirit as well as the letter of the rules.

Maintain self-control at all times. A prerequisite of good sportsmanship

requires one to understand his/her own bias or prejudice and the ability to prevent the desire to win from overcoming rational behavior. A proper perspective must be maintained if the potential educational values of athletic competition are to be realized. Good sportsmanship means proper behavior by all involved in the game.

Recognize and appreciate skill in performance regardless of affiliation.

Applause for an opponents’ good performance is demonstration of generosity and good will. The ability to recognize quality in performance and the willingness to acknowledge it without regard to team membership is one of the most commendable gestures of good sportsmanship.

CIF Pursuing Victory with Honors Policies,

Crowd Behavior and School’s Responsibilities

2. There can be no posters, chants, or cheers directed toward the opposing school or specific players on opposing school teams.

3. No noisemakers of any kind are allowed to be directed toward the opposing teams. Cheer squads cannot direct megaphones toward the field of play, at a specific player and cannot use megaphones as a noise maker directed at the opposing teams or players – for example banging megaphones on the floor during a free throw shot attempt. Fans cannot use noisemakers, megaphones directed toward another team, or player at any time.

4. Cheerleaders are to cheer positively for their school and players to assist in controlling crowd cheers and directing the crowd in a positive way to support their schools.

interests of the school and players are to be removed from the premises and their attendance at school events will be based on the determination of the school administration.

6. School ASB Advisors and ASB Council Officers present at the various athletic contests or other extra-curricular events are to reflect a positive attitude about their schools and refrain from any negative behavior directed at the opposing schools. They are to assist in crowd behavior by setting positive examples and assist, if called upon, with crowd control.

7. Music played over the PA systems must be school-appropriate and not contain songs that refer to drug/alcohol use; use racial, cursing, inappropriate slang; are demeaning or inciting against any group. School officials are to immediately stop this music if it is heard or reported.

Objectives of Middle School Athletics at Country Day

Allow all middle school students an opportunity to make a

commitment to Country Day team sports.

Teach fundamental sport skills and introduce game strategies.

Provide stimulating practice sessions and appropriate competition to allow

opportunity for the attainment of success.

Allow playing time in games and practices over the course of the

season so that maturity may be gained as an athlete. Every athlete plays in every contest unless being disciplined for behavior problems.

Introduce self-discipline and a strong work ethic as a means to fuel a de-

sire for achievement and excellence.

Recognize success and progress throughout the season as fundamental skills are mastered, as team unity develops, and as offensive and defensive concepts are realized in competition.

Middle School Athletic Awards

End of Season Awards

At the end of each season each middle school team will recognize up to three of its student-athletes. Middle school athletes are generally awarded in recognition of strong team building skills such as effort, “coachability”, and improvement.

Year-End Awards

Donald Pringle Memorial Award — Awarded at the end of the school year to the 8

th grade boy and girl who best demonstrate ability, desire, determination,

and sacrifice in the field of athletics.

Middle School Athletes Being Picked up by Parents After Home and Away Contests

1. MS student–athletes should bring everything they will need that night with them to their game. If they don’t want to haul it to the game they may leave belongings in the coaches office or locker room.

2. Parents should pick up their students only from the athletic parking lot, not the Genesee lot.

Upon returning to campus after away games, no middle school student should return to the middle school. If students have forgotten something, they may have their parents drive them around to the Genesee lot and they can run in to get what they need.

TORREY ALMA MATER

All hail, to Alma Mater praise,

To Country Day, our voice we raise.

Our loyalty we pledge to you,

With colors proud, the white and blue.

Memories of friendships made,

Through time and travel will not fade.

As years go by and pass away,

We pledge our hearts to Country Day.
