Albritton Middle School

Policy on Sports Practice Sessions

               We believe that the athletic program is a very important part of the school curriculum at Albritton Middle School.   Our coaches give many hours of their time in the evening to work with students.  However, they cannot supervise students for extended periods of time beyond the scheduled practice sessions.

            All students who participate in sports at Albritton Middle School must be picked up promptly following practice sessions.  Coaches are not on duty status after the close of the sessions, but will remain for fifteen minutes following the practice sessions to ensure that all students are supervised.  Students who have not been picked up at the end of fifteen minutes will be brought to the main office.  If a student is left after the fifteen-minute grace period more than two times, that student will be removed from the team.  This policy will be enforced at Albritton to ensure the safety of all students who participate in sports events.  NO student should be left unsupervised on school grounds.

            Because we realize that emergencies arise, we have provided two exceptions to policy before students will be removed from a team.  Coaches will dismiss practice sessions promptly so that parents will not have to wait.  Dismissal times for each sport are listed below.
