Commitment/Dedication/Cooperation

At Carpenter we believe that a student who chooses to participate in athletics has also chosen to work hard to become the best athlete possible. We believe that for a team to be successful each athlete must commit themselves to the team and follow the team's policies to ensure fairness and effective teamwork.

ATHLETIC PERIOD :
8th Grade athletics will be held before school and during 1st period, while 7th Grade athletics will be held during 7th period and after school. 

TRYOUTS:
Any student interested in football should contact Coach McCord about being moved into Athletics. All forms must be completed and signed prior to tryouts or practice. Tryouts are held for basketball, tennis, and volleyball. There are no tryouts for football or track.

EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING:
The Athletic Department will provide all equipment except shoes (cleats), socks, and jocks or tights.

BAD WEATHER DAYS:
When bad weather does not allow us to practice outside, we will practice inside a gym. Athletes need to keep a pair of tennis shoes in their locker for this occasion (since cleats may not be worn on the gym floor).

GAME CANCELLATION DUE TO WEATHER:
This decision will be made late in the day, and the front office will be notified as soon as a decision has been made.
