Participation on an athletic team is a privilege, not a right. Student-athletes are expected to demonstrate good work and behavior habits. The Southampton Athletic Department requires all of its participants to agree to and abide by the student-athlete code of conduct.
An offense by any student-athlete who is found in possession of and/or using alcohol or any illegal substance any time during the year – whether in school or out of school – will be suspended from events for a minimum of two weeks in addition to any out-of-school suspension received. The student-athlete may still practice with the team during the athletic suspension. A conference will be held between the student-athlete, his/her parents/guardians, the coach, and the Director of Athletics. The student-athlete will have the option to participate in a counseling program and may be subject to random drug testing.
A student-athlete who serves an in-school suspension or is sent out of class two or more times during the day will not be able to practice or play that day. The student-athlete will not be able to play in any games for one week after serving the in-school suspension, but will be able to practice with the team. The student-athlete will miss a maximum of two games during the period of in-school suspension and through the ensuing week.
A student-athlete suspended out-of-school will miss all practices and games while out of school and will not be able to play in any games for one week (maximum two games) after returning from suspension. The student will be able to practice as soon as he/she returns from the out-of-school suspension.
Any involvement with the police that results in an arrest any time during the year – in school or out of school – will result in a disciplinary review. The student-athlete who has engaged in conduct which is disorderly, insubordinate, and/or endangers the health, safety, or welfare of him/herself or others will be subject to suspension from all athletic contests, as determined by the Title IX Coordinator. The student-athlete will be allowed to practice with the team during that time, if not suspended from school.
Hazing in any form is strictly forbidden by New York State law. Hazing of any kind is not allowed on the campus or in athletics.
The Student-Athlete Code of Conduct Training and Behavior Rules are in effect from July 1 to June 30 of each school year, and cover twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. The suspension will be for the sport in which the student participates and may carry to his/ her next sport of participation. All appeals are to be made in writing to the building principal. An appeals committee consisting of the principal and two varsity coaches of a different sport who are not part of the first decision will make the final decision.
