Download Upper School Athletics Guidebook Athletics Statement of Philosophy Girls learn much more than mere physical skills through their participation in athletics as they benefit from the values of discipline, dedication, selflessness and hard work derived from team participation. The collaborative experience of pursuing and attaining a common goal in athletics is unique as it is combined with interscholastic competition. Through this experience girls are able to develop courage as they take risks, strength while displaying finesse, competitive intensity while exhibiting generosity of spirit, and mental as well as physical endurance. While the focus is to facilitate the development of each girl’s athletic potential, the greater hope is to instill motivation to continue in life- long physical activity. Tigers’ Steps to Success • Facilitate each girl in becoming a better athlete and player of a given sport by maximizing her individual learning and creating opportunities for successful contributions to the team in a safe environment. • Increase self-awareness, self-efficacy and self-confidence through athletic participation. • Have each athlete learn to be her best self both in winning and in losing. • Understand and act in accordance with being totally committed to the team and to be an exemplary representative of the school. • Learn to work collaboratively and effectively with others. • Guide each girl to find her voice as a leader of her peers. • Find a love for movement activities and to instill intrinsic motivation to continue physical activity throughout one’s lifetime. Westridge Sports The Westridge Athletics program offers 12 sports and oversees student involvement in Equestrian through the Interscholastic Equestrian League (IEL) and the Saddle Seat and Western School League. Sports seasons are as follows: Fall Cross Country – JV and Varsity Golf – Varsity Tennis – JV and Varsity Volleyball – Freshman/Sophomore, JV and Varsity Winter Basketball - JV and Varsity Soccer - JV and Varsity Water Polo - JV and Varsity Spring Lacrosse – JV and Varsity Softball – Varsity Swimming & Diving - JV and Varsity Track & Field - JV and Varsity California Interscholastic Federation Westridge is a member of the California Interscholastic Federation of the Southern Section (CIF-SS). CIF is the governing body which oversees all sports in California. All rules and regulations pertaining to sports activities including everything from eligibility to playoff parings are overseen by CIF. Postings of playoff progress and information about each sport are located at http://www.cifss.org League Affiliation Westridge competes in the Prep League for the majority of sports offered. The league is comprised of Chadwick School, Flintridge Preparatory School, Mayfield Senior School, Polytechnic School, Providence High School (Burbank) and Rio Hondo Preparatory School. The Equestrian program is a member of the Interscholastic Equestrian League (IEL) and participates for Westridge during the four annual shows. Also, Westridge has students who have participated in the The Saddleseat and Western School League of Greater Los Angeles. Physical Education Credit Girls are required to take six semesters of physical education during their tenure at Westridge. Two sports equate to one full year of credit. Should girls wish to be in one sport, they will need to add another physical education class to fulfill their requirement for a given year. Westridge offers Physical Activity Credit should girls wish to continue with their club sport throughout the year. Additional information can be obtained by speaking with the Director of Upper School or the Director of Athletics. Commitment to Athletics Each athlete is required to practice Monday through Friday during the season and participate in all competitions. Due to scheduling outside of the Prep League, several sports will have competitions on Saturdays. Families need to plan around the athletics schedule during the season as attendance is mandatory. While Westridge does not currently require participation during the summer or off- season, it is a requirement that girls arrive to the first day of practice in competition-ready condition. Westridge offers physical conditioning after school year-round. It is critical to the success of the program that girls take advantage of this opportunity. Also, girls are encouraged to participate in sport camps, on club teams and to play their sport as much as possible throughout the year in order to develop their fundamental skills. The pursuit of athletic excellence is a daily commitment. Eligibility Westridge’s first commitment to each student is to provide an excellent education. In order to ensure that girls are achieving this goal, student-athletes must strive to maintain their GPA while competing. Should a student have a “C-“ or below in any two classes, she will not be eligible to practice or compete on a sports team as she will be on Academic Probation. Health/Athletic Trainer Certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA), an athletic trainer (ATC) is the member of the allied health community whose role is to care for and help prevent athletic-related injuries. At Westridge School, there is a certified athletic trainer on staff as the safety of our athletes is of the utmost importance. The priority of the athletic trainer is to provide on-site care for practices and contests. The athletic trainer will supply a first aid kit/bag for all sport teams which will include health and emergency contact information. In the event that an athlete sustains an injury, it is her responsibility to communicate with the coach and/or athletic trainer immediately after the injury is sustained. The athletic trainer will then evaluate the injury and give treatment instructions to the athlete and reiterate them to the parent(s)/guardian and coach. If the athlete’s injury limits her participation in practices or games, the athletic trainer will inform the coaches and parent(s)/guardian and direct the family to seek further medical attention. In most cases, the injured athletes will be required to attend practice as an observer until she can resume full participation. If the athletic trainer is treating an athlete for an injury, it is that athlete's responsibility to arrange for and attend the treatment session at the designated time. Athletes who need to be taped or treated for an injury must do so in a timely manner prior to practice/competition or before the bus leaves for competition. If an athlete sees a physician regarding an injury, the athlete must present a signed physician release form to the athletic trainer or Director of Athletics before she is allowed to resume practice or participate in competition. Strength and Conditioning Westridge offers year-round weight training and conditioning every day after school from 3:15 – 5:15 p.m. For those students who are not participating during a given season, we strongly encourage daily training to better prepare our athletes. Communication The Department of Athletics wishes to encourage open dialogue pertaining to any aspect of your daughter’s or your experience related to a given sports team. Concomitantly, we wish to empower each girl to represent herself should a conflict occur. Girls are encouraged to first talk directly with their coaches should they have questions or concerns. If the issue is not resolved the athlete may then wish to speak with the Director of Athletics. Should the issue in question continue, at that time it is appropriate for the parent(s)/guardian to be involved. Expectations for Coaches Coaches are hired to disseminate information pertaining to their sport, assess individual talent, determine game strategies, guide individual improvement, motivate the team, foster leadership and provide a safe environment for our athletes. While coaches are to be positive role models for the girls and friendly in their manner, they are not “friends” of the girls. As such, coaches are not allowed to correspond with student-athletes using personal email, cell phones or be members of social networks with Westridge students. Westridge provides all coaches with a Westridge email address. Coaches are encouraged to foster team-bonding activities during practices or after competitions if scheduled in advance (e.g. In-N-Out Burger after the Chadwick game). Team members enjoy dinners and parties outside of Westridge, but should be aware that coaches are not allowed to participate. Coaches may attend one team event during the season (e.g. pasta party) as long as parents are present, the event is for the entire team and the Director of Athletics has been notified in advance. Parent Role Parents are our greatest advocates as they inspire excellence in their daughters and seek the same in our Athletics program. We encourage parents to foster their daughter’s athletic passion by enrolling them in camps and clinics as appropriate and to encourage their daughter’s to try several sports during their Upper School years. The most critical role that parents play in their daughter’s athletic development is to be a voice of positive encouragement – girls tend to be very self critical and need ongoing positive feedback to offset this predisposed style. Girls are also acutely aware of “false-positives” which demeans their performance as it is disingenuous. While not every performance can be stellar, constructive criticism housed in positive feedback will facilitate the athlete’s development. Additionally, parents should first and foremost be parents by supporting their daughter’s efforts with positive feedback – coaching during the game should be left solely to the coaching staff. Parent Liaison This year we are requesting a parent volunteer from each team who is willing to communicate to the Director of Athletics on a regular basis. The goal is to work in partnership with our parents in order to have the best athletics program possible. Logistics Forms All parents and athletes will complete the CIF-SS Code of Ethics, Westridge Athletics contract and Concussion Information sheet annually in order to participate in the Athletics program.

  • Dear Applicant Families
    Dear Applicant Families, As independent schools, we are varied in our educational philosophies and programs but united in our commitment to ethical practices in our admission offices. The Heads of the undersigned Los Angeles schools have agreed to the following principles of good practice for K – 12 admissions: In order to minimize timing dilemmas for applicant families, we have agreed to these common notification and reply dates for fall 2017 admission: Grades 9-12: Notification letters will be sent on Friday, March 10, 2017 Email notifications can be sent at 5pm on Friday, March 10, 2017 Replies will be due on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 Grades K-8: Notification can be sent on Friday, March 17, 2017 Email notifications can be sent starting at 5pm on Friday, March 17, 2017 Replies will be due on Monday, March 27, 2017 Once notifications have been sent, schools will not initiate visits, whether for individuals or groups (e.g., through open houses). We are mindful of the disruption to students’ education in their current schools that additional visits to prospective schools can cause, so we do not encourage such visits. However, schools that receive requests for newly admitted students and/or parents may grant those requests at their discretion. No applicant or applicant family will be contacted by any representative of the school – once admissions notification begins. Of course, admitted students and their parents are welcome to contact schools to have questions answered. We share an interest in making the independent school application experience as informative and enjoyable as possible. And we are joined in our conviction that the independent school world can offer unique and rich educational opportunities for young people.

ABSTRACT The Community College Coach: Leadership Practices and Athlete Satisfaction Community college coaches and athletes completed the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), to assess the leader­ ship practices of coaches of various sports. Soccer coaches and their athletes were also surveyed to assess the impact of the congruence of leadership practices ratings upon athlete satisfaction. Two samples were taken from Spring and Fall, 1998 sports: (a) 225 full-time head coaches of team sports in which there was a male and female equivalent in California's community colleges, and (b) 280 men's and women's soccer athletes.

  • Framing Student-Athlete Compensation: a Thematic Analysis of California Senate Bill 206
    Framing Student-Athlete Compensation: A Thematic Analysis of California Senate Bill 206 Jocelyn Irene Hotter Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Communication Chelsea L. Woods, Chair Marcus C. Myers Nneka J. Logan May 7, 2020 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: NCAA, Compensation, Framing, California Senate Bill 206 Framing Student-Athlete Compensation: A Thematic Analysis of California Senate Bill 206 Jocelyn Irene Hotter ACADEMIC ABSTRACT The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has controlled intercollegiate sports for the past 150 years, but the passing of California Senate Bill 206 on September 30, 2019, placed that power at risk. The bill will allow student-athletes to receive compensation for their name, image and likeness in the state of California, and has influenced other states to bring forth legislation of their own. The NCAA announced on October 29, 2019, that it would change its policies and bylaws to allow student-athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness. This qualitative thematic analysis seeks to discover how the issue of student-athletes in the case of SB 206 was framed by the media before and after the bill was passed, and after the NCAA announced its policy change. From the analysis, three themes emerged to support student-athlete compensation, eight themes emerged in opposition, and 24 sub themes emerged for both sides. Anti-compensation framing strategies prevailed throughout news coverage before and after SB 206 passed, and after the NCAA changed its policy. Local and mainstream news outlets and sports and mainstream news outlets all presented the eight themes.

    Chadwick Schools develop global citizens with keen minds, exemplary character, self-knowledge and the ability to lead. ANNUAL REPORT 26800 South Academy Drive, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA 90274-3997 www.chadwickschool.org 2015-16 OUR GRATITUDE And the gifts that launched 4,000 lives. In 1935, Margaret Lee Chadwick started on the path to make her educational vision a reality— to establish a K-12 coeducational school whose graduates would develop keen minds, exemplary character, self-knowledge and the ability to lead. Soon, transformative gifts from Frank Vanderlip, Sr., and Fred and Edna Roessler put Chadwick School on the map, and the school flourished. Now in its 80th year, Chadwick boasts campuses in both Palos Verdes and Songdo, South Korea, with more than 4,000 alumni throughout the world. Our alumni include Rhodes and Fulbright ON THE COVER scholars, research scientists and doctors, visual and performing artists, Olympians, authors, Director of the Upper School Mark Wiedenmann, Gabi Martinez ’18 and Myles Rosenzweig ’18 and leaders in business, law and technology. With every entering Chadwick student and family, the impact of the original gifts—and those of all of our generous parents, alumni, trustees, faculty and friends—increases. Our gratitude grows as well for each member of the Chadwick community whose support brings the school’s mission to life.

As the Munich Memorial Project progressed, it became clear to us a story of healing and justice lay at the center of this effort to remember the slain Israeli athletes and coaches from the ‘72 Summer Olympics in Munich. We formed a team of filmmakers and traveled to Europe to interview the widows and children of the Israeli athletes. Their stories of grief, longing for justice, and dedication to honoring the lives of their killed loved ones are both difficult and important to hear. These stories are also the basis of our new short documentary titled, “Munich ’72 and Beyond.” Stay tuned to see this documentary in the coming months. 2015 was also year of strengthening connections with our many grant recipients, such as the World Curling Federation and the International Paralympic Committee. We were happy to join these groups as sponsors of events such as the Olympic Celebration Tour and the 2015 Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships in Buffalo.
