ALL ATHLETIC EVENTS PASS An “All Athletic Events” pass will be available to the general public for $60. This does not include admission to any playoff games or events sponsored by the KSHSAA. TRANSPORTATION ALL members of an athletic team should travel by transportation provided by USD 383 to an athletic event and return by the same means. Parent/guardian must provide a written statement and approval must be given by the coaching staff and/or AD’s office for a student athlete to have permission to ride home with his/her parent/guardian. The coaching staff will be in charge of all aspects of the athletic trip. ELIGIBILITY Any student athlete wishing to participate in a sport at Manhattan High School must have a parent consent and a physical examination form completed and turned into the athletic department before participation. A parent and the student athlete must have signed the Assumption and Acknowledgement of Risk form and the emergency medical permit which will be kept on file in the athletic office of the high school. The student athlete must be enrolled in and attending a minimum of at least five (5) new subjects (those not previously passed) and must have passed at least five (5) new subjects (those not previously passed), the previous semester and must receive credit for each class to be eligible. Enrolling in summer school does not regain a student's eligibility. CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE Student athletes are expected to attend all classes on game day. If a student-athlete is ill or has an unexcused absence from class on a game day, he/she will not be allowed to participate on that day. An exception on the day of a game would be made for a doctor's appointment, funeral, or religious observances of the student's own faith. If this violation is learned of after participation, then he/she will not play in the next contest. Unexcused absences on a game day is also a violation of KSHSAA rules. LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF EQUIPMENT/CLOTHING Should a player lose or alter the condition of any equipment/clothing in any manner other than normal wear, he/she will be required to pay for the replacement of the equipment/clothing. The coaching staff realizes that extenuating circumstances can exist and will remain cognizant of that fact. WITHDRAWING FROM A SPORT The proper way to withdraw from a sport is to make personal contact with the coach and communicate with him/her. By withdrawing from a sport, you forfeit your lettering award and your opportunity to join another program during that same sports season. LETTERING AND OTHER AWARDS Varsity letters are awarded according to school rules and regulations. Each coach will develop policies for lettering in their respective sport. All coaches reserve the right to deny anyone a varsity letter who is in violation of the school rules and regulations. SCHOOL ATHLETIC INSURANCE You must file all claims with your family carrier first. Student Assurance Services, Inc. is the carrier of our school insurance. USD 383 does provide some limited coverage for students injured during sports activities, but does not provide 100% coverage, nor is it intended to replace any medical coverage provided by the student’s parent or guardian. Anytime a student is involved in an accident or is injured during school hours and/or on school property, a student Injury Report must be completely filled out and signed by the supervising school official at the time of the accident. A copy of the report will be turned into the student’s home school. The Proof of Claim form and a copy of the Injury Report will be mailed to the student’s parent or guardian. Once the primary insurance carrier has denied coverage, please mail a copy of that denial, a copy of your actual bill (not a statement) and the forms we have sent to you to Student Assurance Services (their address is on the form). A physician must see the injured student within 60 days from the date the injury occurred. All claim forms must be sent to the insurance company within 90 days from the date of the injury. It is the responsibility of the parent to see that the claim form and all bills of verification of injury are sent to the insurance company. The school does not do this. For more information regarding coverage, please contact Jaime Gregory at Robinson Education Center at 587-2000.
