In your program what does it take for you to dismiss a kid from the team? I once heard a very successful coach say he wouldn't remove kids and I understand his reasoning. With that said there has to be a line somewhere.

Every school I coached at had an Athletic Handbook that contained policies for eligibility, training rules, etc.
Beyond those only things I can think of are chronic absenteeism or tardiness.

I dont think we ever removed a kid from the team. The most extreme example was there was a kid caught smoking dope in the parking lot before school. The head coach talked with the school board and the kids parents, and we kept him on the team his entire Junior year. He wasn't allowed to play in any games but had to attend every practice.
That specific example I think worked out for the best. It gave the kid something to do, kept him out of trouble and was a constant reminder of how bad choices have consequences.

VERY rarely do we kick a kid off the team. But, the general rule is that any time a kid has shown that he is doing irreparable damage to the team consistently without regard then he is dismissed. A few years ago, we had a kid who stole from his teammates in the locker room. He did it twice and out the door he went. Things like that can't go without being taken care of.

We removed two kids from the team this year after giving them numerous chances (this year and previous years) to correct their behaviour and actions.
Both were kicked off for using drugs (witnessed by coaches), skipping classes and not showing up for the remediation set forward by the HC and Principal. It was a situation where enough was enough and that there needed to be consequences for their actions.

Level 3 referral (fighting, stealing, bullying, sexual misconduct)
Go MIA
Caught or caught in a picture drinking/doing drugs

Stealing and sexual misconduct are pretty cut and dry I feel. There have been a number of times when a kid has been accused of bullying that I wouldn't call bullying. I'm just making sure I understand the policy as it is. |

I have removed 2 kids in 9 years. Both didn't want to be there anyway and were a poison.

I'm just making sure I understand the policy as it is. To actually get a "bullying" referral here, it takes like a 20 page documents, the cops, and 10 days of investigation. We don't have many REAL bullying referrals. Maybe 1-2 a year. A level 3 fight is like punches/kicks and blood down here in FL. Drugs will be a level 4 anyway, can't play football here with a level 4. College prep school. |
