VII. Code of Conduct
OKEMOS HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC CODE
Representing OHS in interscholastic athletic competition is a privilege and not a right. Students
who participate in interscholastic athletics are expected to represent the highest ideals of
character by exemplifying good conduct, sportsmanship, citizenship and training, which includes
abstaining from the use of tobacco, alcohol, illegal or unprescribed drugs. The student’s conduct
and sportsmanship reflect on the student athlete, his or her team, our school, and our community.
When a student participates in interscholastic athletics, he/she agrees to abide by the Athletic
Code throughout his/her high school career. A student may not attend try-outs or practice with a
team until he/she has submitted a signed acknowledgment form agreeing to comply with the
Athletic Code. This Athletic Code applies to candidates, members, and managers of all athletic
teams.
OHS is in the Blue Division of the Capital Area Activities Conference. Other members of the
Division are East Lansing, Grand Ledge, Holt, Jackson, Lansing Eastern, Lansing Everett and
Lansing Sexton.
Calendar Application of the Athletic Code
The Athletic Code will be enforced as to all students from the first day of practice (including tryouts) for any Fall sports team until the conclusion of the 6th hour final examination period of the
Spring semester. For teams or individual athletes who compete beyond the conclusion of the
academic year, the Athletic Code will extend through the season, post-season and awards night
for that team. A student who violates the Athletic Code will be subject to disciplinary action as
outlined in the Code.
a.
Time/Place Application of the Athletic Code
The Athletic Code is not limited to student conduct at school-sponsored activities
or on school property. Rather, the Athletic Code applies on a 24 hour basis and
has no limitation as to the place of conduct.
b.
"In-Season" and "Off-Season" Penalty
1) "In-season" is the first day of practice (including try-outs) for the team on which
the athlete participates until the season, post-season and awards night for that
team are completed. With the athletic director, each team’s coach shall designate
the first day of the team’s season.
