GAA INFORMATION Purpose: To develop school spirit and support of the athletic program at St. Ursula Academy Activities: Include participation and planning of pep- rallies, a father daughter dance, a fall magazine drive, the sports banquets, a spring flower sale and the Dawg Squad. Meetings: Are held during activity periods two to four times per year and attendance is required. Membership: All St. Ursula students involved in sports are required to be in GAA, but membership is not limited to athletes. A GAA pledge form will be given to each student/athlete and is available through the club moderator. FACILITIES AND SERVICES A. Food in the Gym: No food or drinks, other than water, are allowed on the gym floor. Any water spilled on the floor should be dried up immediately. B. Late Practices: After games or practices at night, one coach is required to stay until all the athletes have been picked up and left the facility. The athletes should have their parents pick them up at the team meeting place immediately after practice. At SUA, the student-athletes must remain inside the building until their ride arrives. It is ultimately the responsibility of the parents or guardian to be on time to pick up the athlete after all games, meets, and practices. 29
