Students must be in attendance at school for at least half the day or by 12 noon to be eligible to participate in that day’s practice or contest. If your student is ill, please e-mail or call the coach to let him or her know your child will be missing that day’s activities. If your student is going to miss school on a competition day for an appointment, you must call the SCA Office and excuse your student ahead of time or in the morning. Notifying just the coach will not be sufficient.

Generally, practices are held Monday-Friday. Practice times vary but are usually 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm for 6-8th grade students and 3:30 pm – 6:00 pm for HS students. Some sports will practice in the morning before school, from 6:00 am – 8:00 am depending on the weather, logistics or coaches’ preference.
The school transports athletes by bus to competitions. If a parent wants to transport their son/daughter home following a contest, the parent needs to find the coach and initial next to their student’s name on the roster. If someone other than a parent is taking the student home, that parent must speak to see the head coach directly to have a student ride with another adult.
Check team app. This is our main form of communication with athletics. If there is a last minute change, still check team app or call the office at 229-883-5677 if unsure. It is our goal to communicate cancellations and other events via team app.
All uniforms and equipment checked out or given to the student by coach for seasons are totally the player’s and family’s responsibility- If the uniform is damaged or irreplaceable the cost is assumed by the athlete.
