AHS uses a 3-strike policy in disciplinary action of our players. When a 3^rd strike occurs against a player, that player is dismissed from the team. The head coach may dismiss a player at anytime, however, if their actions demonstrate a severe violation of team or school rules. The following actions constitute a strike:

Unexcused absence of practice or game- each infraction counts as 1 strike. Practice is excused for church activities, illness, family emergency or tutoring at AHS. Anticipated absences should be made known to your head coach. If a player takes a vacation during the season where they miss practices or games, the trip is counted as 1 unexcused absence. Each practice or game that is missed will result in the player sitting out that total number of games when they return.

Loyalty and commitment are the most important words in our program! Commitment to rules, responsibilities and positive effort cannot be neglected for our program to be successful.

In-School Suspension Referral- a referral may mean that a player misses more than one day of practice. 1 referral represents 1 strike. A player is suspended for the number of games that represent the number of days in ISS.
Suspension from school- each day out of school counts as 1 strike. Player also misses number of games that represent number of days suspended. Make-up work must also be completed.
Failure to follow team rules and responsibilities- each infraction, as determined by the coach, will count as 1 strike.
Expulsion- results in immediate dismissal from team.

Players are required to do make-up work for every absence whether it is excused or unexcused. Make-up work is determined by the amount of time or days missed in practice. This work must be completed to be eligible for the next game. A player who misses part of practice for a detention hall will be given additional make-up work.

Unexcused absence of practice or game- each infraction counts as 1 strike. Practice is excused for church activities, illness, family emergency or tutoring at AHS. Anticipated absences should be made known to your head coach. If a player takes a vacation during the season where they miss practices or games, the trip is counted as 1 unexcused absence. Each practice or game that is missed will result in the player sitting out that total number of games when they return.
