Athletics

• Passing grades and a good Honor level are required for participation.
• If your athlete is going to miss a practice, please email the coach directly to excuse their absence. According to the WIAA, players with two unexcused absences will be removed from the team. See attendance guidelines in the NTPS Athletic Code.

• Practices are held after school, Monday–Friday from 4:00–5:30 pm (2:45–4:15 pm on ACT Wednesdays)
• Athletes must participate in 8 practices to be eligible for games.
• Families are not allowed to stay and watch practices for safety and to avoid distractions. Families are allowed to speak to the coach only after practice has ended.
• Athletes must attend all practices and be on time.
• Please be on time to pick up your athlete. If athletes are picked up late more than once, the coach may release the athlete from the team. Please respect their time.

• Jerseys will be handed out each season for students to use. They must be returned at the end of the season.
• There is a $15 replacement fee for non-returned jerseys or replacements.
• Athletes need to have their own shorts, all black, or all blue.
• If sports equipment and gear are issued, they must be returned at the end of the season or the student will be assessed a fine.
• Athletes must have proper footwear and equipment with them each day for practice and games.
• Tank tops should not be worn, and all school dress codes still apply.

• All athletes have to ride with their team on the bus to and from their destination.
• If a parent or legal guardian wants to take an athlete home after the game, they MUST sign their athlete out with the coach in order to leave with them.
• Any guardian taking home someone else’s child from a game can only do so if the coach has a signed note from the athlete's parent/guardian PRIOR to the beginning of the game. A child not signed out properly may not be able to compete in the next away game, or may even be released from the team.
• For home games, it is not necessary for an athlete to be signed out after a game.

All 6th grade students can participate in intramural sports. Activities will take place every Monday, Thursday, and Friday at 8:00 am during the month of January 2025.
