ASP ATHLETIC MISSION


At the American School of Paris we believe there is more to an athletic program than the fi nal score. We strive for competitive excellence but also for the personal development of our student athletes by helping them learn and understand the importance of commitment, attitude, sportmanship, teamwork and communication in an international setting, both on and off the fi eld. Working with professional coaches, educators and the wider ASP community, our program fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment; whether it’s improving their personal best, perfecting a skill or being an exemplary houseguest when visiting other international schools.We are proud that our athletes are respected internationally both for their achievements and their sportsmanship. We hope our athletes have fun, win humbly and lose graciously.

Dear Athletes and Parents,

would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the ASP Athletic Program. At ASP, athletics is an integral part of the total educational program. It is essential that all involved - athletes, parents, coaches, administrators - act responsibly and cooperatively to ensure that all our athletic programs run smoothly.This handbook has been assembled to give you the guidelines for your role as a host family and as parents of athletes in the ASP Athletic Program. We have included duplicate copies of necessary contracts and forms for

your information and convenience.We have the opportunity to host and be hosted by families from other international schools, to learn about their

school, their culture and thus gain experience beyond the sports activity. It is your responsibility to be welcoming hosts.The success of any athletic program is built upon a combined effort from parents, students and staff, with some basic

rules which obviously must be adhered to at all times. The most important element in taking part in athletic activities is a fair and enjoyable environment.

In the interest of the well being of the ASP sports program we would like to share with you the ISST Statement of Sportsmanship:

The purpose of the International School Sports Tournament is to provide a venue for athletes from the member schools to compete in an environment that is safe, challenging, professional, and educational. Each athlete is given the opportunity to demonstrate his or her best athletic ability while maintaining a spirit of respect and cooperation with fellow athletes from various international backgrounds.Each event involves students and adults in their different roles: these include the athletes, coaches, sports offi cials, and spectators. All those involved in the event are expected to uphold the same spirit of respect and cooperation. This spirit is demonstrated by fair play among athletes, positive encouragement from coaches, impartial judgments from offi cials, and respectful enthusiasm from spectators. The behavior of the adults is crucial to the successful educational aspect of the tournament.The adults act as models for our athletes. Therefore, profanity, deliberately distracting noises to interfere with the performance of a competing athlete, the condemnation of coaches or offi cials, or any behavior that is disrespectful or degrading to the ISST standard of sportsmanship, jeopardizes the purpose of the ISST organization and, most of all, jeopardizes the quality of the experience for our athletes.As the event ensues, we ask that all of our parents, coaches, offi cials and athletes keep this vision of our purpose in mind.”

We would like to embrace this statement as a framework for our athletic program at every level at ASP.I wish all athletes success in their endeavors and all parents enriching experiences watching their children enjoy

athletics at ASP.If there are any concerns please direct them to the Athletic Director.

Yours in Sport, Han Hoegen, Athletic Director Cathy McLaury, Secretary

SPORTING YEAR

THE

The year is divided into three seasons with sports offered at Varsity & Junior Varsity levels.Students in grades 8-12 are eligible to try-out for the Varsity teams (when cuts have to be made and student’s abilities

are equally matched, Upper School students will have preference over 8th grade students).Those in grades 8-11 can try out for the Junior Varsity teams (in Cross Country, Swimming and Track & Field 7th graders are also eligible). Varsity teams practice from 3:40 pm to 6:00 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Junior Varsity teams practice in the same time slot on Tuesday and Thursday.

Those students chosen to represent the school at the Varsity level (and at JV level in Cross Country, Swimming and Track & Field) will participate in the International School Sports Tournament (ISST) at the end of each season. This tournament, founded 41 years ago, is attended by 12 of the largest American/ International schools in Europe and is hosted in a different city each year. The Varsity and Junior Varsity teams will also make trips to ISST schools and we in turn will host ISST schools during the season.

All information concerning the Athletic Program is updated regularly on the ASP Athletics website:www.asparis.org/athletics

HOST FAMILY'S RESPONSABILITIES

These guidelines are intended for the use of parents hosting regular weekend meets as well as tournaments sponsored by ASP or by the International Schools Sports Tournament (ISST). During the period of

competition, you stand in place of the parents of the student(s) you host. Please extend to them the same supervision and care that you would normally exercise with your own child(ren).During the school year, ASP will be hosting visiting teams for interscholastic competition. Housing for these teams is the responsibility of ASP families. All ASP athletes taking part in competition are required to assist in the housing of visiting athletes. Should a family be unable to meet their obligation to host, they are responsible for fi nding an alternative host. This should be the exception rather than the norm.Under no circumstances are the visiting athletes to be housed without adult supervision.All host families should understand the ISST rules and regulations and ensure their own child(ren) and visiting athletes are aware of them. All rules and regulations come into effect from the time the visiting team leaves their school until the time they return home.They are also in effect for the home athletes. ISST Rules and Regulations are included in this packet.Any violation of these rules and regulations must be reported to the Athletic Director at once.Specifi c times and schedules will be given to athletes by

their coaches. A housing list with telephone numbers will be provided to each visiting athlete which will include the phone number of host families and a number where coaches can be contacted, as well as other numbers that may be helpful in an emergency.Athletes are not permitted to change housing arrangements. Guests are expected to respect all “house rules”.Host families are required to make contact with athletes at the end of their respective games. Visiting athletes can be brought home by your child(ren) on the regular school bus if the schedule allows, or on the late bus if available. You are responsible for suitable transportation of the athlete(s) that you are hosting.All visiting athletes should be given a small card with the host family’s name, telephone number and address. Wherever possible, visiting athletes should be accompanied by an adult/host family when visiting the local area. The host athletes should always accompany the visiting athletes.All guest athletes should be provided with a packed lunch for their return journey. During their stay with ASP host families, athletes should be provided with a suitable evening meal and breakfast.

Remember that as a host family you are “in loco parentis”.

For those of you new to the international school system, we would like to explain a bit about how the sport weekends work. The majority of our opponents are other international/American schools throughout Europe. We are a member of the International School Sports Tournament (ISST’s) and are governed by their rules and guidelines. For more information and a list of participating schools, their website is www.isstsports.org.

Probably the biggest and most shocking difference for those of you not familiar with our system is the practice of housing visiting athletes. Since teams travel a long distance, travel is done on Friday during the day (the athletes miss school). The visiting team arrives at the host school around 3:00-3:30, play games Friday afternoon, are housed by the host athletes on Friday night, play again Saturday morning and return to Paris Saturday afternoon/evening. This is a wonderful opportunity for both the

visiting athlete and the host family.

Housing visiting athletes is a requirement for our athletes. We know there are many people who live in small apartments. Please understand that sleeping bags, couches, mattresses, etc. are FINE! We have late buses running into the city after games on Friday nights if transportation is a problem! The bottom line is that we cannot compete if we cannot house.When a visiting team comes to Paris for

HOST ATHLETE'S RESPONSABILITIES

Any student accepting membership on an athletic team at ASP should have a clear understanding of the hosting responsibilities that ASP accepts as a member of the ISST. Athletes are required to

provide accommodations for students who are visiting ASP to participate in either tournaments or weekend events where an overnight stay is required. Athletes are also required to attend their sports banquet at the end of the season.All ASP athletes are required to host 2-4 athletes per home game. Understandably, visiting athletes (like our own students) prefer to be housed with a friend and the ideal situation is for the host family to take a pair of visitors. If there are extenuating circumstances and you are unable to host a student for game, you should inform your coach as soon as possible, but this should be a rare exception. Please make sure that your game schedule is discussed with your parents before committing to your coach and team. You will receive a detailed schedule of home and away events from your coach. The home weekends

will be clearly indicated.All ASP athletes must be punctual for the scheduled pick-up times. Athletes should introduce themselves to their guest(s), be friendly and make their guest(s) feel at home.All arrangements for after the game should be discussed with visiting athletes and ASP athletes should inform their parents of these arrangements.It is neither friendly nor advisable to plan social activities which exclude your guest. Avoid these types of confl icts.Curfew applies to all students participating in ISST games whether home or away. Please remember this as well as other ISST rules and regulations when looking after your guest.Breaches of the ASP and/or ISST athletic code and rules and regulations will result in suspension from the team.Please be sure that you understand ISST rules and regulations and your obligation to the ASP and the Athletic Program before completing the Athletic Contract.

a weekend of sports, our families host the visiting athletes. Everyone must agree to host visiting athletes, or to fi nd alternative housing for their share of the home weekends.

● We always house in pairs (or groups of 3 or 4) so that no visiting athlete is housed without a teammate. Everyone is asked at the beginning of the season which home weekends they would be available to house. If you mark all the

weekends, this does not mean you will house every weekend, but it gives us some fl exibility when planning.● Each athlete will need to house ½ of the home weekends. Obviously, if we have an odd number of weekends, some athletes will house one extra weekend. We do our best to be fair about housing, and if an athlete participates in another sport we take their previous season housing into consideration.

● We house per athlete, not per family. This means that if you have more than one athlete you should plan on housing every home weekend (1/2 of the home weekends for each athlete). Again, we keep track of who is housing, and if you are not needed every weekend, you will be the fi rst off the list.● Please see the sections “Host Family Responsibilities” and “Host Athlete’s Responsibilities” for more information.

VARSITY & JV /9VARSITY & JV VARSITY & JV //999VARSITY & JV /9


Thank you for agreeing to serve as a team parent. The role of team parent grew out of a desire to improve communication. Since this is a “developing” position we would appreciate your feedback regarding

how to make this position more effective next year. The following information will hopefully help you in your role of “team parent” and meet our goal of improved communication.

Attend Sports Booster meetings. These are held 1. one a month at school during the day and you will be notifi ed of where and when. This is the best way to fi nd out what is currently happening with the athletic program so that you will be a good resource person for “your team”.

Upon receiving your “team list” please call each 2. family and introduce yourself. Invite the parents to attend games (this is SO important to our athletes), Sports Booster meetings, and volunteer to help in support areas such as concessions, social activities, sportswear sales, end of the year banquet and athlete transportation.

Explain to parents that if they have questions 3. regarding game schedules, away game plans, traveling to away games, housing, etc., they should call the person in charge. It is best if parents call Han Hoegen, the Athletic Director, or Cathy McLaury, Secretary, regarding schedule and travel questions.

Act as your team’s “ambassador”. Try to solve 4. problems. Take a neutral position and be a good “sounding board” when concerns arise. Direct the

concerns to the appropriate individuals so that the participation of our students in the Athletic Program is an enjoyable experience for all.

Organize a “special event”. Some “special things” 5. team parents have done in the past (these are NOT required, just ideas): Bring a special refreshment to the game/meet, i.e. orange slices, Gator Aid, hot cocoa, granola bars. Coordinate the purchase of special team wear, i.e. personalized sweatshirts, hair bows, etc. Coordinate a contingency of parents to travel to an away game/meet together (this is a great way to support the team, see other countries, and get to know other parents). Host a team gathering at your home for “team bonding” and building team spirit. The sky is the limit on what you can do to show your team support!!!!!

Lastly, team parents may or may not be the same 6. person as the parent of the team captains. If not, you may want to touch base with the team captain’s parents. Sometimes the team captain, along with their parents, get gifts for coaches, etc. to present at the end of the year. You may want to coordinate those efforts, if possible. In regard to a coach’s gift, this is something that is voluntary and individual but it should be an appropriate gift (no alcoholic beverages, please). More information will be shared regarding the end of the year Athletic Banquet that is being planned for all athletes and their families.

Thank you for taking on this responsibility. It is with your help that we will make the Athletic Program at ASP even better than it already is.

ISST RULES

T eams should be adequately supervised during travel to host tournament sites. A ratio of one chaperone/coach to every 10 students is recommended. Whatever guideline is used there should always be a minimum of 2 adult chaperones/coaches for each group involved in ISST play.

At least one chaperone/coach should be with the students until they are turned over to host school parents or until the host school has accepted the responsibility by dismissing the chaperone/coach. When the letter is done, all students must be fully aware of who is responsible for them and that the instructions of this person are to be followed.The host school should make every effort to discourage parents staying in the coaches’ hotel with students.The host school has the right to refuse housing to those visiting students who have failed to comply with the spirit and intent of ISST code of conduct.In the event that a host school refuses to house a student or students, no alternative housing arrangement should be made until the chaperone/coach has been directly communicated with and told why the decision had been made. As a matter of courtesy the host school should discuss with the chaperone/coach what the best alternative arrangements for housing are available for the dismissed student(s) while the decision regarding the student’s involvement in championship play is being made.As a matter of professional courtesy the host school headmaster, upon deciding not to house an entire team, should make every effort to contact the dismissed team’s headmaster to discuss the reasons for failing to house and to discuss the alternative arrangements for the team.Only the tournament director or the team’s coach or headmaster has the right to dismiss a student or team from tournament play.Host schools planning activities for arriving teams (e.g. sightseeing trips) should make certain that these plans have been fully discussed with and understood by the visiting school’s chaperone/coach and/or headmaster before the team leaves for ISST play.Visiting students are advised not to bring alcohol to their host family as signs of appreciation.All visiting students should be aware of the following points as consideration to host schools:1. Respect the school's program in progress and do nothing that would interrupt it2. Visiting students should not wear clothes that may offend3. The use of portable "music boxes" is not permitted at ISST events

Host school administrators and teachers are the “bosses” of their territory and should be respected whenever they speak or give directions to visiting teams or their individual members.Visiting chaperones/coaches will be expected to play supervisory roles on a shared or equitably assigned basis in the planned student activities for after tournament play sponsored by the host school.During tournament play, chaperones/coaches must be responsible and accountable for the behavior of their students. Players are not permitted to leave tournament sites without the permission of the chaperone/coach or the tournament director.Athletes are to wear the offi cial school issued uniform. Schools should ensure that the uniforms and uniform accessories conform to the respective sport according to the ISST adopted rule book. Uniforms should have legal numbers in sports where numbers are required.Uniform accessories such as T-shirts, running tights, spandex tights, spandex shorts, headbands, gloves, etc. are permitted provided that:

They conform to the rules of the respective game.• They are of a solid color.• All like uniform accessories worn by team • members are of the same color.

Under no circumstances are boxer shorts or cut-offs permitted to be visible below the uniform shorts.Schools are encouraged to provide a school issued uniform for tennis. If a school does not have a standard issued uniform for tennis, traditional tennis clothing (shorts or skirt plus a tennis shirt) must be worn. No cut-offs, “Jams” beachwear, offensive T-shirts, etc. may be worn.Athletic Directors are responsible for ensuring that their coaches are informed of the standards of dress and that their athletes are properly attired.The host school Athletic Director has the power to require athletes to change their dress when violations of the above occur.The standards of dress, as provided by the rules of the respective sport and the ISST, apply to all weekend meetings between member schools as well as ISST sponsored tournaments.ISST strongly urges member schools to adopt policies that prohibit students/athletes from drinking alcohol, smoking and using other tobacco products at any time-honored events. ISST supports member schools in their enforcement of these policies.

SAMPLE ASP ATHLETIC CODE

As a student athlete at ASP you have a distinctive and important place in modeling for others the values of respect, re-sponsibility and honesty which are the principles we believe create a pleasant and productive environment in which to live and learn. Being chosen as a member of a sports team is an honor and a privilege. Please read the Athletic Code carefully before signing.

Student Conduct and Behavior – Athletes are expected to conduct themselves at all times in such a manner as to

reflect credit on themselves, ASP and the school community. Behavior and/or conduct that reflect badly on the school, even if they occur in non-athletic situations, may constitute grounds for suspension or dismissal from the team, depending on the gravity of the offense.

Smoking, Drinking, Drugs – In accordance with ASP and ISST guidelines, smoking, any other use of tobacco, the

drinking of alcohol and the use of drugs are not permitted. If a violation of the Athletic Code is witnessed by a member of staff during the season, the athlete will be removed from the team immediately. If a violation of the athletic code occurs during an away sports trip, the coach will make one of the follow-ing decisions in addition to the immediate removal from the team: Notify the parents and place the athlete on the next available plane/train to Paris at the athlete’s expense. Remove the athlete from the host school housing and place him/her in a hotel at the athlete’s expense. Allow the athlete to remain on the trip but not take part in the activities. Upon returning to ASP future participation in athletic activities will be evaluated.

Attendance – Attendance is mandatory at practices and games; the only possible exceptions are illness and family

emergency. It is understood that there are times when the academic class-load is such that you need to miss a practice. Whenever possible, the coach should be informed prior to the practice to be missed. Three unexcused absences will result in expulsion from the team.

After a missed practice, a written, signed note (signed by a parent, guardian, doctor, teacher, etc.) needs to be turned into the coach the day you return to school.

Weekly attendance sheets will be turned in by the coaches to the Athletic Director. In the unlikely event that an athlete quits a team, he/she will be expected to turn in a written explanation to the Ath-

letic Director. Academic Eligibility – To be on a sports team students are required to fulfill school academic requirements. If an ath-

lete is not academically eligible please contact a member of the Guidance Committee to receive instructions on how to regain your eligibility.

Athletic Equipment – Athletes assume all responsibility for equipment issued to them during the season and will be

assessed fines for any lost or damaged items. Issued equipment will be worn or used only when participating in interscholastic contests. No equipment will be taken without the consent of the coach.

Dress Code – When traveling by air, train or at the season-ending ISST tournament: Boys are expected to wear dress

shoes (no sneakers or flip-flops), slacks (no jeans), dress shirts, ASP tie and jacket. Girls are expected to wear dress shoes (no sneakers or flip-flops), slacks (no jeans, skirts or dresses), blouses or nice sweaters. When travel-ing by bus (except for the ISST tournament) all athletes are expected to wear the ASP warm-up that has been is-sued at the start of the season. Should an athlete arrive to depart for a sports trip not dressed according to the regulations as stated above, they will be required to attend the trip but they will not be allowed to participate in the games.

Sports and PE – If a student either misses school or is unable to participate in P.E. class, he/she will not be permitted

to practice that day.

I understand and accept that these guidelines and procedures are the rules governing the student athlete dur-ing the time of participation in a team sport, commencing with the first try-out and continuing until the conclu-sion of the season. STUDENT NAME:

The Varsity and JV teams make trips to ISST schools and we in turn host ISST schools during the season. Our ath-letes will be housed by the host school on these occasions and we reciprocate by housing visiting athletes. As you will appreciate, this is a big responsibility for the Athletic Department and it is therefore part of the Varsity and JV Athlete’s commitment to house on those occasions when ASP hosts a visiting team. Because of this reciprocal hous-ing agreement, the costs of the trips are kept to a minimum. However, students are expected to pay the cost of trans-portation and share the cost for their coach’s transportation, per diem and hotel. You will receive a breakdown of the travel fees for each season at the beginning of the season. A permission slip (example above) with all pertinent in-formation is given before each trip.

EACH ATHLETE WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN THE FOLLOWING FORM PRIOR TO EACH AWAY TRIP.
