These forms are monitored by the athletic director and head coach. Please make your doctor's appointments well in advance to avoid having a lapse of your current physical examination. All paperwork must be complete.

members of the team will be evaluated in fall camp and throughout the school year
in these physical training areas:
| * Strength |
| *Cardiovascular training |

Football Equipment and Personal Equipment
We will provide all game related equipment and pads. All equipment issued by Life Christian is NOCSAE approved for usage. Each season will will also have each student-athlete purchase a spirit pack consisting of shorts, T-shirts, athletic supporter, sweatshirt, sweatpants, tie,and mouthpiece. Additional spirit pac items are also available for your purchase. This equipment assures that we as a team look sharp and reflect Eagle class!
All issued gear from Life Christian School and Academyis your responsibility and must be maintained properly as well as turned in upon completion of the season. If not turned in the item will be billed to the account of the student athlete.
The
only personal gear items you need to provide are:

games (may be the same pair)
2.) Small gear (elbow pads, socks)
3.) Gloves
(optional)

earn a varsity letter you must meet criteria consistent with the student handbook
criteria as a Christian student-athlete. In addition the criteria are:

EAGLE FOOTBALL EXPECTATIONS
Christian Lifestyle
As Christian men we are called to lead Godly lives. This must include rock solid commitment to making tough choices when temptations show. Your commitment to Christ will make good decisions for you, and those decisions will endorse your participation in the Eagle football program. Poor decisions making relative to in or put out of school behavior will make it very difficult for you to enjoy the benefits of being an Eagle football player. We take pride in our ability to do the things right.
Off the field
You are a representative of Christ, our school, and our football program. We except everyone to represent us and our program with class and dignity.
-Wear
proper school/game day attire as designated.
-Be on time for all aspects of
an itinerary or event.
-Treat everyone involved within our program with respect.
-Show loyalty to Christ, our school, and to our football program.
On the field
-Be
on time for all practices.
-Wear all pads and protective equipment unless
otherwise told. Wear gear as designed as per rule book requires.
-Helmets
on and chine straps buckled otherwise told.
-Hustle at all times.
Training
Room/Injury Procedures
Prevention and treatment
of injuries is the responsibility of the athlete. He will receive proper advice
and service from our school's athletic trainer/designee. Our coaches are not trainers.
Our athlete trainer will handle all referrals to physicians.
Each athlete must know his practice or game status based upon injury or recovery from injury. The coaching staff will not make that decision without consultation with the trainer.
Wear proper attire in the training room and fitness center, both of which co-ed facilities.
Missed Practices/Meetings
All excused absences include an athlete communicating the absence to the head coach prior to being absent. Excused absences include: sickness, death in the family, meeting with a facility member, and injury.
Any
unexcused absence will result in not being allowed to suit up for the next game.
Two unexcused absences will result in removal from the team.
Classroom Behavior and Grades
All student/athletes are required to behave in the classroom. This is why the student/athletes are here at Life Christian School and Academy. Athletics are a privelege not a right. If they fail to comply with the class expectations of behavior, that faculty member or administrator will contact the head coach and there will be consequences as well. This is to develop accountability in the classroom from other team members
If a student/athlete has outstanding assignment in class for a porlonged period of time, they are not allowed to participate in practice or games. The student/athlete is required to meet the standard for the school of a GPA 2.0 and no F's. In addition they are required to pass the 5 week WIAA grade check as well.
