COLLEGE RELATIONS:
If an athlete is contacted personally by a college recruiter, they are encouraged to work through their Kennedy Catholic coach and the Athletic Department so that all possible assistance may be offered. All contacts with the college recruiter during the school day must be preceded by approval from the President/Principal or President/Principal's designee. Any student recruited or not, who wishes to participate in intercollegiate athletics in NCAA Division I or Division II schools must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse. This can be done at www.ncaa.org and click on Eligibility Center. The NCAA Clearinghouse also has vital information on requirements for core courses, SAT/ACT tests and GPA.
SPORTS TRANSFER:
An athlete who wishes to change from one sport to another during a specific sports season must receive the approval of both coaches involved and then communicate with the AD office to ensure a transfer of information and emergency form to be received by the other coach.
INSURANCE INFORMATION:
Participants in the interscholastic program at Kennedy Catholic High School are covered by a Liability Catastrophe Plan paid for by the school; however, parents/guardians are responsible for the cost of treatment for injuries of a non- catastrophic nature. For this reason, Kennedy Catholic High School requires athletes to be covered by medical and dental insurance while participating in interscholastic athletics.
ATHLETIC LETTER REQUIREMENTS:
The following basic premise is understood in establishing letter requirements for each sport at Kennedy Catholic High School: • The head coach of any sport, with the approval of the administration, has the responsibility for setting the requirements and awarding varsity letters for the sport. • The coach has the right to award letters to participants, even though the letter requirements for that sport have not been satisfied. The following are conditions that would warrant this kind of coach’s decision: ◦ If, in the judgment of the coach, the athlete would have lettered but did not compete for a significant portion of the season because of medical problems. ◦ If the participant is a senior who has turned out for two or more years and has contributed to the total program of that sport. • Athletes of Kennedy Catholic High School are limited to the wearing of the following letters and emblems on approved school athletic sweaters and jackets: ◦ The first time an athlete letters, the school letter and a bar may be worn on a sweater or jacket. ◦ Subsequent years in which an athlete letters are to be indicated by the placement of additional bars on the original letter (thus, the maximum number of bars would be four). ◦ Emblems may be worn to indicate individual, individual event, or team champions for different levels of competition, beginning with league. Also, emblems may be worn to reflect ribbons, medals, or team trophies won at the state level of competition. ◦ Stars may be worn to indicate individual or team advancement to post-season levels of competition (e.g., league, district, state). Stars may also be worn to reflect selection to the all-league first team. ◦ Only recognition received while a student at Kennedy Catholic may be reflected on a Kennedy Catholic letter jacket or sweater. ◦ Athletes who fail to observe these guidelines will lose the privilege of wearing a school letter sweater or jacket. Note: items such as the athlete’s name and year of graduation may be added at the request of the student.
