Violations – General The importance of enforcement of all regulations in this book and the Cheverus Student Handbook should be apparent. A firm and fair policy of enforcement is necessary to prevent a travesty being made of regulations. The community, school administrators, and the coaching staff feel strongly that high standards of conduct and citizenship are essential in maintaining a sound program of athletics. It is our intent to preserve rules that reasonably pertain to the health and safety of the individual and to the orderly conduct of sports. We do not wish to establish arbitrary personal preferences to insure absolute uniformity. The welfare of the student is our major consideration. In the event an athlete fails to comply with these necessary standards, it will be interpreted by the Athletic Department as an indication that the athlete does not have sufficient desire to participate in the interscholastic athletic program. Therefore, the athlete will be denied the privilege of participating until such time as he/she can prove his/her desire. The precise period of participation denial will depend on the violation and the attitude of the athlete. Generally, a minimum of two weeks denial of participation will be necessary to prove the desire to participate and comply with the standards that have been established for the benefit of the athlete and the team. Repeated or flagrant violations may result in total denial of participation from the interscholastic athletic program.
