SCHOLAR ATHLETES

At ARISE, we believe that student athletics are important to cultivating key building blocks towards achieving our school’s mission.

These building blocks include developing teamwork, discipline, character, intentionality, and a supportive community. Student athletes at ARISE also work at being Scholar Athletes. As such, ARISE’s policy is that a student must be scholastically eligible to compete in any athletic contest during that season of the sport.

Being a Scholar Athlete

Warrior Intellectuals On and Off the Field

At ARISE, athletics build the same things our classrooms do: discipline, character, teamwork, and community. Scholar Athletes uphold our Core Values at all times so they and the whole ARISE community rise up.

Respect

Self, others, your word, and space

Persevere

Through uncertainty, challenge, and struggle

Build

Discipline, knowledge, agency, and community

Lead

With integrity, courage, and action

Academic Eligibility

Students must be academically eligible to play. A student who is not academically eligible sits out games until they are eligible again. To stay eligible, a Scholar Athlete:

  • Maintains minimum progress toward high school graduation
  • Has no more than one NC the day before a game
  • Turns in a Progress Report to the Dean of School Culture by lunch the day before every game
  • Upholds the ARISE Codes of Respect

Violations of the Codes of Respect may also lead to losing eligibility for games.

Expectations for Scholar Athletes

These expectations and their consequences apply on and off the field.

Codes of RespectApproaching expectations in more than one Code of Respect may mean losing eligibility to play.
LanguageHateful, oppressive, or obscene language or acts of vulgarity are not accepted on or off the field and lead to discipline by the coach and possibly the school.
SportsmanshipTreat opponents and officials with respect before, during, and after competition. Poor sportsmanship leads to discipline by the coach and possibly the school.
In the ClassroomAttend every class, be on time, turn in work, ask for help, and model being a Warrior Intellectual. Falling short can mean discipline and ineligibility.
Four Full PeriodsBe in class for four full periods to practice or play that day. Fewer than four means no practice or game that day.
Temporary ExclusionA Temporary Exclusion from school means no practices or games for its full length, including holidays, weekends, and breaks.
Team CommitmentPractices, scrimmages, team meetings, and games are required. Absences not excused by the coach in advance may lead to discipline or removal from the team.
Academic HonestyUphold the ARISE academic honesty policy. Cheating leads to discipline by the coach and possibly the school.

Scholar Athletes as Warrior Intellectuals

Warrior Intellectuals follow strict codes to live life with integrity and love.  At ARISE, Scholar Athletes are expected to uphold ARISE’s Core Values at all times. A Warrior Intellectual disciplines themselves with the strength, courage, and conviction to hold true these foundational ARISE Core Values in order to help themselves and the ARISE community rise up:

PERSEVERE:  Persevere through uncertainty, challenge, & struggle

BUILD:  Build discipline, knowledge, agency, & community

Expectations for Scholar Athletes

  2. Hateful, oppressive, or obscene language , or any act of vulgarity, is not acceptable on or off the field. Violators will be disciplined by the coach and may also face school disciplinary action.

  3. Athletes are expected to treat their opponent with respect before, during, and after competition. Athletes showing poor sportsmanship towards opponents or officials, will be disciplined by the coach and may also face disciplinary action.

  4. Athletes are expected to attend all classes, be on time, turn in their assignments on time, seek help from the teacher when necessary, have a positive attitude toward their peers and teachers, and model being a Warrior Intellectual. Failure to do so will result in discipline from the coach and can lead to ineligibility to play. .

  5. An athlete must be in class for four full periods to practice or play in a game that day. If an athlete in not in four full periods of class, he/she becomes ineligible to compete or practice that day. 

  6. An athlete who receives a Temporary Exclusion from school may not participate in practices or games for the duration of the Temporary Exclusion, including holidays, weekends, and breaks.
