What is the philosophy between A and B teams?

Conference teams play and A and B team schedules in 
softball, basketball,
volleyball, and field one team in track.  

The B-team is a beginning level where players work 
on fundamentals and then 
have the opportunity to practice those skills in a 
game situation.  The B-
team is viewed as a building block for a future A-
team competition, 
fundamental skill development, and learning to 
develop team play.  Because of 
this, all B-team players are required to play in 
the B-team contest.  The 
number of minutes that each player plays is 
determined by the coach.

The A-team is a more competitive level of play.  
Players are preparing for 
possible high school competition by developing more 
advanced game strategies, 
reviewing the fundamentals and playing in more 
contests.  Playing time is 
determined by a number of factors including 
attitude, ability, knowledge, and 
other criteria specified by individual coaches.  
Athletes are not guaranteed 
a certain number of playing minutes, and the 
coaches decides the amount of 
playing time each player receives.

What does my child need to do to be eligible for athletics?

Eligibility is checked every Wednesday by Mr. 
Gavlin. Athletes may not have 
any F's or more than two D's. If an athlete is 
ineligible, they may not play 
or practice for that week.  If an athlete is 
ineligible for more than one 
week in a season, they will be dismissed from the 
team to focus on academics.
