FACULTY SUPERVISION:

participating in the Tournament. School administrators/faculty who attend the contest in

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS AND COACHES:
| The CIF-Central Coast Section is well aware that
many other school and non-school activities (AP tests, SAT/ACT tests, proms, plays,
holidays, senior trips, religious days, etc.) may occur during CCS Play-offs. The
CCS tries to avoid as many conflicts as possible; however, with so many activities
available for today's student-athlete, it is not reasonable to assume that all such
activities can be taken into account, and thus, CCS Play-off events will go on as
originally scheduled. Participants and coaches are therefore expected to plan in
advance for such possible scheduling conflicts and make those difficult choices as to
which events will take precedence for that individual. Generally, although it is
ultimately the personal choice of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent (s), an
academic activity should take precedence over an extra-curricular event. |
