Code of Conduct
Expectations of Athletes - Summit athletes share a commitment to themselves, their teammates and to the school. Student-athletes are expected to exhibit:
- Respect - For oneself, teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, fans, team managers, bus drivers and athletic staff.
- Responsibility - By attending practices/games, being on time every day and being prepared to improve in skill level and knowledge of the sport. Athletes are expected to adhere to the school rules and expectations as stated in the Upper School Handbook. Anyone in violation of this policy will be subject to severe consequences.
- Sportsmanship - Every action, body language, attitude and spoken word is a reflection of oneself and a reflection of the school. Student-athletes should be committed to being the “bigger” person in difficult situations.
Expectations of Parents - Summit parents are expected to support the coach, all student-athletes, athletic policies, and game officials. Parents are encouraged to cheer on Summit teams while refraining from verbally abusing game officials or the opposing team. Finally, parents who have concerns about their child’s athletic experience should first contact the coach and, if unresolved, follow-up with the Athletic Director. Appropriate topics to discuss with your child's coach include your child's safety, skill improvement, and behavior concerns. It is not appropriate to discuss your child's playing time, team strategy, calling of plays, or other student-athletes. Parents who wish to meet with a coach should never do so immediately following a game but are encouraged to wait 24 hours and then reach out to the coach directly.
Contact Info
For all team sports inquiries, please contact your child’s coach in season.
For general information and additional inquiries contact Interim Director of Athletics, John Carty, at 721-0540 x 1031 or at jcarty@summitmail.org.

Inclement Weather Policy/Alerts
If rain, snow, ice or other inclement weather impacts the practice or game schedule, you will receive an email or text. Please keep in mind that safety is our top priority and will steer our decisions if changes need to be made. Parents are also encouraged to sign up for team alerts to be notified when schedule changes occur.
Lifetime Sports
Lifetime Sports at Summit School exists to give students exposure to physical fitness activities, off-campus recreation, and non-traditional sports with the goal of staying physically active for life. Activities include but are not limited to archery, bowling, personal fitness, hiking, zip lining, skeet shooting, biking, ultimate, yoga, snow skiing, and disc golf.
Participation Policy
Pickup from Practice/Games
Pickup from practices takes place in the main carpool circle at 5:15 pm on practice days and at appointed times from away games. Students are free to carefully use the crosswalk or simply walk to their parents car by curbside to be picked up. Parents who do not pick up on time from practice days will be charged an extra fee.
Pickup from away games also takes place in the main carpool circle. Students are allowed to bring their cell phones to away games for the sole purpose of calling/texting parents the approximate time they will return to school. Any inappropriate use of cell phones by students will be subject to severe consequences.
Pre-Season Parents Meetings
At the conclusion of the first week of practice, all parents are asked to meet with their child’s coach for a pre-season parents meeting at the end of practice. These meetings will be brief and informal and will include the following: coach’s expectations for practice/game participation, electing a team mom/dad, reviewing the team schedule and reviewing any sport rules that may make viewing more enjoyable.
Post-season Awards/Team Parties
We encourage each team to hold a fun and informal team party during the last week of practice (including awards day, before or after team pictures). The purpose is to highlight each student-athlete’s participation and team accomplishments. A simple gift for each coach may be presented during this event.

Transportation
Summit provides transportation for all athletic teams to away games. Certified drivers are hired to drive longer distances, allowing coaches to build relationships with students and prepare for the game. Families are charged a $100 fee per season per child and transportation costs are part of the fee. Families are billed at the end of each season.
Try-out and Cut Policy
Participating on a sports team provides the student-athlete an experience in skill development, sportsmanship and teamwork. We strive to provide athletic opportunities for all eligible students.
Some of our teams have a cap that requires cuts in the number of players so that all team members have a meaningful experience. A tryout period will be held at the beginning of each season and, if cuts are necessary, the head coach will inform all players of their status on the team on the last day of tryouts. Athletes who do not make the team of their choice may tryout for another team if there is space on the roster.
