Players are expected to abide by the training rules outlined by the coach. The Monroe-Woodbury Central
School District recognizes that the use of alcohol, tobacco, steroids, synthetic cannabinoids, or other illegal
drugs decreases long-term athletic activity performance, decreases the overall academic performance,
increases the probability for physical injury and lessens the chance for a student to reach his or her full
measure of excellence. Self-disclosure to the Coach, Athletic Director and/or Student Assistance Counselor
concerning his or her substance abuse problem will result in no disciplinary action as long as the player follows
the recommended care plan as outlined by the Student Assistance Counselor.
