Philosophy
Competitive
sports are an inherent part of the total educational program for students in
the South Euclid/Lyndhurst City Schools. Interscholastic athletics provide
numerous opportunities for students to participate in activities that promote
growth and development, social and recreational skills as well as an
opportunity to develop leadership qualities.
The
major emphasis of interscholastic athletics is skilled play and good
sportsmanship. Every attempt will be made to provide favorable playing
conditions in order that the competitive experiences of our athletes may be
wholesome, and result in the attainment of
positive attitudes and conduct. Interscholastic athletics are a privilege, not
a right.
A
student becomes subject to the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Schools athletic policies
and the rules of the Ohio High School Athletic Association upon registering in
the school district and expressing an interest in a specific sport to the
coach. In addition, all athletes are expected to follow the specific rules
associated with individual athletic teams on which they participate.

Athletic trainers are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical assessments, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
If your child is injured and it is an emergency, please seek immediate medical treatment. In a non-urgent/non-emergency situation, please contact me to make me aware. I am available to help you decide the best course of treatment. Whenever a student-athlete is under the care of a doctor for an injury, we will request a note from an appropriate medical provider for release to return to play.
I am onsite at the school during the week, usually arriving during 8th period. I am often here on the weekends as well if there are events. The training room is located adjacent to Welser Gym. It is the responsibility of the injured student to check in with me daily during the week, even if they are unable to practice.
