WELCOME TO COUGAR ATHLETICS!

A message from the Athletic Coordinator . . . .

Dear Student and Parent (s),

The Clay Intermediate Center Athletics Department would like to extend an invitation to all students to participate in the many interscholastic athletic programs offered. We believe that the mental, physical, and emotional growth of a student can be greatly enhanced by participating in a well-organized sports program.

The Clay Intermediate Center Athletic Handbook is designed to inform each of you of valuable information relating to participation in interscholastic sports at Clay Intermediate Center. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

PLEASE READ all of the handbook before signing and returning the parent & student consent and emergency medical information sheet found on the back cover. Your signature indicates that each of you has read, understands, and will abide with the policies as stated. Concerns regarding policies should be addressed before there is a problem.

We are counting on the support of parents and students involved in our athletics program as we assume the tremendous joint responsibility for the education of your child. We need the support of all parents in reinforcing that academic responsibilities come first and that each student-athlete must learn to manage his/her time, energy, and talents in such a way as to excel in the classroom as well as athletics.

I would also like to ask you to consider becoming a Cougar Athletic Patron. Donations from patrons will provide a major portion of the funds to operate the athletics program since tax revenues cannot be used for most athletic expenses. Your support will be greatly appreciated by all the student-athletes at Clay Intermediate Center.
