	The athletic program at Belleville Township High School East is well rounded to appeal to a wide range of interests. Students are encouraged to participate in any sport for which they can qualify. Announcements regarding informational meetings will be made, via the Student Daily Announcements, throughout the year. Interscholastic sports are offered in baseball, basketball, bowling, cheerleading, cross country, dance team, football, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track, volleyball & wrestling. A participation fee is required.
     The athlete and parent must complete the online sports registration process (www.bths201.org/east and click on the athletics tab or www.bellevilleeastsports.org) before trying out for a sport.  Completion of this process does NOT guarantee the student athlete will be a member of the team.  Coaches will make decisions on the final roster for each sport upon completion of tryouts. 
     A current physical (within 395 days) must be on file with the school nurse before any student will be allowed to tryout or practice.

Participation Fees
     The fee is $30 per sport or club, with a maximum of $60 for the year.  When the final roster has been set the athlete must pay the
participation fee in the bookstore or online (through their parent-portal) before a uniform will be issued.

Athletic Eligibility Procedure
     Students involved in any co-curricular activity must be in school for at least ½ day to participate that same day.  On weekends, holidays, or breaks, the student is eligible to participate regardless of whether or not he or she was present the last day before the event.
     All class work up to and including the week previous to the game will be considered in determining eligibility. The students who are failing and the students who are near failing shall be indicated according to the code on the eligibility sheet. The teacher is the final judge of the student’s standing, and no make-up examinations will be given after the eligibility grades have been listed.

Athletic Code of Conduct
     The athletic code has been adopted by the Board of Education, administration, and staff of the Belleville Township High School District #201.  A copy of the athletic code of conduct will be e-mailed upon completion of the online registration process.  
     The code applies to all students, grades 9 through 12, who wish to participate in all co-curricular athletics.  The code applies in addition to other policies, rules, and regulations concerning student conduct and imposes additional requirements on student athletes.
     Athletic code rules are in effect throughout the calendar year and twenty-four hours a day, whether or not school is in session and including vacation periods and holidays.  The rules apply on and off campus and whether or not the misconduct occurs at school or school sponsored activities or in a location away from school.  The code applies from the beginning of the athlete’s first tryout or practice in the first sport the athlete attempts until the completion of the athlete’s athletic eligibility in all co-curricular athletics.
     A student athlete’s use of tobacco, alcohol, or performance altering substances (including look-alikes) is prohibited.  Use of these banned substances presents a hazard to the health, safety, and welfare of the student as well as those with whom the student participates or competes.

IHSA Performance Testing Program
     As a prerequisite to participation in IHSA athletic activities, an athlete must agree to not use performance-enhancing substances as defined in the IHSA Performance-Enhancing Substance Testing Program Protocol.  The athlete may be asked to submit to random testing for the presence of performance-enhancing substances and must agree to submit to such testing and analysis by a certified laboratory. The testing may occur during selected IHSA state series events or during the school day.   The athlete & parent/guardian agree that the results of the performance-enhancing substance testing may be provided to certain individuals at Belleville East High School as specified in the IHSA Performance-Enhancing Substance Testing Program Protocol which is available on the IHSA website at www.IHSA.org. The testing will be held confidential to the extent required by law. 

Scholastic Standing 
     You must pass twenty-five (25) credit hours of high school work per week. Generally, twenty-five (25) credit hours is the equivalent of 
five (5) “full credit” courses.
     You must have passed and received credit toward graduation for twenty-five (25) credit hours of high school work for the entire previous
semester to be eligible at all during the ensuing semester.
 
Physical Examination
     You must annually have placed on file with the school nurse a certificate of physical fitness, signed by a licensed physician, in order to practice or participate. Your physical examination each year is good for only 395 days from the date of the exam.  Athletes may not tryout/participate if a physical is older than 395 days.  Make sure physicals are up-to-date and do not expire in the middle of a season.  

Misbehavior During Contests
     If you violate the ethics of competition or the principles of good sportsmanship, you may be barred from interscholastic athletic contests,
either as a participant or spectator or both.
     If you are ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct, you will be ineligible for your team’s next contest. You are also subject to other penalties.
     Any other person(s) found to be in violation of the ethics of competition or principles of good sportsmanship may also be barred from interscholastic athletic contests.
