22.4 Coaches take attendance on all trips and inform the athletic office prior to departure if a player has not traveled. A student withdrawal from a trip can affect transportation arrangements, trip budget, housing arrangements and many other aspects. Unless there is a doctor’s medical certificate confirming the medical reason why your son / daughter could not travel, then the trip fee must be paid in full. 22.5 All team members must travel with their team by the means of transport organized by the athletic department. Travel to an athletic event by private car is not permitted. The only exception to this rule is if the event takes places in the Rhein-Main region ( e.g. Wiesbaden) and when the Athletic Director has granted permission for parents to drive students to the event. 22.6 Parents should be familiar with the policies regarding payment of sports trip fees. Parents pay 100% of the travel costs. The trip desk is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 10.30-13.00hrs. Payment to the trip desk is cash only however, parents can also pay by bank transfer. Bank transfer details are contained in the trip letter. Please note that unless trip costs are paid in full by the deadline indicated in the trip letter, the student-athlete will not be permitted to participate in the next scheduled competition. 22.7 Coaches submit a travel roster for each trip to the athletic office containing housing preferences at least 1 week in advance of the trip and this is forwarded to the respective host school. This housing roster lists grade level, nationality, allergies and any special dietary requirements, and students are matched up with host families based upon this information. Parents are requested to keep any medical / allergy information up to date with the athletic office. In general, team rosters are sent to the host school 3- 4 days in advance of the event. For tournament events the deadline for housing rosters is normally 3 weeks in advance. Housing in most cases is done in pairs and coaches are encouraged to discuss the housing preferences with the athletes. 22.8 Coaches must remind students that external speakers are prohibited on sports trips. iPods and CD players with personal headphones, however are encouraged. 23.0 Dress Code for Athlete and Coaches 23.1 For sports trip made by bus, the dress of the student-athlete may be casual, as long as it is in good taste and conforms to the Upper School dress code. Traveling in team warm-ups is encouraged when traveling by bus. 23.2 For sports trips made by train* or airplane the team members and coaches are expected to “dress up”. As agreed at the coaches’ forum in March 2009, the team image is important when representing the school at major tournaments; therefore, the dress code should reflect positively upon our school. The Student Athletic Council has recommended that teams should be identified by some form of agreed dress code when traveling to tournaments, e.g. shirts and ties for boys. Input from the team members and the coach is encouraged, so that it is a team decision taking into consideration the multicultural make- up of FIS teams. ( * with the exception of a train trip to Vienna which is 7 hours ! )
24.0 Uniforms 24.1 Uniforms for athletic competition are provided by the school. In most sports the uniforms are signed out to the athlete. The athlete is expected to return the uniform to the coach at the end of the season, cleaned and in good repair and showing only reasonable wear and use. Uniforms that are lost or damaged become the financial responsibility of the athlete. 24.2 Athletes may be asked to purchase some uniform items or team supplies from the school bookstore at nominal cost. These items, of course, remain the property of the athlete. 25.0 FIS students who are members of external German Clubs 25.1 FIS fully supports students wishing to play club sport outside of school and also playing on an FIS school team, since this can enhance not only the development of the individual but also the quality of the FIS team. 25.2 Club players wishing to play for an FIS team must sign a contract with the Athletic Director which commits them to the school team for an agreed number of practices. This contract must be signed by the coach, parent, player and the Athletic Director. 25.3 Club players may not miss seasonal games or end of season tournament games to play for their club. If there is an occasional conflict this can be handled at the coach’s discretion. 25.4 Any breach of the agreed written contract will result in the club player being removed from the school team. 26.0 Athletic Awards - End of Season Awards 26.1 The Athletic Booster Club sponsors the end of season awards evening for athletes and their families at the conclusion of each season. The purpose of these events is to honor the school’s athletes and recognize the achievements of the FIS teams. The typical format for the awards evening is as follows ; 17.30 Grade 6-8 Team and parent break out session with coaches for special awards. 18.30 Booster Club sponsored reception with team cake and slide show of season in cafeteria. 19.00 Presentation by the Athletic Director and Booster Club followed by team, scholar-athlete and senior recognition in the auditorium. 19.30 JV and Varsity Team and parent break-out sessions with coaches for special awards
