The complete Board policy Complete text of the law and additional information is available on the Iowa Department of Education website: Students should be able to participate in IHSAA-sponsored programs in an environment free from any behavior that is intimidating, hostile, offensive, or dangerous.
Each member school is responsible for taking such action and enacting such policies as may be necessary to address incidents of hazing and to ensure such conduct is prohibited. Policies enacted by schools should be in accordance with sections of the Iowa Code that address hazing. A person commits an act of hazing when the person intentionally or recklessly engages in any act or acts involving forced activity which endanger the physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into, or affiliation with any organization operating in connection with a school, college, or university.
Prohibited acts include, but are not limited to, any brutality of a physical nature such as whipping, forced confinement, or any other forced activity which endangers the physical health or safety of the student. For purposes of this section, "forced activity" means any activity which is a condition of initiation or admission into, or affiliation with, an organization, regardless of a student's willingness to participate in the activity.
A person who commits an act of hazing is guilty of a simple misdemeanor. Violation of team rules may cause you to miss one or more meets or may result in dismissal from the team.

Since this is a new season, I am going to provide the opportunity to hold challenge matches. This meaning, players who would like to challenge for a higher spot may do so with my approval. The winning player will hold the higher spot. I allow challenge matches to happen throughout the season and encourage players to challenge to improve their game. Once the players have challenged, they must wait a week before a rechallenge with the same opponent if they choose to do so.
I will also use a variety of other criteria to determine the lineup as well. This will include the following: If you are not willing to make the above sacrifices, you may need to consider other options. Any of these factors can determine whether you play in the lineup as varsity or junior varsity, or if you will be held out of competition. Challenge matches not only prepare players for competition, they also provide an opportunity to improve players standing on the team. Coach Phommachack will prepare a ladder for challenge matches this season. The ladder is determined by how well players perform in practice challenge matches against their own teammates.
The ladder is beneficial and brings about some great competition to the courts. Players who would like to challenge for a higher spot may do so with the Head Coaches approval. Coach will encourage players to challenge to improve their game and allow challenge matches to happen through the mid-season. This includes challenge matches.

I appreciate your understanding on this. So below are some pointers I would like you to keep in mind throughout our tennis season: I want us to Honor the Game as we can be proud of ourselves win or lose. A worthy opponent helps us get better- we want to play fierce and friendly and never think of them as enemies. We respect Officials even when bad calls go against us. Without the officials the game would be unsafe and unfair. Officials are not perfect, and sometimes they make mistakes too; however, there is never an excuse for treating officials with disrespect when they make those errors- keep that in mind.
Please encourage and support each other always! Do it because you want to! We live up to our own standards even if our opponents do not. We have so much respect for ourselves that we would never do anything to dishonor the game. I appreciate your time and patience reading through this information.
As I said, it is important for you to know and understand. My information is located below, along with my assistant coaches. I am looking forward to a great season and getting to know all the new and MANY faces! Skip to Main Content. Jaguar Athletics and Activities.
