The athletics department has rolled out the new and updated drug and alcohol policy. It can be found in the 2017-18 SLS Student-Athlete Guidebook which you should have received at one of the two team meets we had the first day of the semester. If you didn't get one yet, please see me as soon as possible. Refer to page 7 for a summary of this policy and to page 9 for the list of sanctions.
The athletic department is requiring that all student-athletes sign an acknowledgement and drug-testing consent form by Thursday, September 21. Failure to do so will render you ineligible to participate in any team activities including practice, travel, or competition. This essentially includes anyone active or connected with the program in some way, so if you tried out, this means you. Yes, they're serious, as I indicated at the meeting.
I will be at practice on Tuesday (the 19th) with copies of the forms. Please come find me. Phil
