Once the players know what to expect, when to expect it and how to perform what is expected, they can give a greater effort and performance. Consequently, the football practice schedule reflects a consistent approach toward performance. It is essential that one makes a daily commitment to an organization to be able to positively impact the organization or to enable the organization to have a positive impact on and for you. Nothing is more important to this than daily practice attendance. The school attendance policy is enforced in the West Springfield Football program.
Attendance is mandatory.
It is monitored daily in a grade book just like in the classroom. After attendance is taken, players who are not at practice will receive a call to their home. Players who miss practice must make the time missed up after practice with a coach. If a player makes missing practice a chronic situation then he will be dismissed from the team. Every effort will be made to encourage the athlete to correct his behavior before dismissing him from the team.
