Back to Areas of Interest Philosophy of Athletics Athletics is part of the total education program at Northview. We realize not everyone can qualify as a participant, but we do realize everyone can benefit from the program. The criteria upon which our program is judged are as follows: 1. Interscholastic participation is a privlege not a right.
2. Participation in athletics is for those who have outstanding physical skills in the respective sport.
3. Success of the program is not determined by the won or loss record.
4. School and community values should be evident throughout the program
5. The school and its community are identified by the publicity generated through its athletic program.
6. The coaching staff, athletes, student body, and adult followers should never act in a manner that would be detrimental to the name of Northview Public Schools. Back to Areas of Interest
Sportsmanship Players and Coaches: Players and coaches shall at all times represent themselves and Northview with honor, proper conduct, and good sportsmanship. They shall understand that competitive rivalries are encouraged but that disrespect for opponents is un-sportsmanlike and lessens the value of the rivalries. They shall confine the competitiveness of the game to the field, and in particular behave properly on the sidelines and in the locker rooms both before and after games. In no way, either by voice, action, or gesture, shall they demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the decisions made. They must never forget that they represent their school.

Attendance/Vacation Coaches must be notified, either by the athlete or a parent/guardian, whenever an athlete will miss practice. Missing practices or games without good reason is a serious matter and will result in disciplinary action. Athletes must be in school for the entire day in order to be eligible to compete in a scheduled athletic contest or practice. In extreme situations, arrangements must be made with the building Principal and or the Athletic Director to acquire an excused absence. Schedule appointments are an acceptable reason to be pre-excused. Before pursuing a team sport, athletes and their parents should carefully evaluate schedule conflicts that may arise due to other school activities, jobs or family vacations. If a family vacation is scheduled during a designated school break, such as Thanksgiving vacation, the holiday break in December, the midwinter break in February or spring break, the athlete will be excused from scheduled practices and/or contests by the coach, IF THE ATHLETE COMMUNICATED THIS INFORMATION TO THE COACH IN A TIMELY MANNER PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED FAMILY VACATION. The athlete must be on vacation with their parent. An athlete who claims to be on vacation with a parent and is found to have lied may be dismissed from the team by the coach.
