Sports Banquet May 21st
This has been another great year for Valiant Athletics to date. Spring sports are in full swing and the end of the year is fast approaching. We would like to remind you that on Wednesday May 21st at 6:00 pm in the Valiants’ Gym we will have our annual Sports Awards Banquet. Doors will open at 5:30 pm and a family style dinner will be served promptly at 6:00 pm. Our coaches will be asking their athletes to wear something nice to celebrate all of their successes this year. At this event we will honor the great accomplishments of our athletes and teams. The evening will be highlighted by a slide show, the presentation of banners to qualifying teams, and the announcing of our male and female athletes of the year. We are asking that you RSVP for dinner to jgallagher@ssmoministries.org by May 14th.

Athletics Policies and Procedures
Sports physicals are required every two years and must be completed on the OSAA approved form.
The spring athletic fee of $85.00 is due on Wednesday March 5th. Any athlete with an outstanding balance after the 26th will be ruled ineligible to compete in their team’s first contest, regardless of whether payment is received prior to competition time. This is a change from last year’s policy.
Under the team name of Valiants, Valley Catholic High School student-athletes compete in the OSAA West Valley League. Valley Catholic High School athletes are among the most visible representatives of the school, thereby assuming added responsibilities in citizenship (both on and off the field), sportsmanship, attitude, and appearance. Coaches may therefore as a condition of team membership require higher standards in all four of these categories.
Any head coach or the Director of Athletics may at any time reprimand a student-athlete, suspend the student-athlete from the team, or impose conditions of probation on the student-athlete’s continued participation on the team if the head coach or Athletic Director believe that the student has engaged in misconduct or violated student-athlete standards.
Attendance-
Oregon State Law (ORS 339.065) defines an excused absence as “an absence caused by the pupil’s sickness, by the sickness of some member of the pupil’s family, or by an emergency. The school’s administration may excuse absences for other reasons when satisfactory arrangements are made in advance of the absence”.
Students are not allowed to participate in after-school athletics (practices or games) if they are not in attendance the entire school day. Excused absences must be cleared prior to the day of the absence (medical appointments, college visits, and school related activities must be cleared prior to the absence).
Valley Catholic fans had a lot to celebrate in 2006-2007.
This year promises to be just as exciting.
