No-Cut Policy
The Athletics Program is committed to a no-cut policy. This philosophical approach provides all student-athletes an opportunity to participate in interscholastic sports regardless of their skill or experience. The program is based on a sports curriculum that becomes progressively more challenging as student-athletes move through each grade. To ensure each student-athlete is getting the appropriate instruction and competition, coaches will consistently evaluate players throughout the season to ensure that these goals are being met. Playing time will be determined by, but not limited to, the following:
- Attendance, attitude and effort in practice sessions and competitions
- A willingness to learn, work with others and participate with a high level of sportsmanship
- Understanding of game-play strategies and the ability to implement them
- Skill exhibited during practice and athletic competitions
Francis W. Parker School educates students to think and act with empathy, courage and clarity as responsible citizens and leaders in a diverse democratic society and global community.
