Chemical Policy Reminder

Hi Everyone -

This seems like an appropriate time to remind everyone about the Hopkins Ultimate Chemical Policy. Questions? Please contact your coaches or any parents on the board. Anyways, here it is:

Bylaw: Regardless of quantity, a student shall not unlawfully: (1) use or possess a
beverage containing alcohol unless as part of his/her family’s observation of religious
celebrations, or approved and supervised by his/her parents or legal guardians; (2) use or
possess tobacco; or, (3) use or consume, have in possession, buy, sell, or giveaway any
other controlled substance.
It is not a violation for a student to be in possession of a controlled substance
specifically prescribed for the student’s own use by her/his doctor.
Penalty
1. First Violation: After confirmation of the first violation, the student shall lose
eligibility for two (2) consecutive weeks of participation in all Hopkins Ultimate
Frisbee Team events AND the next sanctioned tournament. If the student is a
team captain, he/she will lose captainship immediately. A letter of apology
written by the student needs to be presented to the organization before returning
to play.
2. Second Violation: After confirmation of the second violation, the student shall
lose eligibility for four (4) additional consecutive weeks of participation in all
Hopkins Ultimate Frisbee Team events AND the next two additional sanctioned
tournaments. A letter of apology written by the student needs to be presented to
the organization before returning to play.
3. Third Violation: After confirmation of the third violation, the student shall lose
eligibility for twelve (12) additional consecutive months of participation in all
Hopkins Ultimate Frisbee Team events and any sanctioned tournaments. After a
period of 6 months and no additional violations, the player may present in front of
the executive committee for consideration for his/her reinstatement.
4. Accumulative Penalties: Penalties shall be cumulative beginning with the
student’s first participation with the Hopkins’ Ultimate Frisbee Team and
continuing throughout the student’s junior high and high school career.

Don't screw over your teammates by making a bad choice.
