Athletics. MOR offers a sports program throughout the school year for both boys and girls in grades 3-8 and competes in the Catholic Athletic League.

Philosophy. School athletics provide a wonderful opportunity for students to broaden the scope of their overall education. Those involved with school athletics will focus on the following goals:

  1. Participation: All athletes should be given playing time.
  2. Sportsmanship: All athletes treat officials, coaches, peers and opponents with respect.
  3. Development: All athletes should learn basic fundamental skills for his/her particular sport.
  4. Pride: All athletes need to be proud of being a part of the MOR Athletic Program.

Academics. The school requires athletic students to maintain a C average in each class. If an athlete’s grade falls below a C average, that subject’s teacher will notify the athletic director. Students will be given a deadline to improve their grade to a C average. Upon that date, if the athlete has not improved his or her grade, the athlete will be suspended from all practice and games for one week.

Conduct. MOR believes that students who are selected for the privilege of membership on teams should conduct themselves as responsible representatives of the school. In order to assure this conduct we enforce a Code of Conduct.

Parent Guidelines

  1. Sign and return the code of conduct.
  2. Support the athlete’s code of conduct.
  3. Introduce yourself to the coach.
  4. Be a role model for your son or daughter.
  5. Discuss any concerns about your son or daughter with only the coach.
  6. Encourage others to attend games and support MOR.

School Attendance. Students must be in school to participate in athletics. On game days, students must attend at least four hours of the school day in order to participate. Numerous unexcused absences may result in loss of playing time.

The administration of MOR reserves the right to discipline, suspend or dismiss an athlete from participation due to academic conduct, behavior or attendance compliance. Any student that does not satisfactorily complete the season will not be eligible for any award given for that sport. Also, the student will not be allowed to play another sport the rest of the school year.

Uniforms. The dress code for school on game days is at the discretion of the administration. Students must follow any guidelines that are set by the administration. Uniforms will be purchased by the parents. Students must wear the uniform only to school games. If permitted, the uniform top can be worn to school on game days.  If a player is missing any part of the uniform, that player may not be allowed to participate in the game that day.

Transportation. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from all practice and games. Parents need to be ON TIME, as a courtesy to the coaches. Directions to game sites will be listed on the game schedule.

Tryouts. The school is sensitive to the needs of the athletes during the tryout period. It is the school’s desire to see that as many student athletes as possible are involved in the program during the athletic season. Unfortunately, limitations are placed on sizes of teams for each sport.

Tryout Procedures

  1. All tryouts are closed with only candidates and coaches attending. Parents are to drop off and pick up at the time indicated.
  2. Choosing the members of the various athletic teams is the responsibility of the coaching staff.
  3. Before tryouts begin, the athletic director will provide team information to all candidates and parents of the team. Such information shall include: length of tryout period, location and time of tryout, objectives used to select the members of the team, number of team members that will be selected.

Athletic Awards. MOR likes to recognize all members of a team. Therefore, all members will receive some type of acknowledgement. The athletic year will conclude with a sports banquet which will include all athletes and their parents.

Guidelines:

  • Only athletes who finish the season will be recognized at the sports banquet.

Coaches/Parents. All individuals working directly with athletes must have the following:

  1. Fingerprinting
  2. Background Check
  3. Attend a Safe Environment training class, Virtus
  4. Stay up to date with the Virtus readings.
  5. Play Like a Champion Today certification.
  6. CPR Certified

These requirements are mandated by the Archdiocese of Miami and supported by Mother of Our Redeemer. The safety and well-being of the students are our priority.
