The approved criteria for earning a varsity letter shall be communicated to the participants prior to the first event so that each member is aware of what is required to earn a varsity letter.
All appeals are subject to the discretion of the athletic director. Head coaches have the right to withhold awards if necessary as a disciplinary consequence. The athletic director and the principal shall be informed by the head coach prior to the withholding of an award.
