Being named captain or MVP is not a right- it is a privilege. In order to be
considered for this type of recognition, you will be held to the highest standards. If
these are important to you, then you must conduct yourself in the manner
expected of a captain or MVP.
Here are some guidelines:
considered for this type of recognition, you will be held to the highest standards. If
these are important to you, then you must conduct yourself in the manner
expected of a captain or MVP.
Here are some guidelines:
- You must conduct yourself in accordance with the team rules, regulations, and
guidelines. - You must have no unexcused absences. Remember that the decision as to what
qualifies as an unexcused absence rests solely with the coaches. - You must be at all meets, whether competing or not.
- You must not participate in unauthorized club sports.
- You must be a member of the message board and must check the message
board on a regular basis. - If you are a distance runner, you must be logging all of your runs in a timely
fashion on RunningAHEAD. Directions can be found on the message board. - You must have no serious discipline problems including but not limited to
Saturday detentions and/or suspensions. - Captains and/or MVPs need not be seniors.
- Captains and/or MVPs need not be the top performers on the team.
- If no one has earned the privilege of being named captain, there will be no
captain named. The same holds for MVPs. - Boys and girls will be held to the same standards and will not be treated
differently. Standards will not be lowered. As a result, there may be a number
of different situations arising, where one gender has a captain and the other
does not, or one gender has an MVP and the other does not. - If captains are named, this may be done at any point during the season,
possibly not before the Winter Sports Awards program. - If MVPs are named, it will be done at the Winter Sports Awards program.
- In general, we do not vote for captains or MVPs so that they do not turn into
popularity contests. - Periodically, Mr. Harmer hosts "captain's breakfasts." At times, we send non-
captain representatives to these breakfasts, partly as an evaluative procedure.
This is also due in part to the frequency with which past captains have had AM
class or AP science lab. We have had to send freshmen before. If we ask you to
attend, we may not necessarily be naming you captain but evaluating how well
you can represent the team now or in the future.
