skills.
All athletic programs provide .5 credit to students who fulfill the requirements.
Our program expects our student athletes to:

high school experience

14. Jewish Holidays and Athletics
JCHS schedules games, practices, and other team events to ensure that
athletic commitments will not conflict with Shabbat, or any other Jewish
holidays that prohibit such activities to the best of our abilities.
Although practice schedules are set at the discretion of head coaches,
practices will not be held on Fridays, Saturdays, or Jewish holidays during
which athletic activities are prohibited.
If student athletes have any concerns with regard to their ability to balance
athletic commitments with their religious observance, or if students must miss
games or practices for religious reasons, those students should talk to their
head coach at the beginning of the season to avoid any potential conflicts.

15. Families: Teaming with Your Child’s Coach
Athlete, Parent, Coach Communication:
Open communication is the foundation of
the relationship between coaches, athletes
and parents.
Most issues can be resolved when the
athlete communicates directly with the
coach. Encourage your student to
communicate with their coach as the first
step to resolve any issues.
