ATHLETIC AFFILIATION

Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA)

Iowa Girls’ High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU)

Urbandale High School is a member of both the IHSAA and IGHSAU.  The purpose of these organizations is to promote, develop, direct, protect and regulate amateur interscholastic athletic relationships between member schools and to stimulate fair play, friendly rivalry and good sportsmanship among contestants, schools, and communities throughout the state.

Central Iowa Metropolitan League (CIML)

The purpose of the Central Iowa Metropolitan League is to enable each member school to operate more effectively and more efficiently in its complete athletic program.  This is accomplished by permitting each member school to develop more complete schedules, to limit travel, and to compete with other high schools of similar enrollment.

The athletic and activity directors of the league manage the CIML with final authority resting with the principals of the member schools.

The 2022-2023 school year marks the first year of the new league alignment in the CIML.  All nine schools are now in one Conference and will compete against one another in all sports.  Schools in the league are:

            Ankeny

            Ankeny Centennial

            Dowling Catholic

            Johnston

            Southeast Polk

            Urbandale

            Waukee

            Waukee Northwest

            West Des Moines Valley

Schedules will be generated for each sport with the majority of competition involving other teams within the league.

Urbandale participates in the CIML Middle School League which consists of schools from around central Iowa.

ACTIVITIES PRINCIPLES

At Urbandale High School the activities program will be governed by the following principles at all times:

Academics First; Activities Second.  Activities can be an integral part of the educational process.  Take the time to remind your participants of the importance of their education and the relevance that activities has in terms of their development.

Conditioning.  Conditioning, both mental and physical, is a key element in the development of a successful activities program.  This begins with proper planning and execution and continues through repetition and hard work.

PARENT-COACH/DIRECTOR RELATIONS

ACTIVITIES POLICIES

Academic Eligibility

• The purpose of the Eligibility Code is to establish and provide for the enforcement of academic standards and standards of conduct for students participating in co-curricular activities in grades 7 through 12 of the Urbandale Community School District.  Underlying this purpose is the premise that participation in co-curricular activities is a privilege to be earned not only by demonstrating a particular talent or ability but also by demonstrating exemplary conduct.

Co-Curricular Eligibility Code

• Standards of Conduct (Board Policy 510.3).
  • Any student, whose conduct either in or out of school, is such as to make him or her unworthy to represent the Urbandale Community School District shall be declared ineligible to participate in co-curricular activities by the administration.
  • These rules apply to students both during and outside of the regularly scheduled season or activity period.
  • The commission of a crime under any governmental law or ordinance except laws and ordinances regulating the use of motor vehicles under which a violation is classified as a simple misdemeanor will be grounds for review relative to the co-curricular eligibility code.  A determination relative to eligibility may be made without regard to whether the student is prosecuted or convicted of such crime by other authorities.
  • Included in this policy is the use, consumption, possession or distribution of alcoholic liquor, wine, beer or any controlled substance.  Furthermore, presence at a function where such substances are served illegally to minors shall also be a violation of the Eligibility Code, even if the student does not consume the substance.

• Sanctions (Board Policy 510.5)
  • These are mere guidelines for use and may be modified at the discretion of the Activities Director in consultation with other district officials.

*The differences for the 1^st Offense represent a self-report vs. administrative discovery.

**Cheerleading will be handled relative to the season in which the student is participating.

Participation in Non-School Sponsored Athletics

Students wishing to participate in non-school sponsored athletics during the same interscholastic high school sports season must obtain the written permission of the Activities Director prior to competing outside of Urbandale.  Students should submit requests in writing no less than thirty days prior to the event and communicate with the Head Coach regarding the situation.  Coaches retain their authority to consider the amount of participation time for a student based on the student’s commitment to the school-sponsored activity.

Although approval is not required for competition out of season, when it conflicts with another school activity, students should communicate with the coach/director in season as soon as possible regarding any missed practice/contest time.

College Tryouts

Scholarship Rule 36.15(2) h prohibits high school students from participating and/or training with or against college athletes who are representing their collegiate institution or as part of an event sanctioned or sponsored by a collegiate institution. Nothing in the rules prohibits a high school student from participating in a one-time tryout with or against members of a college team with permission from the member school’s administration and the respective collegiate institution’s athletic administration.

Athlete Ejections

• Players that are ejected will fall under the jurisdiction of those policies outlined by the Iowa High School Athletic Association and the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.

• Second Offense:  The ejected player will sit out the next four (4) regularly scheduled/rescheduled/contracted dates of competition at that level of competition and all other contests in the interim.
• While there is no formal policy beyond the second ejection in a season, punishment would follow such an event and the level of that punishment would be severe.
• Any player that is ejected from competition will not participate the remainder of that day, in addition to the penalties listed above.

Hazing

• The Urbandale Community School District believes all individuals should be treated with respect and dignity.  Students should be able to participate in school sponsored programs in an environment free from any behavior that is intimidating, hostile, offensive, or dangerous.  Students found to be in violation of this policy are subject to the co-curricular eligibility code, as well as all other applicable school policies.

• Iowa Code Section 708.10 states the following about hazing:

  • A person commits an act of hazing when the person intentionally or recklessly engages in any act or acts involving forced activity which endanger the physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into, or affiliation with any organization operating in connection with a school, college, or university.  Prohibited acts include, but are not limited to, any brutality of a physical nature such as whipping, forced confinement, or any other forced activity which endangers the physical health or safety of the student.
  • For purposes of this section, "forced activity" means any activity which is a condition of initiation or admission into, or affiliation with, an organization, regardless of a student's willingness to participate in the activity.
  • A person who commits an act of hazing is guilty of a simple misdemeanor.
• A person who commits an act of hazing which causes serious bodily injury to another is guilty of a serious misdemeanor.

Transportation

• The Activities Director will coordinate all transportation.
• Travel will be conducted by school bus when appropriate.  In general, travel to locations close to Urbandale High School may be conducted by individual students under the coordination of the Head Coach/Director.  Such locations include:  Dowling, Hoover, Johnston, Valley, etc.
• Students are expected to ride to and from events on the bus.  In the event that a coach/director allows students to ride to or from an event other than on a bus, the coach/director will develop and implement a plan that accounts for the student and requires written parental permission.  Students wishing to ride home with someone other than their parent or guardian must have prior administrative approval.
• Coaches/Directors returning to the building after hours are required to stay with students until they are picked up from the school or leave using their own means of transportation.  The Cheerleading sponsor or designee is required to do the same for all Cheerleaders.
• When student drivers are used, Coaches/Directors may conduct practice sessions prior to road events. 
• Coaches/Directors must provide a stated time of arrival at the destination and must allow students adequate travel time to reach the destination.

Activity Awards

• The Performing Arts program manages their own awards
• Varsity letters will be awarded for participation in all varsity interscholastic athletic programs at the discretion of the Head Coach.
• The athletic chenille letter will be Navy and Red in the Split U design.
• Criteria for earning a varsity letter will be established by the coach/director of each activity. 
• If, for any reason other than injury or illness, an athlete is dismissed from the squad, the athlete shall not receive any type of athletic award for that particular sport in that season.
• The following guidelines will be used in the distribution of the actual letter:
  • Students will receive only (1) chenille Letter.
  • Students receiving their first Athletic Letter overall will receive a chenille letter and a sport-specific pin.

All Conference / All State Selection

  • For All Conference teams, each Athletic Director in the Central Iowa Conference is responsible for a sport.  Within that meeting, All Conference teams are voted on by the coaches.
  • The Athletic Director in charge conducts a meeting where coaches nominate players that they feel are worthy of All Conference Status.
  • Those nominated are voted upon by the coaches at the meeting.  This process is followed for both 1^st,  2^nd, and 3^rd Teams for All Conference.
  • Honorable mention selections are held at the discretion of the coach and are based upon a formula established by the league.

• All students in grades 7-12 that are involved in  Interscholastic Athletics are required to review and sign, along with a parent or guardian, a document provided by the Department of Public Health titled: “Heads Up: Concussions in High School Sports” prior to beginning participation.  This is an annual requirement and is managed by the Activities Director.
• The Urbandale Board of Directors, in action on April 1, 2013, approved the ImPACT test as a requirement for Interscholastic Athletics participation at the high school. Parents do have the ability to opt-out of this test if they elect to not participate.  This test is given annually after July 1.
