AWARDS

Letter and certificate awards

1. Certificates are given to all participants, from the Freshman level to the Varsity.

2. All athletes desiring to letter must meet the following basic requirements: Attend practice, squad meetings and contests regularly and promptly. If a player will be missing a practice or contest, the coach is to be notified personally by the player involved, prior to the practice or contest, unless the athlete is out of school due to any injury, illness, etc. This is very important!

Demonstrate to coaches, teammates, to the school and to the community his/her loyalty, cooperation, sportsmanship and Christian citizenship.

Meet the specific letter standards for each sport, for all managers, statisticians and four year athletes.

3. Four Year Athletes - An athlete is eligible to receive a letter if he or she has been on one or more sport teams in the same season for four (4) years, even if he or she has not met the requirements for a particular sport. Transfer students will receive credit for letters in their previous school(s) if they letter in that sport their first year here at Concordia.

4. Managers and Statisticians - A manager will receive a letter the second year and each succeeding year that he or she performs the duties in a particular sport successfully. This includes attending the daily practices. A statistician will receive a letter the third year and the succeeding year if he or she performs the duties of a particular sport successfully.

5. Student Athletic Trainers - A student athletic trainer will receive a letter at the completion of one full year of service to the athletic training department. The student athletic trainer must consistently attend practices and games according to a written schedule (which will be made out before each season) or according to the head athletic trainer’s recommendations. Student trainers must hold current CPR and First Aid certifications and attend a trainer camp in the summer or complete an educational program conducted by the head trainer.

6. Letters are awarded in all Varsity sports to those individuals who meet the minimum standards as shown above. When receiving the first letter, the recipient may purchase a letter jacket. An award pin will also be presented for each letter received.
