November 1, 201213 yr Questions, questions, questions.... Should the school have any say at all in things that go on off school property? If so, what is the appropriate penalty? Who should impose it, a coach or an administrator? Should the penalty be uniform across all sports/activities or should the team/coach decide?
November 1, 201213 yr I don't think the school as in the academic institution, should have any ability to punish outside of the legal system with a suspension or expulsion. Playing a sport however is a privilage IMO and if the coach determines you violated a team rule then you should be punished accordingly. That can be extra running, suspension from games or removed from the team completely if the coach deems it necessary.

November 1, 201213 yr Players and parents sign contracts with team rules. Drinking is on those rule contracts. They are bound to that contract.

November 1, 201213 yr Author What if a player from the bowling team and a player from the table tennis team were at the same party and both were caught drinking in violation of team rules. Should the penalties be similar/equitable or should it just be up to the coach about what they think it is appropriate? For illustrative purposes lets assume the bowling coach is different than the table tennis coach, although as we all know in most schools the same individual is likely to fill both of these roles.

I think the coaches would have to put their heads together and agree on enforcing the same consequences with their players. If "the same" consequences aren't possible due to differences in between the two sports, the coaches need to make sure they are as comparable as possible.

Intersting being that these sports are more individual based than team sport based.

Lets say that they dont, tennis coach suspends their kid, bowling coach doesnt. Now what?
November 1, 201213 yr I think there should be the same set of rules/punishment for all of athletics. Every athlete signs the same rules no matter if they are a RB or an alternate on the corn hole team. Then if a specific sport wants to have additional rules/punishments they have their athletes agree to those.
November 1, 201213 yr Author Intersting being that these sports are more individual based than team sport based. That wasn't the intention. Pretend they are not.
November 1, 201213 yr Lets say that they don't, tennis coach suspends their kid, bowling coach doesn't. Now what? Now the school administrators are gonna have to straighten things out with some parents that are bent out of shape.
