Welcome to Vanston Middle School. As you approach entry into VMS Athletics, there
are several things you should be aware of and prepare for. Learn the expectations and abide by
them, have character in and out of school, be committed to what you sign up for, and act like a
champion. The University Interscholastic League, or UIL, and Texas State Laws govern VMS Athletics.
At VMS, boys will participate in football, cross-country, basketball and track and field if they are signed
up for 7th period athletics. No excuses.
In order to compete in any sport in Texas public schools, student athletes must make and
maintain passing grades in all classes. Student failing classes become ineligible and may not compete in
any event. We will not deviate from these guidelines.
Students participating in football and the 3 other sports should register for 7th Period Athletics
when registering this spring. If the athlete decides they only want to play football or just participate in
only one other sport the student athlete should NOT sign up for athletics. Once enrolled in 7th Period
Athletics, the athlete MUST participate in football, basketball (try-outs), cross-country, and track and
field. No excuses.
Again, those student-athletes that do not want to participate in football, but would like to
participate in basketball, cross-country, or track should NOT register for 7th Period Athletics. They will
have an opportunity to try out for basketball after the completion of football. If they make the
basketball team, coaches will decide whether they are eligible to get a schedule change into 7 th Period
Athletics. Cross-country and Track and Field are both after school and does not require the athlete to be
in athletics. (Again, if you are not playing football do not sign up for 7 th Period Athletics.)
However, if you decide to play football we provide all protective equipment and uniforms.
However, we are unable to provide shoes, socks, t-shirts, shorts or sweats through our budgets. These
items must be bought by the athlete. We have some to borrow but if you want to buy shoes, the shoes
must be cleated football shoes or soccer shoes. No metal cleats!! Athletes will purchase their
mandatory knee pads, shorts, T-shirts, and laundry strap through Mesquite Sports Center online
store. (*Sweats are optional) The school code to order the cloth goods will be sent out once it is
received. These items will be kept at school until the end of the 2013-2014 school year so that they are
always available for the athlete to wear. These items will be laundered daily and hung on the athletes
locker prior to practice or games each day.
The first mouthpiece will be supplied to all athletes. Replacing the mouthpiece will be $1.00. Replacing
a laundry strap will be $3.00 if the athlete loses the laundry strap.
Athletes must dress out every day, even though they are ineligible or injured. (Injured athletes
will obviously not participate but still needs to be dressed out) Doctors notes and instructions must be
submitted to Coach Tolentino any time a student-athlete will not participate in practice or a game. An
athlete will continue to practice unless we have a Doctors Note or a trainers evaluation. We are
compassionate, conscientious and understanding with our athletes bumps, bruises and ailments. But
we need your help in order to keep these students in school, at practice and contributing to the team.
After football, this is still a class and we can and will hold students after school for detentions for
their disruptive behavior during 7th period offseason work. (Note: We will hold these students
accountable and if they arent accountable there will be a consequence. We apologize in advance for the
inconvenience but we are trying to build character in these young men.)

opponent, contest official, or spectator during any practice or competition, results of an altercation may or could be dismissal from
the team and/or athletics.
Disrespect to any adult by a student-athlete is intolerable. This includes all school personnel (teachers, administrators, custodians,
lunch room personnel, and substitutes).
CONSEQUENCES:
