CHRIST THE KING SCHOOL ATHLETIC POLICY
The aim of the extracurricular sports program at Christ the King Catholic School (CKS) is to endow all athletes with disciplined minds, healthy bodies, competitive spirits, and a desire to excel. The program is under the management of the Athletic Director.
SPORTS AND LEAGUES AVAILABLE
Only students that participate in the Dallas Parochial League may represent Christ the King Catholic School. No other league may use the school’s name or mascot.
SPORTS SIGN - UPS
In grades 5 - 6, teams are sponsored by the Dallas Parochial League and competition is with other Catholic schools in Dallas. The focus during these grades continues to be the development of each player's skills. If an athlete misses practice or displays an attitude that is not conducive to development, the coach is not required to play the student-athlete(s) in question during the following game(s). In the event that more than one team must be fielded, the process for selection will be more controlled, so players will be more equally divided. Athletes may be grouped by position and then selected at random. The Athletic Director will supervise this process with assistance from the coaches.
In grades 7 - 8, skills development is still emphasized, but competition is also heavily stressed. An athlete may be held out for missing practice or displaying an attitude not conducive to development. The team selection process will be in accordance with DPL guidelines and may include "A/B Team" selection and/or "Varsity / Jr. Varsity" selection. The Athletic Director will oversee this process and be responsible.
COACHING AT CKS
Players, coaches and parents please be aware that game conflicts with other DPL sports and outside leagues cannot be rescheduled to avoid an overlapping of games. The DPL will only reschedule games for school-related conflicts, not outside conflicts or other DPL sports conflicts.

All coaches who have not previously attended a Dallas Parochial League sponsored "Play Like a Champion" workshop must attend a winter "Play Like a Champion" workshop in order to coach Dallas Parochial League games.
