ALL team members (this includes students, coaches, parents and guests) must abide by the following rules, or they will not be permitted to join or stay on the team. NO EXCEPTIONS.
 

1. SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT AT ALL TIMES. This is a zero tolerance issue. You must follow ALL range rules and commands.
    

2. The speed limit at MSSA is 15 MPH. You are expected to adhere to it. This is a zero tolerance issue. You will be removed from the range if there is a violation of this rule.
    

3. Shelby County Schools has a zero tolerance policy regarding weapons on any school campus. This includes the parking lot. DO NOT bring your shotgun to school in your vehicle.
    

4. The use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco in any form is strictly prohibited at any practice or competition. This is a zero tolerance issue.
    

5. Wear appropriate attire (closed toe shoes only, no flip-flops or sandals allowed) and safety gear (approved eye and ear protection). The uniform for competition is khaki shorts or pants as approved by the Coach, team shirt, team shooting vest and optionally your team cap.
    

6. You must maintain a passing grade point average in at least five subjects in order to compete.

   • Students will be required to present the Coach or his representative a current copy of their report card at the end of each grading period. Students who do not pass five subjects the previous school year will not be able to participate in the first semester until passing averages are received in five by the end of the first semester. Students must be satisfying the school's attendance requirements.

7. All students must provide the following documents prior to participation:

   • Proof of a current (not prior May 1) physical examination

   • Signed agreement and full release

   • Signed conduct agreement (contract)

   • SCTP and ATA registration forms

8. You must attend practice in order to be on the team.

   • There are no excused absences for conflicts with other team sports or jobs. If you attended school the day of practice, you are expected to be at practice. You should schedule your work around practice. If there has been a last minute change in the practice schedule, you may be excused due to work if the absence is approved in advance by the Coach. Shooters must make at least 60% of scheduled practices in order to be considered for one of the first three squads.
      

9. Be courteous to fellow students, parents, and the Coach. No yelling or physical contact. ABSOLUTELY NO HORSEPLAY (hitting, pushing, etc).
    

10. All fees must be kept up to date.
     

11. If a shotgun does not belong to you, DO NOT TOUCH IT.
     

12. You must abide by all rules of MSSA or any other range we may visit.
     

13. All Arlington team members have used up their lifetime “guest” visits at MSSA and cannot shoot as a guest of anyone. In order for Arlington Trappers to shoot at MSSA outside of an organized team practice, they must become a member of MSSA.
     

14. Any student found to be in violation of any rule will be given a warning. Three warnings of any kind will result in removal from the team for cause. One violation of a zero tolerance issue will result in immediate removal from the team for cause. There will be no refunds of dues/fees paid if a student is removed from the team for cause.
