ATHLETICS
The Beeville Independent School District believes that the district athletic program should be an integral part of the total educational process.
The mission of the BISD Office of Athletics is to ensure and enhance the quality of life for youth by providing competitive activities. The pitting of one’s skills, knowledge, and talent against friendly opponents is a means of learning one’s own strengths and weaknesses.
Good contests, properly supervised, give youthful competitors the opportunity to gain self-confidence, improve skills, exhibit good sportsmanship, ethical behavior and integrity. Sports programs help the participant to develop physically, morally, and mentally.
Athletic offerings within the district are competitive and diversified, thereby allowing students the opportunity to realize their full potential relative to growth and development. All programs are designed not only to teach athletic skills, but also to instill good character and teach sound values.
It is felt that the success of the athletic program sets the tone for the entire school year. It builds a positive self image for the individual athlete, the team, the school, the community, and importantly, for the Beeville I.S.D.
It is our final goal that sports activities will produce young men and women who will be able to enter the community and become constructive, contributing members of society: citizens that will leave their mark on this world by making it a better place for future generations.

FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES
Dear Parents,
Greetings from the A.C. Jones High School Fellowship of Christian Athletes Huddle. This letter cannot fully explain FCA, but will serve as a tool to communicate to you the basics of what FCA is and is not.
FCA is not a religion, nor does it stress any doctrine outside of a love for and faith unto Jesus Christ. FCA is not affiliated with, but encourages participation in all denominations and church affiliations. FCA is designed to allow young people living in a secular world the opportunity to come together in fellowship and in celebration of their common risen Lord. FCA encourages and promotes church attendance according to choice. If an individual is unchurched, FCA will hopefully lead and guide that person to find a church home. If any individual is already churched, FCA will nurture that person’s growth in his/her church.
FCA is nationally affiliated. FCA is an organization of huddles throughout the United States and throughout sports from the Junior High level to the professional level.
Our particular huddle will provide an opportunity for young people to share a common faith, to grow spiritually and mentally. FCA will provide a Christian environment for your child to grow in, find reprieve in and to hopefully become aware of their calling in Jesus Christ.
Finally, FCA is an independent organization, which is not sponsored by the Beeville ISD, but operates as a separate entity.
FCA is student led and organized. This will prove to be an exciting year for those who participate. If you have any questions regarding your son/daughter’s participation in The Fellowship of Christian Athletes please call, I will be more than happy to discuss FCA with you. Please encourage your son/daughter to participate in this worthwhile and fulfilling organization.
Sincerely,
Adolfo Dominguez/Chris Soza

A.C. Jones Trojan Athletic Booster Club
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the A.C. Jones High School 2006-2007 athletic season. We are very excited about all the athletic events coming up and look forward to seeing all of you at these functions in support of our athletes.
Let us explain the role of the Trojan Athletic Booster Club. We are here to support all athletic programs in the district in whatever capacity we can. During the year we provide support for our athletes by operating concession stands, sponsoring tournaments, selling spirit paraphernalia, and having fundraisers. With limited budgets we are here to help subsidize the athletic programs. Examples will be in the area of supplies, travel and meals. In addition we give scholarships to our deserving seniors whose parents get involved with the booster club. We are here to help promote spirit within our community and support of our athletes. It is our goal to get parents like you involved in your sons/daughters athletic endeavors.
Last year our boosters purchased over $15,000 in various supplies including: Basketball "shoot around" ($1,500), softball cover ($2,100), jump soles for off-season ($490), DVD combos ($3,840), Hutto Basketball Tournament ($491), soccer equipment ($753), baseball batting cage ($1,650), digital sony cameras ($1,199), track equipment ($1,479), power lifting bench shirts ($290), and spirit flags ($1354) were some of the supplies purchased for our programs. In addition, $3,000 in athletic scholarships was also awarded at the annual All-Sports Banquet.
Our Athletic Booster Club meetings are held at the A.C. Jones High School on the third Monday of each month. This is tentative and could change as needed but will be announced in the local paper. We invite you to join us and contribute to our planning sessions and discussions.
There are a number of ways you can get involved and offer your support:
Booster Club Meetings----General Membership
We sincerely hope that you will consider being a part of your son/daughter athletic endeavors. If you have any questions please feel free to contact any of our members or officers.
Sincerely,
The 2006-2007 Athletic Booster Club Officers:
President: Mike Barber Vice President: Gilbert Herrera
Treasurer: Gracie Horton Secretary: Julie Jones
Please note that in order for senior athletes to be eligible for an Athletic Booster Scholarship this year, their parents must be members of the Booster Club by October 1, 2006 and must perform a minimum of 35 hours of service. (Each of the above activities counts towards the 35 hours of service required.) Parents must also attend at least 4 meetings. Please become a member and get involved! Thank you for your continued support! Go TROJANS/LADY TROJANS!!!!!
EXPLANATION OF ATHLETICS
Both parenting and coaching are extremely difficult vocations. By establishing an understanding of each position, we are better able to accept the actions of the other and provide greater benefit to children. As parents, when your children become involved in our program, you have a right to understand what expectations are placed on your child. This begins with clear communication from the coach of the child’s program.
Communication you should expect from your child’s coach:
1. Philosophy of the coach
2. Locations and times of practices and contests
3. Team requirements, e.g., practices, special equipment, out-of-season conditioning
Communication coaches expect from parents:
1. Concerns expressed directly to the coach
2. Notification of any schedule conflicts well in advance
As your children become involved in the programs at Beeville, they will experience some of the most rewarding moments of their lives. It is important to understand that there may be times when things do not go the way you or your child wishes. At these times, discussion with the coach is encouraged. Examples of these situations include the treatment of your child, ways to help your child improve, concerns about your child’s attitude, or academic support.
It is very difficult to accept your child not playing as much, when, or where you may desire. It will be the coach’s discretion to make all decisions about playing time or position for individual student-athletes, regardless of the score of the game or the personal feelings of the student-athlete’s parents.
Coaches are professionals. They make judgments based on what they believe to be best for all students involved. As you have seen from the list above, certain things can be and should be discussed with your child’s coach. Other things should be left to the discretion of the coach. Examples include team strategy, other student-athletes, playing time, etc.
There are situations that may require a conference between the coach and the parent. These are encouraged. It is important that both parties involved have a clear understanding of the other’s position. There will not be a conference regarding playing time without the student-athlete and coach present.
When these conferences are necessary, the following procedures should be followed to help promote resolution:
1. Call the coach to set up an appointment.
2. If the coach cannot be reached, call the Athletic Office. A meeting will be set up for you.
If the meeting with the coach does not provide a satisfactory resolution, the next step is to set up an appointment with the Athletic Director.
Since research indicates that a student involved in extracurricular activities has greater success during adulthood, these athletic programs have been established. Many of the character traits required to be a successful participant are exactly those that will promote a successful life after high school.
TROJAN ATHLETICS
According to University Interscholastic League rules, being in athletics is a privilege and not a right. Only those students who abide by school and athletic policies will be allowed to represent Beeville I.S.D.
When young men and young women sign up for athletics and become a member of a team, they make a commitment. They are obligated to follow the rules and regulations of the program. They are not forced to participate. It is voluntary; therefore, they are expected to follow rules of order.
Parents should strive to help their son or daughter to achieve success in athletics. Success is defined as participating at 100% of the individual’s ability. We can never expect athletes to do more than they are capable; however, we do want them to obtain their fullest potential. Supportive parents can instill this desire in student athletes long after their playing days are over by seeing that the student is on time, attends practices and games, and follows the rules and regulations.
* Your support is appreciated, however; a ticket is a privilege to observe the contest, not a license to verbally assault or be generally obnoxious. This privilege may be taken away if abused.
BEEVILLE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
MISSION STATEMENT
It is our purpose to train student athletes to become:
BETTER PEOPLE---who are honest, sincere and enthusiastic
BETTER STUDENTS---who value education and study hard
BETTER ATHLETES---who become physically, mentally and spiritually stronger:
PLAY WITH CLASS!
2. CLASS IS HAVING MANNERS - ALWAYS SAYING THANK YOU AND PLEASE - COMPLIMENTING PEOPLE FOR ANY AND EVERY TASK THAT WAS WELL DONE!
3. CLASS IS TREATING EVERY OTHER PERSON AS YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO TREAT YOU.
4. CLASS NEVER MAKES EXCUSES FOR ONE’S SHORTCOMINGS, BUT IT ALWAYS HELPS THE OTHER PERSON TO BOUNCE BACK FROM THEIR MISTAKES!
5. CLASS NEVER BRAGS OR BOASTS ABOUT ONE’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND IT NEVER TEARS DOWN OR DIMINISHES THE ACHIEVEMENTS OFANOTHER PERSON!
7. CLASS IS SEEN IN YOUR APPEARANCE. HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES WHO PRESENT A NEAT, CLEAN-CUT IMAGE BRING RESPECT TO THEMSELVES, THEIR TEAM, THEIR SCHOOL, AND THEIR COMMUNITY!
PLAY WITH TOTAL EFFORT!
1. TOTAL EFFORT IS THIS APPROACH - "I WILL DO MY BEST THIS PLAY!"
2. TOTAL EFFORT MEANS THAT YOU - "SPEND EVERY PENNY!"
3. TOTAL EFFORT IS SEEN IN THE ATHLETES WHO "DO THE EXTRAS!"
5. WHEN YOU PLAY WITH TOTAL EFFORT YOU "MULTIPLY YOURSELF!"
"TROJAN PRIDE STANDS FOR CLASS AND TOTAL EFFORT!"
THE TROJAN WAY
THE TROJAN APPROACH TO INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
PLAYER TO PLAYER----COACH TO COACH
PLAYER TO COACH---COACH TO PLAYER
This is the essence of team. In order for us to be all that we wish to become we all have to make an investment in the relationships that we have among ourselves. This attitude speaks to the idea of the nurturing the depth of our relationships as coaches and players. These relationships or lack of them are what will eventually make or break us. We must understand and comprehend that these relationships must be worked on all of the times. A willingness to extend oneself and at times be vulnerable is necessary towards the fulfillment of real meaningful and substantial relationships, which will serve to move us closer towards our goals.

BEEVILLE TROJAN APPROACH TO ATHLETICS
Every one of you wants to start on a team. Unfortunately, not all of you will. The coaching staff must determine who will start. Consequently, we feel it is important for you to understand how we will decide on Depth Charts as practice progresses. The following five points will be:
We will give every athlete an opportunity to earn a position on our team. It’s our desire to play as many people as possible, but obviously we cannot play everyone. The above information is provided so that you will know exactly how we will evaluate you. Our best athletes will lead us to a championship. Our main concern is to be as fair as possible with you and to be truly honest. If you do not feel that you are being treated fairly, see your coach. In the event you are still not satisfied, then come see the Head Coach. We are here for the same reasons you are:
1. See that you get an education and a diploma.
2. See that you mature and grow as a man or woman.
Consequently, the best players, according to the criteria previously mentioned, will start. In closing, let us reiterate that our starters will be determined on the field by their performance. We have great respect for you and believe that you will know your assignments, give 100%, and will be a team.

Letter Requirements and Awards
General Requirements:
Junior High: Athletes will receive a certificate (1) for participating in at least one sport.
Lettering by Sports:
Athletic Trainer
The Athletic Trainer is licensed by the State of Texas to treat and rehabilitate minor injuries. The Athletic Trainer will work closely with an athlete's personal physician in all cases requiring physician's care. The Trainer is responsible for monitoring the physical well being of all B.I.S.D. athletes during practices and games. Since it will be impossible for the Trainer to personally attend all practices and games, he/she will work with both coaches and parents to ensure that our athletes' physical well being is monitored at all times. The Athletic Trainer will handle any insurance questions.
Athletic Injuries
All athletes will be coached, instructed and conditioned to compete at the peak of their abilities. Along with the competition and effort to acquire excellence is the reality of possible injury. Despite efforts made by BISD coaches and personnel to provide proper conditioning, protective equipment and safety practices, not all injuries are preventable and severe injuries can occur during athletic participation. When an athlete is injured during an athletic event, they must inform their coach and the Athletic Trainer as soon as possible. If the athlete goes to the Doctor or to the Hospital, they must bring back a signed note from the attending Doctor that states their injury, treatment and the length of time that they will be out of athletics. If the athlete has a note from a physician not to participate in athletics, ONLY a physician can release the athlete. Parents cannot over rule physicians’ orders.
Athletic Insurance
The Beeville Independent School District has a sincere interest in the welfare of the students and families of those participating in our interscholastic activities. For that reason, BISD provides your son/daughter with a supplemental accident insurance policy while he/she is participating in any UIL sponsored event.
The coverage provides benefits for medical expenses only which are incurred due to accidents during regularly scheduled and supervised practices and games as governed by the UIL. This is secondary or supplemental coverage insurance. This supplemental policy states that all bills be submitted to your family insurance company before the UIL policy will take effect. If you do not have any insurance on your child then and only then does our insurance pay for each injury and may not pay all of the medical cost.
Any remaining balances will be the responsibility of the parent!!!
Once again, this policy only provides coverage while your child is participating in UIL activities, and if you have any other type of insurance, you must file with them first. This policy does not cover any physical educational classes.
Should your son or daughter be injured while participating in our interscholastic activities and requires medical attention, the following procedures must be followed:
1. Report the injury to the Athletic Trainer or Head Coach.
2. Ask for a claim form from the Athletic Trainer or Head Coach.
Some important time lines:
1. Medical attention must begin within 30 days after the accident.
2. Claim form must be filled within 45 days after the accident.
Athletic Scholarships
The most important aspect of obtaining an athletic scholarship is to be scholastically qualified. Athletes must begin working on the scholastic qualifications their first year in high school. Requirements require passing a certain number of core courses and making minimum ACT and/or SAT test scores. ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL COURSES COUNT AS CORE COURSES. Parents and athletes should work with their Counselor and Athletic Director to ensure that they are on tract scholastically. Head Coaches of each sport will work with college recruiters and recruiting services to provide information and film on all potential college athletes. All requests for information received by parents and/or athletes should be carefully filled out and returned in a timely manner. The Financial Aid information requested may very well be a determining factor in an athlete receiving a scholarship as the number of athletic scholarships available has been severely reduced during recent years. In all cases, an academic scholarship coupled with an athletic scholarship is the most desirable situation since they include monies for expenses other than tuition, books, and fees. STUDENTS SHOULD WORK HARD TO INSURE THAT THEY QUALIFY FOR BOTH!
NCAA COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
1. Graduate from High School.
2. Take the ACT and SAT Tests.
REMEMBER: THESE ARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. STRIVE TO DO YOUR BEST IN PREPARING YOURSELF ACADEMICALLY FOR A COLLEGE EDUCATION.
SAT 1 is Verbal & Mathematics ACT Test Dates (319) 337-1270
SAT 2 is Subject Achievement Test ACT Records (319) 337-1313
* Deadline for application is approximately four to six weeks in advance of the test.
UIL has developed a Parent Information Manual. The web address for this manual is
