We are aware that most active and willing students involve themselves in many activities with the result that occasionally there will be a conflict in practices and/or competitions.  Therefore it is our responsibility to help guide and direct students in their choices so these conflicts will be minimized.  However, we should not discourage students from developing and demonstrating multiple talents and abilities.

The following guidelines are provided to help students, parents, and coaches to deal fairly and consistently with conflicts that may arise with these multi-talented students:

For activities offered within Trinity:

• In the event that a student is scheduled for a practice and a performance at the same time, the performance should always take precedence with no penalty to the student in the activity for which he/she is not participating.
• In the event a student is scheduled for activities of equal classification (i.e. two practices or two competitions occurring simultaneously) the child should be allowed to make a choice without penalty from either of the coaches of the two activities.

For activities offered outside of Trinity:

• We understand that students can also become involved in activities offered within their community and outside of Trinity’s guidance (i.e. AAU, Jr. Vikings, School leagues).  If an outside activity conflicts with a sport in which a student wishes to participate, it will become necessary for the student, under the direction of his/her parents, to make a commitment between one activity or the other.
• Students and parents should contact the Athletic Director in the event of a known conflict in order to make a knowledgeable decision and an appropriate commitment to one team or the other.
