Preface: The criteria for earning the Union Grove Shooting Club varsity letter have been established by the members of the Union Grove Shooting Club coaching staff. A philosophy underlies the criteria. The coaching staff believes that, for students at our school, earning a varsity letter should require evidence of commitment to team and expertise in sport. Measuring expertise is not a science. The criteria are set according to standards the coaching staff believes are reasonable. The policies are intended to encourage students to persevere toward the goal of earning the varsity letter rather than to discourage anyone who fails to attain the standards. All coaches are invited to participate in the process of adopting and amending the criteria. Suggestions for change must be recommended by a coach and are adopted only upon approval of a majority of the full coaching staff.
Athletes who remain as members of the team in good standing throughout the full season and meet the following requirements will be eligible to receive a varsity letter, subject to the provisions below.
