General
The Orange Unified School District has approved
VP Hockey as a recognized course of "private
study" for the purposes of earning physical
education credit. Participants who meet the necessary
criteria will be eligible to earn 10 units of approved
physical education credit per season (the equivalent
of 2 semesters of PE). Private study PE Credit may
be used in lieu of regular PE classes, or applied
as elective credit for those who have already completed
their minimum two year physical education requirements.
Limitations and Conditions
• Participants
are currently limited to a maximum of 10
credits (1 year) of private
study PE Credit, regardless of the number of seasons
in which they
participate in VP Hockey. Hence, all players will
be obligated to complete
at least one year of physical education classes
at Villa Park High
School. All new players are strongly encouraged
to enroll in and complete
two semesters of physical education at VPHS during
their freshman
year.
• In
order to qualify for PE Credit for a given season
– a student must attend
90% of the games and practices. Excused absences
will only be those
for illness, family emergencies, or school-related
activities cleared in
advance with the coaching staff or Team Manager.
All players will be required
to sign in at each practice and game in order
to verify attendance.
Players suspended from the team for misconduct
or who become
ineligible to play because of school suspension
or expulsion will be
ineligible for PE Credit.
• The
maximum "private study" credit available
to any player is 20 units (2 years)
regardless of the number of seasons in which they
participate in VP
Hockey. Any credits earned beyond the maximum
10 units that may be
used towards VPHS physical education requirements
will be applied as
elective credit.
