Why Compliance
This department operates with
integrity and seeks to be the model
for other Athletic Departments. As
such, we have a moral obligation to
follow the rules.
Likelihood of us getting caught
Only takes one disgruntled player or
parent to make a call to another school
or PSUAC
Inadvertent admission on
Facebook
Do not say you are going to
practice if you are going to
play pick-up games at an open
gym. There is a difference!
