Appropriate Dress

The Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) has rules on appropriate dress. These rules apply to practices and league matches. Our team can make more strict rules if needed. We don't want to, so make sure you are well within the SCTP guidelines. Please keep the standards and expectations of Dowling Catholic in mind, as some clothing items that may be acceptable by SCTP rules may not be considered appropriate for a Dowling athlete.

From the SCTP handbook:

Section 8.C (SAFETY)

• Foot Wear: Shooting in flip-flops or opened-toed/heeled shoes/sandals is prohibited. Violation of this rule may be grounds for disqualification.

Section 9 (DRESS AND CONDUCT)

A. Appropriate Dress

Each registered SCTP participant represents not only the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation, but also the entire Scholastic Clay Target Program including one’s team, the team’s sponsoring institution (e.g., school, club, church, community organization, youth organization, etc.), and at the national level, their state.

Promoting a positive image is in the best interest ofthe SCTP and everyone involved with it. Appropriate dress for everyone associated with SCTP goes a very long way in making a positive impression.

• Tops: Shirt must have sleeves. Items of clothing that expose any part of the torso are prohibited. These include, but are not limited to, cutoff T-shirts, halter tops, tanktops, etc.

• Bottoms: Short shorts and low riding shorts or pants revealing undergarments or buttocks are prohibited.

• Clothing Adornments: Shirts, hats, pants – any clothing – and any other associated items (including flags and banners) carried, worn, etc. with pictures, caricatures, designs, messages, writings, or other embellishments with direct or indirect references to alcohol, tobacco, sex or sexual connotations, drugs, gambling or profanities are prohibited.

COACHES: You are expected to uphold and enforce this dress and conduct code! Starting with the 2015-16 season. The athlete may be given one (1) warning, and subsequent violations will result in disqualification from the event.
