In accordance with our philosophy of athletics and our desire to see as many students as possible participate in the athletic program, we encourage coaches to keep as many students as possible without unbalancing the integrity of their sport. Obviously, time, space, facilities, equipment, personal preference, and other factors will place limitations on the most effective squad for any particular sport. However, when developing policy in this regard, the coach will strive to maximize the opportunity for athletes without diluting the quality of the program.
