DRESS CODE DRESS CODE

 

 
TLAP Sports Academy believes in high academic and pro level athletic standards. The dress code should help to minimize distractions from school work. It is an aim of the dress code that students would not feel undue pressure to dress a certain way in order to be accepted by their peers. The dress code gives the academy a sense of identity and thereby promotes academy pride as well as personal pride. Dressing appropriately for specific occasions is a life-long lesson to be instilled in our students. All clothing should be modest, clean, of proper fit, and in good repair.
 
It is the student and parents’ responsibility to insure proper attire before arrival at academy.
