Students are never allowed to travel to and from games in another student’s vehicle without permission from both the students’ (driver’s and rider’s) parents. It is Academy policy that student athletes ride the team bus to and from games played away from campus. There are two specific exceptions to this policy:

1. When parents attend as spectators and take their own child home. When parents take their child home after an away game, they must tell the coach directly. To be picked up from a game by an adult other than his/her parent, a student will need to bring a dated note of permission to the Director of Athletics no later than 9:30 am on the day of the game. Because of liability issues, we can make no exceptions.
2. When a game is closer to home than to NYA. Students may drive themselves to a game that is considerably closer to their place of residence than to NYA for the sole purpose of driving home afterwards. No other students may ride with them. Parents must send in a dated note to the Director of Athletics giving their permission, no later than 9:30 am on the day of the game.
