<p>can i still party if im an athlete next fall?? its not hardcore D1 its just D3</p>
<p>I think a lot of teams have a 2-day rule, meaning no alcohol 2 days before meets/games. But many, many athletes party after a big win, etc. Just make sure you balance your time decently.</p>
<p>it depends how competitive the sport and school your playing is... if its a serious we want a national championship D3 team you will prolly party very little.. if not then yes</p>
<p>its probably up to you as an athlete. If partying affects your academic and athletic performance too much, you should probably reconsider, but if you can party like a champ and still play/study like a champ, then all the more partying for you!</p>
<p>Honestly I did it but really its up to you. Dont be stupid about it and get hammered the night before a game or meet. Also be knowledgeable about your schools drug testing. Just basically be smart about it.</p>
<p>Some of my d3 friends at Marist party and then run track. running drunk is maybe not the best idea, but it works for him</p>
<p>WHICH FRIEND AT MARIST RUNS TRACK?!?!</p>
<p>My best friend from is on the track team there (last name Cocca).</p>
<p>EDIT: I party in-season (also track), but they do test for marijuana and THC so I've completely stopped doing that (I don't know about DIII, DI has random and frequent drug testing.)</p>
<p>I don't think Oneonta is a D-anything (maybe D3?), but they will put any student on suspension if they have a 'party x' on their hand - think the marks you get going into a club or bar. They use black lights to detect the ink even after it has been scrubbed off...pretty crazy.</p>
