We must have a sincere commitment from all athletes, parents, coaches and administrators. For us to be successful, effective communication must occur.
The school athletic department and administration believe strongly in being accessible to parents and supportive of the coaching staff.
We must continually attempt to improve communication with students and parents.
1. When and where practices are being held.
2. About his/her coaching philosophy.
3. The expectations that he/she has for the members of the team.
4. What is required to be part of the team.
5. If your child is injured in a game or practice.
6. Whenever any disciplinary action results in your son/daughter not participating in a contest or practice.
1. Any unhealthy mental or physical strain you detect at home.
2. How you can contribute to your child’s skill improvement and development.
3. Any dramatic changes you detect in your child’s behavior.
1. Playing time.
2. Team strategy or play calling.
3. Other student athletes.
1. Any specific health concerns.
2. Notification of any schedule conflicts well in advance.
3. Your commitment to the program and how you can make a contribution to the program’s success. An example is that you will make sure your child is at practice on time and that he/she eats properly and gets enough rest. That you will not bad mouth the coaches or teammates of your child.
1. Make an appointment with the coach. Do not approach a coach after a contest.
2. If the coach cannot be reached, call the Athletic Director to set up a meeting.
3. Please do not attempt to confront a coach before, during or after a game or practice. These can by busy and emotional times for both parties. This may not promote objective analysis of the situation.
1. Call and set up a meeting with the Athletic Director.
2. At this meeting the appropriate next step can be determined.
