We will not discuss other players that have made and missed the teams. We will judge based only on what we see. We are not perfect and many times, arguments can be made for different kids making the team, however we do have the best interest of the team in mind when forming it. Our process or opinions on what we saw are not up for discussion.

Parent Concerns Verbal process Athlete to Coach of their sport Parent to Coach of their sport Head Coach of sport Written process begins Athletic Coordinator Assistant Principal Principal

Parent Expectations I will always keep in mind that it is a privilege for my child to participate in a sport rather than a right. I will always model good sportsmanship at competitions by the way I treat all athletes, coaches, officials and other fans. I will insist that my child always demonstrate good sportsmanship and treat other athletes, coaches and officials with respect..

Parent Expectations I will always teach my child how to win and lose with grace by the way I act in each of those situations I will always teach my child the importance of competing with integrity and will not help him or her cheat in any manner. I will always remember that while I am not an athlete, I am representing my child’s team at competitions. I will always strive to work with my child’s coach and not against him or her.

Parent Expectations If I have an issue with a coach, I will always approach him or her in an appropriate manner, and should I have the need to discuss a concern, then I will follow the process designated by the athletic department and school administration. I will always refrain from coaching my child immediately before, during and immediately after competitions because of the potential negative effect it may have on my child’s performance. I will always remember that I have had my opportunity in athletics and this experience is about my child. I will have a basic understanding of the rules of my child’s sport.

What to Expect from your Coaches To make decisions that are for the good of the team and your athlete Mutual respect To be honest with athletes and parents To coach your athlete hard and love your athlete To discipline and hold your athlete accountable To help your athlete grow mentally, physically and emotionally To help your athlete become a good citizen To challenge your athlete to do more than they think they can To model and promote “Team”
