Sportsmanship, Ethics & Integrity The Granville School Board and Administration believe that extracurricular activities are an integral part of the education of our students. Our coaches/directors are professionals who have spent countless hours learning the skills, strategies, and requirements of their position. Our amateur participants have also spent many hours in preparation for each contest/event. From tryouts and squad selection to end-of-activity; the highest level of respect, courtesy, and sportsmanship is expected from our coaches, participants, parents, and fans. No verbal, emotional, or physical abuse of a coach/director, participant, or official will be tolerated. NFHS Free Course – The Role of the Parent in Sports

Coach Expectations Parent Expectations Be Good Role Models. Communicate weekly with parents - Email of upcoming weeks events, practices, games, etc. Communicate with athlete concerning their role on the team and their development. Call parent if athlete has not communicated with coach about being absent. Provide a safe playing environment. Provide a copy of team rules and expectations. Report scores to media and to athletic office. Parent Expectations Communicate with coach before practice regarding missing practices – This should be done by the athlete as well. Support Coach and their decisions. Encourage your son/daughter to talk with the coach if they have questions. Celebrate successes, team and personal, as well as handling the defeats. Remember it is your child’s dreams, not yours. Support and encourage your son/daughter without being critical. Provide feedback at the end of the season.

Parental Assistance Concession Stands – Organized by MSP (Middle School Parents) and Coaches – If every parent helps once, then it doesn’t end up being a small group of parents doing it all. Clock / Book Volunteers – Organized by Coaches Team Meals / Snacks – Organized by Coaches or Parents There are many opportunities to volunteer your time and skills to each program, and the coach is the best person to find out how. FINISH!!!!

Schedule Conflicts When a student’s dual participation in extracurricular activities results in a conflict, the following policy will apply. A “performance,” athletic contest,, or musical concert will have priority over normal practices, meetings, and rehearsals. In the event a practice, meeting, or rehearsal is scheduled at the same time as an athletic contest in which the student participates, the athletic contest has priority and the student is to be excused without penalty from the activity. Conversely, in the event a music or other activity performance conflicts with an athletic practice, the performance take priority and the athlete is excused from the athletic practice without penalty.

Club vs. School Sport It is vital that coaches, parents, and athletes understand the commitment they make when joining a team and how difficult it is to honor those commitments when participating in more than one sport during a season. We expect the school sport to take precedent over a club sport in the event of a conflict. Please communicate with the coach if your child is going to be involved in a club sport during their season so that you can work out ahead of time potential conflicts.
