Volleyball Program Social Media
Student-Athlete Social Media
Coach MJ-Twitter: program information, training tools, recruiting tips, shout-outs, event updates
Coach JJ-Facebook: program information, training tools, recruiting tips, shout-outs, event updates
These are professional platforms for the program’s positive image
Coaches do not ‘follow’ athletes on social media until athlete is graduated from FFCHS and 18 years old.
Parents should monitor student social media
Students must represent themselves professionally on social media
If you wouldn’t want Coach seeing it, it shouldn’t be on social media
Negative social media posts can result in immediate dismissal from the program and even school- issued discipline
