The Challenge Being a Triple-Impact Competitor is not easy. It requires mental discipline and knowing your values so well you don’t sacrifice them under pressure. But if you build a commitment to being a Triple-Impact Competitor into who you are as a person, you will find it can provide a larger meaning for your involvement in sports. And it will pay off for you in meaningful ways in the rest of your life.

5. The Positive Sports Parent
EDUCATIONAL ATHLETICS Philosophy
BETTER ATHLETES, BETTER PEOPLE
extension of classroom - educational climate
A parent should:
Make no remarks to the referees or to the players, coaches or spectators of the opposing team unless intended to convey genuine interest, friendship or encouragement.
Avoid sharp remarks directed to players on your own team who make mistakes on the field. They already know what they have done. Allow them to learn from their mistakes.
Applaud superior play by both teams.
Support coaches consistently regardless of the results on the court or field. Coaches contribute many hours of their time to your children. They deserve your congratulations when the team wins and your encouragement when it doesn’t.
Always remain in the spectator area, and away from areas where coaches, players or officials are.
A parent must:
· Never use foul language or obscene gestures at a game.
· Avoid persistent comments and gestures that express disagreement with referees’ decisions.
· Cooperate immediately with any request by the game officials.
Any parent who fails to adhere to these standards may be required to leave the playing area.

6. The Positive Sports Parent
CONSEQUENCES: If a parent is ejected from a contest by an official or coach, the parent will be required to have a face to face conference with the Athletic Director prior to returning to any PISD Athletic event. In addition, the parent must complete the NFHS course “Positive Sport Parenting” and turn in their certificate of completion before returning to any PISD athletic event. If multiple incidents occur or a single severe incident occurs, the parent(s) will no longer be allowed into PISD events, and possible criminal trespassing charges can be issued to the spectator for an appropriate time period determined by the administrators.

7. Pre-participation Physical and Rank One Paperwork
Athletes must have an annual preparticipation physical on file prior to participation in athletic activity
Mandatory Athletic Participation Forms: Parents, for the school year, the required athletic participation paperwork for the UIL and PISD will be completed using electronic forms handled via our Rank One software. All incoming athletes in 7th-12th grades are required to have these forms filled out prior to practice and UIL competition. Please follow the link and complete the online forms as soon as possible. You do not have to create a Rank One account to complete the forms but you will need your student’s ID number. There are instructions on how to complete the forms on the Rank One web page the link takes you to. The physical and medical history forms will be the only paper forms to print either from the Rank One site or HERE. The physical form will still need to be submitted to the campus your child will be attending prior to any activity. If you have any questions please our Head Athletic Trainer at PHS, Michael Henry, at
