Blogs

• It is our team policy to not post on website blogs or any other website(s).

• Anyone not adhering to this policy will face disciplinary action.

Player/Coach Conferences

• All coaches have an open-door policy for conferences with players. Players need to have

confidence that their concerns will be heard and addressed with respect and confidentiality in a timely manner.

THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST METHOD OF PROBLEM RESOLUTION

Parent’s Role• If you have concern to discuss with a coach:• Call or email the coach to discuss the situation.

Sometimes an appointment with the coach may be necessary, please schedule one through email or phone. – Please do not bring up concerns immediately after

practice or games.

PHONE: 561-373-4229 EMAIL:Travis.Klabon@Palmbeachschools.ORG

What can be discussed?• 1. Treatment of your child, disciplinary

consequences, etc.• 2. Ways to help your child improve his or her

skills• 3. Concerns about your child's behavioral,

personal, or academic growth

It is very difficult to accept your child not playing as much as you had hoped. Coaches make decisions on the basis of what they believe to be best for the team. While we truly don't believe in "winning at all costs," we make no apologies for coaching for success. As you can see from the list above, certain things can and should be discussed with a coach

What should not be discussed?• 1. Amount of playing time, positioning, etc.• 2. Team strategies, game tactics, play calling,

comparison to other teams, etc.• 3. Any discussion about other student-

athletes.*We encourage coaches to ignore any concern

or criticism delivered anonymously.
