Parent Standards• Please help guide your child in proper nutrition & hydration as his safety is impacted by

how he manages these things!

• Please use the following guidelines to assist in promoting a positive image of the program & the school:

❖ The Player Plays. The Coach Coaches. The Parent Supports!!

❖ If you have a problem or issue.. You, your athlete, and I will meet. Your athlete MUST BE PRESENT! Please allow 24 hours from any game before scheduling or attempting to schedule a meeting!

❖ Disagreements will occur. Sometimes after meeting and addressing concerns disagreements will remain. We pledge to make decisions with the best interest of the TEAM and SCHOOL in mind, not individual players.

❖We should all have the goal of providing the best experience possible for our players. Destructive remarks and sowing bitterness does not aid in the process. Please go about your business in a way that promotes a positive image of the team!

Parent Standards❖During games & practices the sideline area is for players & coaches only!

❖Please do not try and have a conversation with a player during the game, although remarks of encouragement are welcome.

❖Please do not enter the playing field. If your athlete is injured, allow the coaches or medical staff to address the injury. If needed, we will call you on to the playing field.

❖The coaches will not discuss lineups or roles with parents UNLESS it is concerning your athlete

❖The coaches are not interested in listening to gossip or negative remarks concerning other people, players, etc.
