3/27

How can you as a parentbe part of our program?


4/27

Pride Night. We will have our pride nighton the night before the game. You are

invited to attend. We will need the helpof parents and boosters in preparing,and serving the meals. At the meals, we

will announce our scout team player ofthe week. This player will be the 1st inline to eat. We will also have 2-3 otherplayers talk about what our team meansto them, and whatever they have on theirmind. We will make this an exciting nightfor the boys and our program.


5/27

Tailgate. Especially on away game

nights, to have a sandwich, anddrinks for players after the game.

Have an open film night during theweek to show film to parents, so allcan see and enjoy. This will be a funnight, not a night to teach or talkabout players.


6/27

What can you do to helpthe program, and your

son to achieve success?


7/27

Support coaching staff even if you dont agree

with them. The importance of support is so the

kids stay positive, and be team players. Anegative parent makes a negative player, andhurts player attitude more than helps. A negativeattitude can also cause conflict and teaching

ability between player-coach. You may not agreewith everything we do, but it is important thatyour child not hear you talk negative. Also, manytimes a child will tell their parents something,

because they think that is what their parentwants to hear.


8/27

Dont coach your son. That is the job of the

coaching staff. When a parent teaches their child

one thing and the coaching staff another, theplayer gets confused. The player has to be ableto play within the team scheme.

Remember, your child is still a kid. Let them bekids 1st, and enjoy the sport as a high schoolactivity. Sports are part of their education. Manylessons are learned, and used the rest of their

lives.


9/27

Dont talk about other players in a negative way.

This hurts TEAM moral more than you think. It

teaches a kid to judge, not support theirteammates. Remember: The team is bigger thanthe individual player.

Success is based on improvement, and work putforth. Not on win/loss record, or individual stats.

Be courteous to the officials, and opposing

players.


10/27

What can you as a parentexpect from us as

coaches?


11/27

To treat all athletes with respect, as long as theyshow us they deserve it.

Proper Things to Talk About
