Parent Guidelines

Extra-Curricular Guidelines for Parents

  1. Be a fan of everyone on the team, including opposing players, coaches, game officials, and game administrators.

  1. Respect the decision of game officials.  Arguing with the officials will result in removal from the current game and possibly future games.

  1. Keep negative thoughts about the coach, the program, or your child’s teammates to yourself.  Be positive and supportive.

  1. Do not talk to coaches on game day about a complaint. If there’s a grievance, you may address it with the coach 24 hours after the game. If not settled at that level, contact the activities director.

  1. Understand that the coach’s responsibility is to teach skill development to student athletes, to have them become better people and athletes, and to understand the team concept.

  1. Be supportive and positive with your child.

  1. Parents are required to attend a preseason meeting to review team rules and expectations.  Your child will not be able to participate in games until you have met with the coach.

  1. Review all the rules and expectations for your child, yourself, and coaches.  Your student athlete cannot participate in games until all forms have been signed.

  1. If a parent is asked and is required to leave a sporting event, they will be prohibited from attending a minimum of one game. If serious enough, it could result in suspension of more games up to a permanent expulsion from attending.

  1. Students may be released to no one other than their parents or legal guardian unless prior arrangements have been made with the activities director.

  1. Parents are not allowed to be talking to or “coaching” their player(s) or the other players on the bench during the game. Coaches need to be allowed to coach the players and failure to follow this will result in being prohibited from attending a minimum of one game.
