Our athletic programs in our schools will be a positive influence in preparing our youth for enriching lives. Both parents and coaches are instrumental in providing the most positive experience possible for our athletes. By establishing the role of each position, we are able to provide better benefits for our children. Parents have the right to know what expectations are placed on the student-athlete. And our coaches expected to provide clear communication about expectations and how to support our student-athletesis essential between the coach and the parent.
