We feel the parents play a vital role in the development of student athletes, therefore, we as coaches believe in the following:

• Be a positive role model through your own actions to make sure your child has the best athletic experience possible.
• Be a "team" fan, not a "my kid" fan.
• Weigh what your children say; they will tend to slant the truth to their advantage.
• Show respect for the opposing players, coaches, spectators and support groups.
• Be respectful of all official's decisions.
• Don't instruct your children before or after a game, because it may conflict with the coach's plans and strategies.
• Praise student-athlete in their attempt to improve themselves as students, as athletes and as people.
• Gain an understanding and appreciation for the rules of the contest.
• Recognize and show appreciation for an outstanding play by either team.
• Help your child learn that success is oriented in the developement of a skill, and should make a person feel good about themselves, win or lose.
• If you as a parent have a concern, take time to talk with coaches in an appropriate manner including proper time and place. Be sure to follow the designated chain of command.
• Please reinforce our drug and alcohol free policies by refraining from the use of any controlled substances before and during athletic contests.
• Remember that a ticket to a school athletic event is a privilege to observe the contest.
