  27. Best Communication Practices • If you have a concern to discuss with a coach/staff advisor, the following procedure should be followed: • Call the coach/staff advisor to set up an appointment • Please do not attempt to confront a coach/staff advisor before, during, or after a contest or practice. These can be highly emotional times for both the parent and the coach/staff advisor. Meetings of this nature usually do not promote positive resolution

  28. Parent Communication to Coaches • Communication that Coaches/Staff Advisors Expect from Parents: • Concerns should be expressed directly to the coach/staff advisor • Notification of any schedule conflicts should be shared well in advance • An appointment should be scheduled to discuss any specific concern in regard to a coach’s/staff advisor’s philosophy and/or expectations if there is ever a question

  35. Academic Eligibility • A student must earn a minimum of 3 credits. Note: Each student must pass a minimum of 3.0 credits or 6 classes during the previous semester of participation in order to be eligible. • A student must be enrolled in a minimum of 3 credits during his/her semester of participation. • During the sports season, the student may not participate as a member of a non-school team in the same sport (check with your LSN coach or AD for any MSHSAA sports’ exceptions and other eligibility scenarios).

  36. Privilege or Right? • Eligibility is a PRIVILEGE to be granted by the school to a student. • Eligibility is NOT A STUDENT’S RIGHT BY LAW. • Precedent-setting legal cases have determined that eligibility is a privilege to be granted only if the student meets all standards adopted by the schools. • Be sure and protect your privilege to participate as a Bronco.
