Chain of Command

  31. The school district does not provide medical insurance benefits for students who choose to participate in activities programs. • Medical insurance is highly suggested in order for the students to participate. Insurance

  32. I understand the Belgrade High School Coaching Staff will take all reasonable precautions to insure that the risk of injury to their athletes is minimized. However, even though these precautions are taken, there is still a chance of injury and death. I have been informed of these risks, understand them and feel that the benefits of participation outweigh the risks involved.

  38. Probably the hardest thing a coach has to do is to finalize his/her team. They understand that many times the players involved have dedicated endless hours, even years, to their development. Then it becomes the opinion of the coaching staff as to who they will keep on their team. Finalizing Teams

  39. Coaches weigh many factors in their decision and it is not always based on skill alone. • Attitude • Dedication • Hustle • Team chemistry • All are contributing factors Finalizing Teams
