  3. THE ROLE OF THE COACH • Support the educational values of the sport • Model sportsmanship • Provide skill instruction • Manage the program • Treat each player with respect • Treat opposing coaches, participants, fans and officials with respect • Develop and enforce team rules

  4. THE ROLE OF THE PLAYER • Exhibit good sportsmanship • Uphold all academic responsibilities • Work with teammates and coaches in a positive way • Respect the decisions of officials (game and minor) • Work towards individual and team goals • Respect team rules and decisions of coaches • Model a healthy lifestyle

  5. THE ROLE OF THE PARENT • Model sportsmanship • Support the goals of the team • Help your child understand his/her goals within the team structure • Respect the decisions of officials (game and minor) • Support the decisions of the coach • Encourage your child to do his/her best • Value the educational opportunities of high school athletics

  6. Ask yourself the following questions and then ask your child the same questions: • Why is my child playing this sport? • What are my goals for my child? • What would a successful season look like? • What is my child’s role on this team?

  7. Compare Your Answers with Your Child’s Answers Note the similarities and differences • If your answers are different, then expectations must be adjusted

  8. One of the most important things parents can do is to: “RELEASE THEM TO THE GAME” You play a key role in your child’s success!

  9. Releasing Your Child to the Game • Encourage your child to discuss perceived problems privately with the coach • Encourage your child to speak positively with an authority figure (coach or assistant coach)

  10. Releasing Your Child to the Game • Provide positive encouragement for your child and all teammates during the game • Focus more on the team and the team’s goals and less on your child’s performance • Understand that your child might need time and space after a game

  11. REMEMBER • The athlete may not always show it but he/she appreciates the coach’s time and effort and the parents’ support and encouragement • In our efforts to support our school’s young athletes, it is important that we communicate positively throughout the season

  12. COMMUNICATION The Coach/Advisor will provide: • Practice and game schedules • Tournament arrangements • Team rules and expectations • Breakdown of season expenses

  13. PARENT COMMUNICATION • Parents will need to provide information regarding scheduling conflicts, illness and health issues • Occasionally a parent may feel the need to approach a coach with a concern. Such discussions can happen positively (this may require the “24 hour rule”)

  14. THANK YOU… • For joining us tonight • For attending our games • For your support and encouragement
