  6. Expectations for General Conduct Off Field • List to be emailed to NPHS Staff • HALLS - Think before you act and look at who is around you. Guilty and guilty by association are the same thing. • IN CLASS – Respectful, Alert, Participatory • Eligibility and Grades • SCHOOL – Present AND On Time Everyday • OUT of SCHOOL – Nothing different than everything above. There is no separation.

  7. General Conduct off the Field • Twitter, Facebook, etc. Twitter – Top Athlete Mistakes GETTING ON TWITTER BEFORE GETTING EDUCATED FORGETTING THEIR AUDIENCE USE PROFANITY OR DISCUSS R RATED SUBJECTS GETTING BAITED VENTING FRUSTRATION OR ANGER NOT BEING DISCREET WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER PEOPLE BELIEVING THAT DIRECT MESSAGES WILL REMAIN PRIVATE All of this stuff is nothing but a distraction from your purpose.

  8. General Conduct off the ield • Facebook - It is very simple. If it is a picture you would not hang on your Grandmom’s refrigerator, do not put it on facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.

  9. Practice Times, Attire, Etc. • Weekday practices after school begin at 3:00 • Weekend practice times will vary • Always be on field ready to go 15 min before official practice time • All Equipment must be accounted for • North Penn Attire Only (no other teams) • During NP Season… NP Baseball Only

  10. Parents’ Role • Communication Process if needed • Step 1 – Player to Coach • Step 2 – Coach back to player • Step 3 – Player to parent • Step 4 - Parent to Coach on some matters only • Questions we will not answer: • Why isn’t my son playing? • Why is player X playing? • Why is your lineup that way? Questions we will be happy to answer: • What skills does my son need to work on, and how can he focus on them? • What can we do about getting the college process started? • How can we get involved in fundraising or supporting the team off the field?

  11. The Make-Up of a “Team” • Playing as a team from March – June is really not enough. • Therefore: • Fall Program • Offseason Strength and Conditioning Program • Non-Baseball Team Events • Close Relationship with American Legion programs • Consistent Communication

  13. The Multi-Sport Athlete • Do we like it? Yes. • Is it for everyone? No. • Questions to Consider? • Do I make adjustments easily from sport to sport? • Am I able to make significant progress from year to year in each sport? • Can my body handle the demand? • Am I able to keep my grades in check?

  15. Why Workout at 5:30am? • 1. No competition for space • 2. Parallel to a collegiate schedule • 3. Discipline and Team Enhancement • 4. No schedule conflicts (work, clubs, etc.) • 5. Allows for after school individual, sport specific work • 6. Allows for individual supplementary workout time

  16. AM Workout Challenges • 1. Logistics for freshmen • 2. Parental support • 3. Self-Discipline • 4. New Schedule (requires adjusting) • 5. Full body readiness (Quality vs Quantity argument)

  17.
