� communication Protocol
Our Interscholastic Athletics Communication Protocol outlines how athletes, coaches, and parents can maintain effective and respectful communication to support success on and off the field.
Purpose: Promote positive sporting behavior, build character and teamwork, cultivate self-advocacy, and ensure safe, supportive environments for student-athletes.
Communication Steps:
- Student-Athlete talks directly with their coach in person at a mutually agreed time.
- If needed, the parent/guardian joins the athlete in a meeting with the coach.
- If concerns persist, the Athletic Director joins for a final discussion.
For Parents/Guardians: You may discuss matters specific to your student such as health, safety, recruitment, or performance improvement. Topics like playing time, team strategy, or other athletes are not appropriate. Please observe a 24-hour grace period after games or practices before reaching out.
