Mrs. Jones Message
Dear Parents and Players,
As we begin the season, we want to clearly outline our expectations so that everyone—players, parents, and coaches—can help create a positive and supportive environment for our team. Our goal is to provide a great experience for the athletes while promoting teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal growth.
Positive Behavior at Games
We expect all players and parents to demonstrate positive and respectful behavior during games and team events. This includes showing respect toward our players, opposing players, coaches, and referees. Please remember that officials and coaches are doing their best, and maintaining a positive environment helps our athletes enjoy the game and perform their best.
24-Hour Rule for Concerns
If a parent or player has a concern regarding playing time, position, or other coaching decisions, we ask that you follow a 24-hour cool-off period before contacting a coach. This allows emotions from games to settle and helps ensure that any discussion is constructive and respectful.
Communication About Absences
Players are responsible for communicating any absences from practices or games in writing directly to the coaches. Learning to communicate and take responsibility is an important part of being on a team.
Attendance Expectations
Players are expected to attend all practices and games unless they are sick or have received permission from a coach in advance to miss. Consistent attendance helps the team develop and shows commitment to teammates.
Sideline and Field Boundaries
For safety and team organization, parents are not allowed on the playing field during practices, warm ups or games. If a parent enters the field or disregards this policy, they may be asked to leave the area. Continued violations could result in the parent being barred from attending future contests.
We appreciate your cooperation and support in helping us create a positive, respectful, and team-focused environment for all of our athletes. If we all work together, we can make this a rewarding and successful season for everyone involved.
Thank you for your support.
Let’s Go Spartans!
Susan Jones
Athletic Director
