Parent Expectations Be honest…
About your child With the coaches
Communicate problems with the coaching staff Start with the head coach of your son’s team We WILL NOT discuss how your child compares to another player or
playing time Discuss all injuries with your son’s head coach
Ensure that your son has a physical prior to the start of school Do your best to supervise your son. Alcohol and drug abuse is
running rampant right now, and we can’t afford to lose kids to this (both figuratively and literally).
Teach your son the importance of being at football practice, lifting, and summer sessions. Do your best to schedule work, vacations, etc. around the football calendar.
Report illegal or unethical behavior by any coach to the head coach. If you feel the head coach has done anything which falls under these categories, report it to the athletic director.
Understand the difference between being sore and being injured.
