Athletics

Athletic practices are closed to the general public and parents as well, unless prior arrangements have been made with the head coach and athletic director for a planned visit.

Unlike youth sports or pay to play sports, high school based sports participation is based upon academic eligibility, skill level, and attendance of all practices and games.  The high school level of athletic competition is extremely competitive.  That said, stronger players often receive starting positions and more playing time during contests.  We will always work to develop all of our players equally during practices to ensure opportunities for improvement so that additional playing time can be earned, but this is by no means a guarantee and is always a coaching decision.  These decisions are not just about the individual athlete or player, but also about what each player's role on the team is depending on team needs in any given season or on any given day of competition.

Emotions can run high when our children are involved.  For that reason, we must insist on a 24 hour cooling off period so cooler heads prevail when discussing topics of concern or agitation.  It is never appropriate to broach conversations voicing concern or disapproval with a coach on a contest day.

Concerns or complaints should always be resolved at the lowest levels first whenever possible following the steps outlines below.

Step 1. Speak directly with the Head Coach

Step 2. If no resolution is reached, email with the Athletic Director-click here.

Step 3. If no resolution is reached, email with the Assistant Principal in charge of the athletics program-click here.

*Following the chain of command will be strictly adhered to in addressing concerns as presented, and those in need of an audience will be directed to the appropriate person.
