Parent/Athletic Dept. Relationship

 There are situations that may require a conference between the coach and the parent. It is important that both parties involved have a clear understanding of the other’s position. When these conferences are necessary an appropriate procedure should take place. Please do not attempt to confront a coach before or after a contest or practice. These can be emotional times for both the parent and the coach. Meetings of this nature do not promote resolution.

Complaint procedure  Student-athlete and coach should discuss the concern  Parent should call to set up an appointment with coach  Parent, student-athlete and coach meet  Parent, student-athlete, coach and Athletic Director meet  Parent, student-athlete, coach, Athletic Director and Dean of Students meet

Informational Meetings

There will be a team parent meeting with the coaching staff and the Athletic Director at the beginning of each season. Each coach will inform their team of the date and time of the meeting.

Code of Conduct

1. Student-athletes that represent The Academy of the Holy Angels on an athletic team are expected to conduct themselves in such a manner as to reflect credit on school.

2. All participants in the athletic program must understand that they are students’ first and athletes second. Participation in athletics is a privilege to a student, not a right guaranteed to them. Students have rights regarding athletics. They have the right to participate at a level commensurate with their maturity and ability. They have a right to qualified and adult leadership. They have a right to share in the leadership and decision-making of their sports participation. They have a right to participate in a safe and healthy environment. They have a right to proper preparation for participation in sports. They have a right to an equal opportunity to strive for success. They have a right to be treated with dignity and a right to have fun in sports. Participation, however, still remains a privilege. 3. Being a member of an athletic team does not entitle any student to any special privilege in school. Rather, it may be a burden in the face of peer pressure when asked to be involved in some action that might violate school rules. The athletes at The Academy of the Holy Angels are expected to be examples of good citizenship and cooperation, involved in actions that will reflect positively upon themselves as individuals and upon all our athletes in general.
