C. Expectations for NPHS Activities Coaches/Sponsors

STAFF ASSIGNMENTS

Your Activities Director has assigned you the coaching/sponsorship duties that you have for the year, and you are directly responsible to him. Your cooperation with your principal and his/her sta is expected and will be appreciated. You are considered to be a teacher first, and a coach/sponsor second.

The Activities Director is the person you are expected to work with and it is imperative that you stick closely to his requests. Procedures concerning such items as care for equipment, transportation, scheduling, and other items should be familiar to you. Cheerful cooperation among the coaching sta is a “ must” in maintaining a good sta relationship. All extracurricular activities are duties as assigned by the Activities Director.

Our high school is a member of the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA). The policies and procedures as set by the Nebraska School Activities Association will be followed to the letter, and you are expected to familiarize yourself with the particulars of your sport.
