Team Policies
I. Reminder Policy
As a representative of this team, there are certain guidelines that must be followed on and off the field.
On the Field:
· Follow Coaches' instructions
· Restrain from using foul language
· Do not belittle or argue with teammates
· Be on time and prepared for practice
· When you're not doing a particular drill/exercise, you watch. Don't fool around, pay attention.
Off the Field
· Keep up with all classes/grades, fulfill your educational requirements to the best of your ability
· Do not give teachers or other faculty members any problems whatsoever
· Never be tardy for class (i.e. go to tardy room)
· Do not do anything that will get you I.S.S. or O.S.S.*
· Do not fall asleep in class
Any infringements result in Reminders. Reminders are physical tasks that you must complete. If you have not completed your reminders before that
week's game, you will not dress for the game.
*Anyone receiving O.S.S. for any reason, will be dismissed from the team.
II. Practice Schedule
Practice will be everyday after school (minus game days) and Saturdays. You are required to be out on the field, prepared to practice by 3:10 and no
later. Practices will be over at 5:30. Saturdays will be from 9am-11am
· If you miss a practice the week of a game you will not dress.
· If you are going to be late to practice, you must tell one of the coaches before practice begins, and also bring a pass with you upon
coming to practice.
· If you MISS 3 unexcused practices, you will be dismissed from the team.
III. JV and Varsity
We will dress 31 players for Varsity.
IV. Fundraising Participation
*See Auction
Blogs
• It is our team policy to not post on website
blogs or any other website(s).
• Anyone not adhering to this policy will face
disciplinary action.
Player/Coach Conferences
• All coaches have an open-door policy for
conferences with players. Players need to have
confidence that their concerns will be heard
and addressed with respect and
confidentiality in a timely manner.
THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST METHOD OF
PROBLEM RESOLUTION
Parent’s Role
• If you have concern to discuss with a coach:
• Call or email the coach to discuss the situation.
Sometimes an appointment with the coach may be
necessary, please schedule one through email or
phone.
– Please do not bring up concerns immediately after
practice or games.
PHONE: 561-373-4229
EMAIL:
Travis.Klabon@Palmbeachschools.ORG
What can be discussed?
• 1. Treatment of your child, disciplinary
consequences, etc.
• 2. Ways to help your child improve his or her
skills
• 3. Concerns about your child's behavioral,
personal, or academic growth
It is very difficult to accept your child not playing as much as
you had hoped. Coaches make decisions on the basis of
what they believe to be best for the team. While we truly
don't believe in "winning at all costs," we make no
apologies for coaching for success. As you can see from
the list above, certain things can and should be discussed
with a coach
What should not be discussed?
• 1. Amount of playing time, positioning, etc.
• 2. Team strategies, game tactics, play calling,
comparison to other teams, etc.
• 3. Any discussion about other studentathletes.
*We encourage coaches to ignore any concern
or criticism delivered anonymously.
