WAUSAU EAST HIGH SCHOOL
COACHES EXPECTATIONS
ACTIVITY: BOYS HOCKEY
School Year: 2015-2016
The Athletic Code states that each coach will establish in writing their expectations
which are to include student athlete behavior. This supplement is developed to identify
unacceptable student conduct which is contrary to the ideals, principles, and standards
of the school and District. Although a major portion of this supplement deals with
expectations as a member of this team, your behavior as a member of our community
and within our school society will be recognized. If your behavior is unacceptable, you
will be subject to the appropriate discipline explained herein.
Coach’s expectations are effective from the official starting date of this season through
the last day of your official competition in this sport, and will accumulate on a per
season basis only, not over your high school career. Each season requires a coach’s
expectation to be signed by both student athlete and parents/guardians.
