2012 - 2013

FORWARD
In preparation for the privilege of serving the athletes of Lockhart Independent School
District, this handbook was developed to familiarize coaches, athletes, and administrators with the policies and procedures of the District’s Athletic program. We will operate within the guidelines of the Texas Education Agency and the Lockhart Board of Trustees. We will follow all rules of the University Interscholastic League. It will remain our strongest desire to conduct an athletic program that provides a quality educational experience for all students involved and promotes Lockhart ISD with Pride.
This handbook sets forth, in definite terms, the guidelines which have evolved over a period of years and which are now in force. It is an effective orientation for new as well as experienced staff members.
We all want an athletic program that will be a compliment to Lockhart Independent School
District and I ask that everyone work together as a team to make this a reality.
The success of this handbook will depend on the consistent application of its content by all staff members.

Lockhart ISD Athletic Director
"In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more than that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose?"

5) All students enrolled in the athletic period will be issued athletic workout attire. All athletes must wear the provided uniform everyday along with proper athletic shoes. If an athlete does not have the issued clothing or athletic shoes they will have 5 points deducted from their grade. An athletic shoe is defined as footwear designed for sports or other physical activity. The athlete may workout in the clothing they are wearing or any other clothing they might have with them that is in compliance with the school dress code. If an athlete DOES NOT dress out three times

in a 9 week period they will be given a “strike”. * This rule also applies to students who are sick or injured. The student must still dress out in the issued uniform or they will be subject to a strike on the third incident. Once dressed out they will sit in a designated area and watch the athletic period or rehab their injury.

FOR FUTHER INFORAMTION, REFER TO THE UIL CONSTITUTION AND CONTEST RULES

A.
Parent/Coach Relationships
Both parenting and coaching are very difficult vocations. By establishing an understanding between coaches and parents, both are better able to accept the actions of the other and provide a more positive experience for everyone.
Parents have the right to know, and understand, the expectations placed on them and their children. Coaches have the right to know that if parents have a concern, they will discuss it with the coach at the appropriate time and place.
Communication parents should expect from their child’s coach:
1) Coach’s philosophy.
2) Expectations the coach has for your son or daughter, as well as other players on the team.
3) Locations and times of practices and contests.
4) Team requirements, i.e., fees, special equipment needed, school & team rules, off-season expectations.
5) Procedures that will be followed if your child becomes injured during participation.
Communication coaches expect from parents:
1) Concerns regarding their son or daughter expressed directly to the coach at the appropriate time and place.
2) Specific concerns in regard to the coach’s philosophy and/or expectations.
3) Notification of any schedule conflicts well in advance.
As your child becomes involved in interscholastic athletics, they will experience some of the most rewarding moments of their lives. It’s important to understand there may be times when things do not go the way you or your child wishes. These are the times discussion with the coach is encouraged.
Appropriate concerns to discuss with a coach:
1) The mental and physical treatment of your child.
2) What your child needs to do to improve.
3) Concerns about your child’s behavior.
It is very difficult to accept your child is not playing as much as you may hope. Coaches make decisions based on what they believe is in the best interests of all students participating. As you can see from the list above, certain things can and should be discussed with your child’s coach. Other things, such as those listed next, must be left to the discretion of the coach.
Issues NOT appropriate for discussion with your child’s coach:
1) How much playing time each athlete is getting.
2) Team strategy (Player position).
3) Play calling.
4) Any situation that deals with other student-athletes.
There are situations that may require a conference between the coach and parent. These are encouraged, as it is important for each party to have a clear understanding of the others’ position. When these conferences are necessary

the following procedure is suggested to help promote resolution to the issue.
If a parent has a concern to discuss with the coach, the following procedure should be followed:
1) Call or email the coach to set up an appointment.
2) If the coach cannot be reached, call the athletic director and ask him or her to set up a meeting with the coach for you.
3) Think about what you expect to accomplish as a result of the meeting.
4) Stick to discussing the facts, as you understand them.
5) Do not confront the coach before, during or after a practice or contest. These can be emotional times for both the parent and coach. Meetings of this nature do not promote resolution of the situation, but often escalate it.
What should a parent do if the meeting with the coach didn’t provide satisfactory resolution?
1) Call the athletic director to set up a meeting with the athletic director, coach, and parent present.
2) At this meeting, an appropriate next step can be determined, if necessary.
B.
Behavior Expectations for Spectators
Remember that you are at the contest to support and yell for your team, and to enjoy the skill and competition not to intimidate or ridicule the other team or its fans.
Remember that school athletics are a learning experience for students and that mistakes are sometimes made.
Praise student-athletes in their attempt to improve themselves as students, as athletes, and as people, just as you would praise a student working in the classroom.
A ticket is a privilege to observe the contest, not a license to verbally assault others or be generally obnoxious.
Learn the rules of the game, so that you may understand and appreciate why certain situations take place.
Show respect for the opposing players, coaches, spectators and support groups.
Respect the integrity and judgment of game officials. Understand that they are doing their best to help promote the student-athlete, and admire their willingness to participate in full view of the public.
Recognize and show appreciation for an outstanding play by either team.
Refrain from the use of any controlled substances (alcohol, drugs, etc.) before, during, and after the game on or near the site of the event (i.e. tailgating).
Use only cheers that support and uplift the teams involved.
Be a positive role model at events through your own actions and by censuring those around you whose behavior is unbecoming.
Parents and spectators should be aware that the school can (and should) remove them from the premises and can prohibit them from attending future contests due to undesirable behaviors.

Game officials can ask that school administrators have unruly fans removed from a contest facility.
There is no such thing as a “right” to attend interscholastic athletics. Interscholastic athletics are considered a
“privilege” and the spectator who avails themselves of it is expected to conduct himself or herself accordingly.
C.
Ten Commandments for Parents of Athletes
1.
Be positive.
Let the athlete know that they are accomplishing something by simply being part of the team.
Don’t put them, their teammates, or their coaches down.
2.
Don’t offer excuses.
Encourage them to work hard and be their best. Tell them to give it their all and they will get their opportunity. Players get their chance every day in practice through individual and group drills.
3.
Don’t put down or criticize the coaches or teammates.
4.
Encourage them to follow team rules.
5.
Insist on good grades.
6.
Stay away from envy. Do not show animosity or jealousy to any teammates because they carry the ball more, make more tackles, catch more passes, or get more press.
7.
Let the coaches coach. The coaches have dedicated their lives to this profession. They work with these kids
12 months out of the year and they know their abilities and limitations. Decisions are based on many factors and are made only after careful evaluation.
8.
Insist on good sportsmanship.
9.
Encourage your child to believe in themselves. Let them know that you are proud of them for their effort and commitment to something bigger than themself.
Encourage them to play for their teammates and for the love of the game.

We acknowledge that we have reviewed the Lockhart Junior High Athletic Handbook for the 2012-2013 school year and understand that the student will be representing
Lockhart Athletics and will be held accountable for their behavior and subject to disciplinary consequences outlined in the handbook. The Lockhart Junior High Athletic
Handbook can be found electronically on the Lockhart Junior High webpage under athletics.
We also understand the following forms must be turned in and require a parent signature before a student can participate in a practice, game or scrimmage before, during or after school: Code of Conduct, medical history, medical consent, oral medication, physical (if applicable), concussion acknowledgement.
Lastly, I understand the safety training requirements and information can be found electronically on the LISD athletic webpage.
