and mentally. We will demand that they give the team their very best all of the
time and we will do this all in the most positive way possible. Our intent is to have
your student athlete leave practices a better player and a better person.
Communication
GOSSIP IS A CANCER – IF YOU HEAR SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE, IT
STARTS WITH “I HEARD THIS FROM,” AND IT IS NEGATIVE OR UNFAIR
CALL THE LEAGUE ADMINISTRATOR TO FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF THE
TRUTH.
Our website www.tatcsports.org will be the place to go for the most recent and
accurate information. We understand the importance of keeping this site up to
date and will be diligent in keeping it accurate so that you can trust the
information that you find on it. Having said that, things change! If you checked
practice schedule or any type of posting please go back and look at applicable
dates and times within a week of the activity. We will communicate a change in
schedule by email also but every now and then, a small handful of you do not
receive the emails for various reasons. Check the web site often. Whenever in
doubt, call or text your coach.
Coach Communication
Coaches will be emailing you once a week with a quick run down of the week’s
activities. We understand the importance of good communication and you will get
it. Coaches will also be giving a written monthly evaluation of things your Student
Athlete is doing well and areas that they need to improve on for the betterment of
her team and their individual performance. This evaluation will address the
playing time and what the student athlete can do to maximize it. It will also
address overall attitude and leadership characteristics. Attitude matters!
Athlete/Parent Communication with Coach
The athlete, not the parent will be expected to handle the first communication on
any matter with the team. This does NOT mean we do not want parents
communicating with coaches – we do! We simply believe that having your
student athlete communicate first allows them the opportunity to grow. They can
talk to their coach about anything as long as they address them with respect.
After this initial Student Athlete/Coach communication, the Parent may request a
meeting with the coach to clarify any matter at all.
Code of Conduct/Ethics
TATC Sports will be a model organization for sportsmanship. Each Player,
Parent, and Coach will be REQUIRED to read and sign a code of Conduct/Ethics
form at the time of signing an agreement to Coach or participate with TATC
Sports.
