PARENT COMMUNICATION

• Parent Communication – we want you to be involved in our program. Communication is key to a successful relationship.

• Coaches are educators who make decisions based on what they believe to be the best for all student-athletes and the goals of Lone Star High School athletics. Certain concerns are appropriate to discuss with your child’s coach. Other areas, such as those listed below, must be left to the discretion of the coach.

• Playing time • Team Strategy • Play Calling • Other student-athletes

• COMMUNICATION COACHES EXPECT DIRECTLY FROM PARENTS • Notification of any schedule conflicts in advance. – please do not schedule appts. During

practice or game time (WE ONLY GET 10 GAMES GURANTEED A YEAR!!)• Notification of any illness or injury in a timely manner.

• APPROPRIATE CONCERNS TO DISCUSS WITH COACHES • 1. The coach’s interaction with your child. • 2. Ways to help your child improve athletic skills. • 3. Concerns

PARENT COMMUNICATION• IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN TO DISCUSS WITH A COACH-PLEASE FOLLOW THE

PROCEDURE BELOW • 1. Make sure your son openly communicates with his position coach,

coordinator, and head coach. We cannot help if we do not know there is a problem. This should occur before a coach receives an email or phone call from parent. We are trying to teach these young men responsibility.

• 2. Request a time to meet with the coach and your son/daughter. • 4. Please do not confront a coach before or after a practice or game. These can

be emotional times for the parent, athlete, and the coach. These meetings rarely yield positive results.

• 5. Avoid long emails that make accusations without knowing all the facts. At Lone Star High School we prefer personal communication.

COACHES EXPECTATIONS• 100% EFFORT IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDENT ATHLETE• Create a positive, enthusiastic, family atmosphere that

builds confidence and character. • Make sure Football is FUN! • Hold your son accountable for his actions. • Open line of communication with players and parents • Help in placement/recruiting (after the season) for your sons

plans after high school. (Webinar on website) • 24/7 – 365 – Do what is right for kids!

PRACTICE• In order for us to maintain a great program we must have our kids

present and committed to practice. Missing practices will directly affect playing time.

• Starting Saturday August 16th the Varsity team will be required to be at LSHS for video/practice; this will go on through out the football season every Saturday from 10:00AM to 11:45AM. This is the same as a practice.

• If players are injured they are expected to be at all team meetings, practices, video sessions; dressed out, obtaining mental reps. Trainers and doctors will oversee rehab and make decisions regarding injuries.
