Parents

Pinnacle Athletics tries hard to promote a positive atmosphere within every athletic competition.  This is the vision for all of our athletic programs since the opening of the school.  All athletic programs have been and will continue to build on this foundation in order to create the best possible experience we can.  Please help us promote good sportsmanship, positive relationships and open communication while your son or daughter participates in Pinnacle Athletics.  Thank you.

•    Be supportive of your son or daughter in wins and losses, successes and failures.

•    Be a fan to everyone on the team.

•    Respect the decisions of the officials.

•    Encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy for all players, all fans, all coaches and officials.  Arguments or confrontations should never take place.

•    Never taunt, boo or use profane language or gestures at a game.

•    Refrain from coaching your son, daughter or other players during a game.

•    Communicate with your son or daughter about their sport and school specifically and life in general.

•    Communicate with your son or daughter’s coach if a concern arises.  Players are to discuss issues with the coach first.  Then the parent.  Call the coach. Talk about your concerns. Make an appointment if necessary.  We are happy, willing and available to discuss any issue with you.  Before or after a game is not a proper time for this to take place unless an emergency arises or a coach agrees.  If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your meeting, the head coach or Athletic Director is next in line of the chain of command depending on which level your son or daughter plays on.  Please be aware phone messages or emails sent directly to the Athletic Director or Pinnacle School Administrators first, will not be acted upon until all previous steps are followed. 

•    Please let coaches and players focus on the game on game days.  Before, during or directly after games are important times for us to take care of the business on the field without interruption.

•    Understand the coaches commit a great deal of time and effort to their sport.  Unfortunately, mistakes will be made.  Negativity breeds contempt.  Help us to promote the best possible circumstances for your son or daughter while he or she participates in Pinnacle High School Athletic Programs.

Thank you for reading and taking an active role in helping to promote a positive experience in Pinnacle Athletics.
