Parent Guidelines

2023-2024 PAROCHIAL LEAGUE ATHLETIC POLICY

It is very important that parents function as role models for their children. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend games in which their children are participating as an expression of parental concern for their child. Parents’ involvement in a child’s athletic development can be strengthened if the parent can observe the child’s strength and weaknesses and guide the child accordingly. Parent behavior at games should exemplify the behavior expected of the child. Belligerent or demanding comments or actions toward coaches, opposing players, and game officials can easily be transferred to the child resulting in a loss of respect for leadership and authority. As in the case with students, the reflection upon the school and parochial league caused by parent behavior should be positive.

Parents should never confront a coach or an assistant coach before, during, or after a game/practice about an issue with them or the player. If a parent has a problem with a coach/assistant please wait 24 hours to talk to them by phone call, email, or text when the student is not present. If it cannot be resolved, parents should contact the Athletic Director.
