Building Responsibilities

Custodial Staff ­

The need for cooperation between the custodial and coaching/advising staffs is obvious. Coaches/Advisors should follow established procedures in facility use and maintenance schedules. Give custodians ample time when requesting work from them. Inform them of any special needs, such as Saturday practices, use of building during vacation times, after hours departure or return ahead of time. This can be done through the Activities Director or the appropriate building supervisor.

1. Security

   1. Each coach is responsible for the action of members of their squad from the time they report to the locker room for practice until they leave the building after practice.

   2. It is the coach’s responsibility to be present at the time that the athletes are to report for practice, games, meets, home or away and stay until the last athlete has left. This is intended to mean they have left the building.

   3. The coach shall see that lights and showers are turned off, the doors are locked, equipment is locked up and the room is left as neat as possible. This includes all parts of the building that are made accessible to the participants.

   4. Since many coaches will be using the locker room office area (coaches’ office), each coach must make an effort to keep this area as neat and clean as reasonably possible.

2. Control of Keys

   1. All keys to the building, locker rooms, equipment rooms, etc. will be issued to coaches/advisors by the Activities Director & Building . All coaches/advisors will return their keys to the activities director at the time of the coach’s/advisor evaluation, unless permission has been granted for summer use of athletic areas.

   2. Coaches/advisors are not to give student-athletes their keys at any time. Managers may use coaches/advisors keys during practice sessions, but managers are not to have their own keys.

   3. If keys to the athletic area are lost, the coach/advisor should report this to the Activities Director immediately.
