Parents/Guardians, please let the players play & the coaches coach. Enjoy your time as a supportive fan. Be Loud. Be Proud. Be Positive. Give your player ownership of their high school softball experience.
Absences from practice must be cleared with your coach prior to practice. (Remind messages, in person, or Email) “COMMUNICATION IS KEY!”
Unexcused absences from practice will result in loss of playing time. 3 unexcused absences from practice could result in dismissal from the team. Practice is just as important as game day!! (maybe even more important)
In school or out of school suspensions will also lead to at least a 1 game suspension. A second suspension may lead to dismissal from the team. Players who have ISS or OSS are not permitted to attend practices and games.
Academics come first. If a student is failing 2 or more classes at any time she will not be eligible to play in games until her grades improve. We expect our players to be respectful, attend class on time, and display a strong work ethic in the classroom. If you are having trouble in a class, personally notify a coach and attend tutoring sessions during resource period. ACADEMICS COME FIRST!!
Be on time. Players should be warming up when practice is scheduled to begin. Unexcused lates to practices or games will result in loss of playing time. Please Pick up on time, 2 or more late pick-ups could result in dismissal from the team.
PLAY GRITTY. PLAY SMART. PLAY TOGETHER. Place team goals ahead of jealousy and ego. Truly want the best for your teammates! OUR TEAM’s SUCCESS IS OUR #1 priority- NOT INDIVIDUAL STATS. No one is above the team! We play to a standard higher than the scoreboard!All Playing Time is EARNED in practice. Make the most of your opportunities.
If you do not participate in PE, you will not be able to participate in that day’s practice or game. Represent the program well in PE.
Players will travel to and from all away games on the team bus. In the event of a need to be driven home, a travel release form must be completed. I always have them with me at the fields. If you know ahead of time please let me know.
Players are expected to display good character, abide by the school handbook, and conduct themselves with class and good sportsmanship at all times. Athletes who do not conduct themselves in an appropriate manner, will not represent our team.
All LHS Athletics and School Policies will be followed.
