After the Match
HOME GAMES
EVERYONE NEEDS TO STAY AND HELP PUT EVERYTHING AWAY! It only takes 10 minutes if everyone helps. If everyone leaves it takes the coaches at least an hour. Please don’t do that to the coaches.
AWAY GAMES
Before you leave the student needs to tell the coach they are leaving, and the parent/guardian needs to acknowledge they are taking them. If any student is left unchecked the coaches, then have to search the school looking for them and notify authorities we have a missing student. This is a huge hassle. Please be sure to check your student out.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Athletic Director, Mr. Dershimer.
