-
Simply keep in mind that you represent the athletic
department, our high school, and specifically our volleyball team in
everything that you do. Many people are constantly looking at you so
give then a pleasant view.
-
A loud and offensive attitude is just that, offensive,
to me and everyone around you. When someone does not do just what you
think they should it is an opportunity to do two things:1.) develop
self control and 2.) win a friend.
-
Punctuality in all endeavors is a must.
Plan to be at all functions a minimum of ten minutes ahead of schedule.
Being late will cost you heavily and could do injury to our team.
-
Excuses (reasons) after the fact will not be heard. If
it is necessary to be late the coaching staff is to be notified ahead
of time by yourself, not a teammate or another friend.
-
If you are going to miss a function (practice,
meeting, etc.) the same applies. The Head Coach must be notified ahead
of time by YOU, not someone else.
-
Any player who misses a practice must make up that
practice prior to the next match.
-
Any player who abuses an excuse for a function is
subject to probation and/or dismissal from the Volleyball Program.
-
As an athlete you need to be in class every day,
every class period. If you are going to miss a class the coach must be
notified and given the reason for missing.
-
Recommendations on the use of Alcohol and Tobacco.
-
Abstain from the use of alcoholic
beverages and tobacco. All are harmful to your body from a health stand
point as well as impairing your athletic performance. Infrequent use
can lead to habitual use which means long range personal problems for
yourself and loved ones.
-
Any player who brings embarrassment or discredits her
school and/or team through the use of the above substances is subject
to probation or dismissal from the Volleyball Program. This is your
decision if you want to remain in the program.
-
Complaining is an absolute waste of human
brain power and breath. The English language has acceptable ways to
express every human thought and emotion. Always complaining indicates a
disrespect for those around you. I simply do not want to hear it. Mumbling
is as disgraceful as complaining --- speak up or "swallow it".
- Game Day Dress
The dress for game day will be decided upon by the team
members and coach. This will serve as a constant reminder to ourselves
and our fellow students that special things are going to happen today
and we need to be preparing ourselves for it.
- Care of Equipment
You are responsible for the equipment which is given to
you. We have been able to have nice equipment because we have taken
care of what we have. Your parents pay taxes to help finance our
program and we have a responsibility to account for each dollar that is
spent. If you lose it, you buy it.If you leave it out after practice or
a game, you run to get it back.
- Curfew
Getting the proper rest is a must if an athlete is to
perform at peak level. Therefore, we expect our athletes to be in by
12:00 on Friday, 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, and 10:30 p.m. Sunday through
Thursday. Failure to comply will cost you. The night before a game we
expect you in at 10:00 p.m.
-
Academic Attitude
-
The greatest responsibility you have as an athlete, to
yourself first and then to our Volleyball Program, is that of achieving
success in the classroom. Making the grade of "A-B-C" is not the
ultimate goal but rather by the product of a desire to do all that you
can with what you gave. It is the desire to learn, to know, and to
accumulate knowledge so that in the long run you not only have enhanced
your potential to live the "good life" but also gained the capability
of sharing it with others.
-
Your attitude in the classroom to teachers and
students reflects on our Girl's Athletic Program. Any disrespect shown
toward teachers will be disciplined!
-
Team Travel
-
Loud talking and/or laughing will not be tolerated on
the bus. A proper mental attitude is necessary if we are to be ready
for our opponent. Psyche yourself to win.
-
If your presence becomes annoying, you won't be making
any away matches with the team.
-
Notes
Students/Athletes will be released to ride home after
the game with their parents only if they have a signed note from their
parents and it is given to the coach before they board the bus. All
athletes are expected to ride home on the bus on nights of district
matches.
-
Schedule
The volleyball schedule is made in advance. This
schedule is subject to change during the season.
-
Team
Once a team member, you are an integral part of the
team. You may play in every game, in every other game, in only one
game, or maybe not at all. Every member of the team is important. If
you sit the bench or play continuously, we all first play to WIN!!!
