  1. McGraw AthleticsParent Information Night

  2. Welcome! Objectives: Create awareness of Policies and Procedures Improve communication between Parents, Players, Coaches and Administrators Allow Parents/Athletes a time to ask questions

  3. Attendance • Academic and Athletic Success • Policy: • If a Student-Athlete is late/absent from school they may not participate in practices or games • A note from a doctor, NOT a parent is needed to participate that day • Extenuating Circumstances • Communication is KEY!

  4. Academics • If a Student-Athlete fails ONE course at the Interim or 10-week marking period, he/she may continue to participate on their team. • If a Student-Athlete fails TWO or more courses at the Interim or 10-week marking period, he/she is considered ineligible until the next marking period.

  5. Physicals Every Student-Athlete needs a current physical to participate in Athletics If a physical is current at the beginning of a season, the Student-Athlete is eligible for THAT sports season Physicals are good for ONE YEAR

  6. Transportation Players must ride the bus to away games. A parent may sign out their son/daughter with the coach after an away game to ride home with them. Student-Athletes may NOT ride home with another child’s parent or bring in a note that states they have permission to ride with someone else.

  7. Playing Time • Modified • Everyone plays, every game • JV • Best athletes play the majority of the time, but opportunities to play are still there for everyone • Varsity • Best athletes play the majority of the time • All playing time is based on the coaches discretion

  8. Chain of Command A Student-Athlete/parent has a concern about playing time… Who can I talk to??? #1 – Coach #2 – Athletic Director #3 – HS Principal #4 – Superintendent #5 – Board of Education

  9. Chain of Command (cont’) • Things to consider: • Don’t approach a coach after a game in anger. • Ask the coach, or call the next day, if there is a time when you can talk with him/her. • Encourage your child to talk with the coach first. • Always remember we are all here because we want what is best for KIDS!

  10. Sideline Behavior Yelling at an official will NOT cause them to become a better official. It sets a bad example for the players and ultimately creates a disadvantage for our kids/teams.

  11. Social Media

  12. Social Media (cont’) Social Media plays a HUGE role in the lives of Student-Athletes and their parents. It can be a very useful tool for spreading and gathering information.

  13. Social Media (cont’) • However... • Keep all posts POSITIVE • Tweet about a win! • Post a pic of your teammate scoring a goal! • Send a proud message to your child. • If you don’t have anything nice to say… • Put the phone down!! • If you are angry, frustrated or need to vent. • Angry/rude postings by anyone, only ends up hurting our kids.

  14. Extracurricular Code of Conduct Refer to Student Handbook

  15. Concussion Awareness My child suffered a concussion during an athletic activity…what happens next? Return to play Protocol (RTP) established by NYSPHSAA School doctor (Castellanos) must sign off on final RTP checklist

  16. Non-School Sports Student-Athletes are encouraged to prioritize their involvement in Non-School sponsored athletics All of our coaches try to make sure athletes know that school sports come before non-school sports If an athlete gets injured in a non-school sport, they are encouraged to let their school coach know ASAP.
