OFFICIALS Parents should not use foul or abusive language toward any official. Officials are trained to make calls. At times it will be a judgment call or an opinion of that official. Remember that a parent has never over ruled an official and never will. Understand that no one (including an official) is perfect…officials call games as they see them to the best of their ability. Parents’ conduct should be conduct that you would want your child or other children to model. Please remember this in your tone, your words and your actions. Youngsters are watching you and will be influenced by your behavior. |

PLAYERS Your player has registered to play football.
Playing a sport requires practice, conditioning and perseverance.
Playing a team sport requires having team members present at practice to be
conditioned, evaluated and trained for positions. It is important for a
team sport to have all members present for practice. Players may
have limited playing time if they do not adequately attend and participate in
practices. Recreation league rules dictate that every player will be
given the opportunity to play. Players/parents need to let coaches know as soon as possible if they will not be able to play in a game. This will allow coach adequate time to revise team strategy. A coach may limit playing time for missed practices and games. |

CONCERNS If as a parent you have questions or
concerns..please be courteous and professional. Periods prior to
practices or games are not appropriate times to discuss problems you may have
with you players’ football experience. Coaches should be focusing
attention on practice and or the game. We suggest either a telephone
call, email or arrange a time to meet/discuss concerns at a mutually
convenient time. Please speak with your coach first. Follow
the chain of command. If you still have concerns then bring them to the
attention of the Athletic Superintendent, Jeff Middlebrooks. Submit
concerns in writing to him. He will review, make recommendations and
respond. If after this course of action, your concerns have not
been sufficiently addressed, then present your written concerns to Director,
Mindy Daniel. She will review and respond. If in the event
concerns are still present, you may take item before Recreation
Commission. Must follow procedure to be placed on Commission agenda of
submitting in writing request to be placed on the agenda at least 5 working
