Academics
The first priority in our program will be academics. Athletes will be required to maintain athletic eligibility by the guidelines dictated by the school district. To assist students in maintaining eligibility, the following options will be considered or implemented:
Later practice start times to allow for students to connect with teachers after school. This also allows any coaches off campus an opportunity to get to practice.
Peer mentoring/tutoring opportunities throughout the week.
Weekly check in with myself and/or other coaches in the building.
Enabling students to communicate with teachers in person and digitally.
Pre-season discussion on study habits and best ways to prepare.
Weekly grade check through administration.
Implement group accountability through a team goal of 3.1 GPA.
Overall, in our philosophy of becoming better, academics is the first step of this process. Athletes will be expected to take care of school work, and if they are considered academically ineligible, this will never be questioned.
