EXPECTATIONS FOR PLAYERS, PARENTS AND COACHES: LUDERE UT UNUM - “PLAY AS ONE”
Participants are representative of Boerne Lacrosse and Champion Charger Lacrosse and must conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positively on the clubs at all times. Specifically, they must:
● Maintain a passing average in all academic courses
● Be punctual and prepared for all games, practices, meetings, and events. Make sure they have all necessary equipment and gear.
● Clean up the field after practices and games
● Treat all club property with respect and ensure that loaned/rented club property is returned upon request and in good condition (excluding reasonable wear and tear).
● Be courteous and respectful toward all fellow participants, coaches, parents, officials, and volunteers. Gossip, derogatory comments, and foul language will not be tolerated.
● For Varsity and JV, provide 24-hour advance written notice to the Coach if they are unable to attend a game, practice, meeting, and/or other scheduled event. Penalty will be team sprints.
CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS:
Concerns should be brought forward in a timely manner. Parents or students should bring any concerns forward within 15 days of when they first became aware of the concern. If a player or parent has a concern related to their student’s participation in lacrosse, there is a proper chain of command to follow:
1. For Varsity or JV, meet with your captains
2. Meet with the coach
3. Meet with the Director of Coaching
4. Meet with the Board of Directors
COACHABLE VS UNCOACHABLE:
The difference between a good athlete and a great athlete is the athlete’s willingness to listen, learn, and improve. Players need to have a humble and open mindset. As a team, the focus should be WE not ME.
Players need to ask themselves:
● What is my attitude out on the field?
● Am I supporting my teammates?
● Do I look my coach in the eye?
● Do I ask for feedback and implement it?
● Am I committed to the team and the game?
SPORTSMANSHIP:
Players should always:
● Have a positive attitude
● Give their best effort
● Support teammates and never criticize them for trying
● Accept calls and respect the officials
● Treat the other team with respect
