The following process should be followed:

o   Parent may contact coach after step one, by email or phone, requesting a meeting.  Requests for a meeting will never be made just before, during or after a game or a practice session.

o   If an issue arises during a contest please use the 24 hour rule before contacting the coach. 

o   If, after steps one and two, a solution has not been achieved, a meeting may be requested with the Athletic Office.  If appropriate, all parties will be scheduled to meet, allowing an opportunity to share perceptions.

By airing concerns, in a respectful process, we can work toward relationships that will continue to help build a positive athletic program for all our athletic families.
