Pioneer Lacrosse Team Rules and Policies

Athletes are expected to be on time for all practice and games. Students attending extra-help should bring a signed pass to their coach. Repeated, unexcused tardiness will result in a loss of playing time.

Athletes are expected to display proper sportsmanship before, during, and after events.

Athletes are required to ride on school provided transportation while traveling to and from away contests. Exceptions may be granted with travel release procedures.

Athletes are expected to personally notify their coach if they will be late or miss a practice or game.

If you are in attendance at school you must attend practice unless you check with Coach Carangelo

If you are absent from school or are unable to attend practice on a non-school day, you must call Coach Carangelo at least one hour before practice (908-209-0452). Injured players must report to Coach Carangelo then to the Athletic Trainer for treatment. Once you have completed treatment, you must report to practice.

Athletes are expected to attend all practices and games. Unexcused absence will result in a loss of playing time and possible further discipline.

All student-athletes must realize their obligation to the team and refrain from scheduling any conflicting activity during the season.

Athletes are expected to discuss all concerns and disagreements with your coach or teammate in private and according to the attached communication guidelines (see next slide)

Player Communications Protocol

STEP 1 The concerned player should approach his immediate head coach to schedule a time to discuss his questions or concerns. If the player does not feel comfortable and satisfied with the outcome of this meeting, he should move forward with Step 2.

STEP 2 The concerned player should request a meeting involving himself, his immediate Head Coach and the Varsity Head Coach. If the player does not feel comfortable and satisfied with the outcome of this meeting, he should move forward with Step 3.

STEP 3 A meeting involving the player, the necessary lacrosse coaches and parent(s)/guardian(s) should be requested via e-mail. This e-mail should include a brief explanation of the player/parent concerns. If email access is a problem please contact the Athletic Director in order to schedule a time. If this meeting does not resolve the situation, the player and his parents should then move forward with Step 4.

STEP 4 A meeting should be requested involving the player, appropriate lacrosse coaches, parent(s)/guardian(s), and the Athletic Director. If all the parties involved are still not comfortable with the outcome of this meeting, additional alternatives should be discussed to resolve this matter.

When a player or parent has questions or concerns regarding the program or a player's individual role on the team, it is important to keep in mind the following communications process that has been adopted by the lacrosse program. This process provides an effective and efficient progression, focused on solving any problem that may develop throughout the season. Understand that game strategy is not up for discussion at any meeting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION1. All discussion should focus on individual questions or concerns.2. The performance and ability of other players will not be a subject of discussion. This is contrary

to our team values of mutual respect and support.3. Before leaving any meeting, be sure to clarify and summarize your thoughts and feelings. This

will ensure that everyone involved has a clear understanding of the meeting's outcome.
