Positive Parent Support• We have tremendous parent support at FMHS!• The TEAM needs your POSITIVE support at

home as well as when your son or daughter is with the team. If you are negative, your child will bring that attitude with them to the game or practice and we cannot tolerate that in our programs. If for some reason you disagree with a coach or if you have concerns, have your son or daughter contact their coach immediately.

The Athletic Chain of Command

• Step 1 – The player will meet with the Coach to try and resolve the problem.

• Step 2 – The player, parent, and coach will meet and try to resolve the problem.

• Step 3 – The player, parent, coach, and athletic director will meet and try to resolve the problem.

Meetings should not take place before or after a game as emotions are very high during these times.
