General Expectations

• It is a privilege (not a right) to be part of this team
• Use common sense
• Expectations

– Daily attendance is expected – Try to schedule Family Vacations before 8/15 in 2016 – Bad weather is not a reason to cancel practice – Varsity are at practice over MEA break (all welcome) – Expectations are not the same for every athlete

• Respect

– Coaches, teammates, facilities, equipment, opponents, and officials

• Academics are most important, but learning to balance

and time manage are important lessons
