Coaches may raise their voice during practice or in games for instruction or redirection. It is NOT personal.  Athletes will respect facilities and equipment .  CARRY THE BANNER

Always use the buddy system.  ATHLETES WILL NOT RECEIVE EQUAL PLAYING TIME.

TEAM EXPECTATIONS  Game Etiquette  Any item(s) that need to be delivered to an athlete should be done so through the coach. No soda or candy before a game. In case of emergency, please contact the coach.  Team time begins when warm up for the first game begins no matter what team the athlete is on. Please do not put your child in a difficult position by trying to get his attention before, during, or after a game (what we call “team time”) until he has been released by his coach.

TEAM EXPECTATIONS  Game Etiquette  Parents, please do not coach your child from the bleachers/stands.  Be an enthusiastic Tex Hill fan. Always display the class and pride for which we are known.  Degrading of any player or referee is not representative of the Tex Hill tradition.  Referees may penalize any team for spectator behavior.

TEAM EXPECTATIONS  Job vs. Purpose  During the year, you may not always agree with a decision we make or an offense or defense that we are running. Your children love you and look up to you. What you say to your child will not change the coach’s decision, but only cause doubt in your child’s mind and may cause dissension within the team. We would hope that if you have concerns you would contact the appropriate coach for a conference. Please be aware that we are under the leadership of the Johnson High School programs and follow their direction within our programs.  Please do not approach a coach after a game. We all have conference periods and are more than willing to sit down and speak with you. To address concerns, please make an appointment by calling (210) 356-8035 .

TEAM EXPECTATIONS  Transportation  Athletes must ride the school bus to off-campus games.  A Team players MAY leave before B Team games begin.

B Team players will travel back to campus with the coaching staff, unless previous arrangements have been made with the coaching staff.

TEAM EXPECTATIONS  Uniforms/Appearance  No jewelry of any kind while on campus, during practice, and during games.  Please review the Athletic Packet for other dress code violations and lost items.  Decisions  Decisions will always be based on what is best for the team and then what is best for the individual.
