Milton High School has a proud history of quality athletics. We believe athletics provides student athletes the life lessons of teamwork, responsibility, commitment, and sacrifice in a way that cannot be taught in the classroom.

Athletes must be in attendance for every hour of the school day. If they are not, they cannot participate in practices or games/events that day. For Doctor appts. or other similar appts., athletes must have the absence approved by the AD before they can participate that day. There will be very little room for exceptions. Athletes are required to be in school.
Lock up your valuables during practices. Leave your computer in your locker. Coaches will identify where each team will be dressing for practices and games. If you do not have a lock, you may purchase one from Ace Hardware. Be sure your lock is a V69 or V66. No cell phones or other electronic imaging devices are allowed in locker rooms or restrooms.
Starters Often receive the most playing time, and most reps in practice. Role Players Often receive some playing time based on match-ups, score of game, and situations. Those happy to be a part of the team Receive little or no playing time. Still a valuable part of preparing team for competition.
JV 2 (formerly freshmen) Primarily 9th and 10th graders. No one is guaranteed any amount of playing time. Some sports have a 5th quarter or reserve team. Coaches may choose to play the most talented players 1st.
JV (9th, 10th, and 11th graders) Most talented sophomores and freshmen. Some juniors are provided playing time . Goal is to begin preparing for varsity No one guaranteed any playing time Coaches begin to separate players by talent.
Varsity Best players regardless of age (meaning all grades are considered) Attempt to win games, but not at all costs.
Moving players up a level or more It is entirely up to the coaching staff on placement of a player. Not everyone can be moved up, or the younger teams’ numbers will be devastated.
Athlete – Participants, Focus of Program Coach – Professionals, Set the Philosophy for the Program Officials – Professionals who administer the contests. Parents – Fans & Supporters
A parent’s role is simply to support. They must support their child, the athletic programs, the coaches, officials, and the

“Great Hustle!” “That’s ok!”
lose, I really enjoy watching you play.” “Just keeping working hard.” “So tonight wasn’t your night – at least you gave it your all.” “I’m proud of you.”

What support doesn’t look like:
“Get your act together.” “What’s the matter with you?” “What are you doing?” “Better start coaching.” “That’s a terrible call ref.”
were terrible tonight.” Your coach doesn’t know what she’s doing.” “Your teammates are terrible.” “That official was the worse ever.”
think that you are not proud of them.
Let it go – one of the greatest lessons you can teach your child is how to cope with tough situations. But as a parent, you have to first let it go before you can help your child move
Four years of high school will go fast, and this will be a blip on the radar of your child’s life. Parents must do everything they can to keep it as a positive experience and use this time to help prepare your child for their future. Things will not always go their way, but how they react to each situation now will help them handle future challenges. High School is a safe place to have some failures and some disappointments. Instead of teaching your child that it’s always someone else’s fault, let’s all help students/athletes learn to positively cope as they go through the ups and downs of high school.
Players must learn to advocate for themselves by communicating with the coaching staff. Parents must communicate with their athlete and support them as they cope with the various issues that arise. Parents should contact a coach as a last resort (never about playing time). Never contact a coach at home or immediately after a contest.

Students need good time management. Parents and students need to communicate with each other. Understand that expectations increase each year your child progresses in a sport. Stay positive – “Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out.” John Wooden
