Expectations/Goals/Conduct
Expectations
You are a student first and athlete second. You are expected to have a “B” Average.
To do anything less limits yourself and your teammates. It also means you are
expected to make every attempt to see your teachers at a time that doesn’t
take you away from the team. Make good use of homeroom.
You are expected to be a role model. Many people hold you as an example. Expect yourself to be the best person you can. This means no smoking, swearing, drugs
and drinking. It also means you treat teachers, coaches, teammates, opponents
and fans with respect.
You are expected to try your hardest at all times, practice and games. To
be competitive in games you must be competitive in practice. You need to compete
on a daily basis.
You are expected to be a team member first. Individual concerns are between
you and your coach. These concerns should never reflect in your attitude during
practices and games.
You are expected to take pride in your appearance. Dress appropriately for
school, practices and games. Look and act like someone who deserves respect.
You are expected to be on time. Time is an important concept. School ends
at 3:15, practice begins at 3:30. Be on time for all practices, meetings, and
matches.
You are expected to communicate with your coaches. Let them know what is going
on.
You are expected to make a commitment to this tennis program.
