PARENT EXPECTATIONS

If you have any concerns about your athlete or the program, please follow the chain of communication: 
PARTICIPANT/PARENT >  Assistant COACH >  Head COACH >  ATHLETIC DIRECTOR  >  PRINCIPAL
* Please do not expect a coach’s immediate response to you for an incident that occurs during a practice or meet. Meetings should take place a minimum of 24 hours after an incident occurs or after it has been brought to their attention.

PARENT AS SUPPORTER

Parents/Guardians are encouraged to support their athletes at home and on the track. Ensuring your athlete is equipped with adequate sleep, nutrition, and necessary equipment (proper fitted shoes, warm clothes, etc) to face their full day is fundamental to their success. We encourage parents to offer positive encouragement on and off the track, but please refrain from coaching your athletes on the sidelines—it is a distraction and often counterproductive to their success. We understand that T&F feels like an individual sport and that your athlete spends a lot more time with you between events, but strategy needs to be left to the coaching staff as we have a bigger picture in mind that you may not understand. With that said, parents, family, friends, and non-BHS coaching staff should play the role as a supporter and not as a strategic instructor during the season.
HOME MEETS are our PRIMARY FUNDRAISING EVENTS:
​Much of our team expenses will be funded by the proceeds from our home meets; therefore, it is imperative that every family helps out to ensure they are first-class events.  Mercury Invite March 17th 10:00 a.m. @ BHS Track. We need assistance with crewing field events, back-up hand timing, announcing, snack bar management, and/or results management. Please contact Karen Smidt (ksmidt@sd27j.net) if you can help. Parent/adult volunteers can also help toward fulfilling an athlete’s lettering requirement (see Lettering).
FROM BHS ATHLETICS:
