Coach your athletes to be responsible and to exercise self-discipline so that the learning environment can be maintained and the rights of all athletes are respected.
Have your athletes be held responsible for understanding and complying with the team rules. Have the athletes understand the violation of any rules will be subject to discipline.
Here are some rules that should be considered in talking with your athletes before the season starts:
Do attend practice on time and be present every day unless absent with a valid excuse.
Do not at any time use profane or vulgar language or make obscene or suggestive gestures.
Do not at any time participate in any form of hazing.
Do not at any time bring any form of radio, CD player or telephone pager onto the field.
Do not wear any non-school club jackets sweatshirts. Bandanas are absolutely not allowed.
Hats are absolutely not to be worn at any time.
Do follow all instructions and directions from the coach.
Do respect the track & field program setting by maintaining civil and respectful verbal environment.
Do everything possible to improve the track & field environment. At no time deface, damage, destroy or steal and do not steal from other athletes.
Do dress for success on the track & field team. It is important for all athletes to understand that the impression they portray belongs entirely to the person or persons looking at them.
Do make every possible effort to complete the workout session.
Discipline Procedures:
First violation - Verbal warning
Second violation - Discussion (usually with head coach, assistant coach and athlete)
Third Violation - a telephone call to the offending athlete's parents (athlete will usually quit before the telephone call)
All athletes are reminded that they are subject to complying with team rules at all times. This includes participation at other competing schools.
If you have to question your action, it is probably the wrong thing to do.
For example, if you are questioning a part of your attire such as a non-school cap or a T-shirt from another school (it happens!), then it is not the proper attire so don't wear it. This applies to coaches, too. You have to set the example. Don't wear caps with professional team logos. Wear school caps only. Walk the walk and talk the talk.
