The Athletic Programs at Trinity Middle, Junior and Senior High Schools are intended to develop our athletes into winners in their sports and to develop a success orientation towards life.

In athletics, no one performs well accidentally; it is the result of preparation.  The same is true of life; a person who is goal-oriented and self-driven will succeed. Preparation provides all participants a sense of confidence to perform well because of the dedication towards a purpose.

Through athletics we are preparing our students to build carry over values which will be sustained through out life.
 

 
It is the duty of all concerned with high school / middle school athletics.

1. To emphasize the proper ideals of sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and fair play.

2. To conduct ones self as a young man and young woman ‘on’ and ‘off’ the field.

3. To stress the values derived from playing the game fairly.

4. To respect the integrity and judgment of sports officials.

5. To show cordial courtesy to visiting teams and officials.

6. To achieve and understand all standards of eligibility.

7. To encourage leadership, use of initiative and good judgment by the players.

8. To recognize that the purpose of athletics is to promote the physical, mental, moral, social, and emotional well-being of the individual players.
    

Students who are not eligible shall not be permitted to appear in any interscholastic contest. Ineligible students will not practice, sit on team bench or be on the premises. The exception to this would only be students during their one week probation due to the three week grade check. During the probation practice is allowed.

Athletic involvement is highly emotional and very time consuming. Sometimes conflicts arise between students, coaches and occasionally parents. However, the students’ interest is best served when each participant understands the position of the other.

First Step: Contacting the coach

The athlete should present the conflict/issue to the coach as soon as possible, if personal contact is not practical, a student may as his/her captain to approach the coach. If the personal or captain route is not possible, contact may be made by the athlete parent at an appropriate time. In order for the contact to be as productive as possible, times that athletes, captains, or parents should avoid are:

4Prior to, during or immediately following a contest

4During practice

4When other students are present

4When it is not apparent that there is not sufficient time to allow for a complete discussion

Perhaps the best solution is to schedule an appointment to discuss the issue.

Second Step: Contacting the Athletic Director

If a satisfactory solution is not reached through directed contact with the coach, the student and/or parent should contact the Athletic Director. The coach should be informed by the student or parent that this contact is going to be made. If this discussion does not result in a satisfactory conclusion, than a meeting will be scheduled involving all concerned parties. It is very important to know all students, and their parents with regard to comments, concerns, or issues raised to the Athletic Director will be addressed. Parents and students may also expect to hear from the Athletic Director as to the dispositions of their concerns.

Third Step: Contacting the Principal

If a satisfactory resolution has not been reached through contact with the coach, and Athletic Director the student or parent may contact the High School Principal. The Athletic Director should be informed that this contact is going to be made.

Retribution

Students / Parents must be confident that the voicing of a concern, using the proper forum and method, is not only free from penalty or retribution, but also is strongly encouraged. If at anytime, a student or his/her parent suspects that some form of retribution is surfacing as a result of voicing of a concern or issues, (using the proper form) contact the Athletic Director immediately.
 

Although there are many measure of success in the minds of each participant, perhaps the mot emotional is ‘playing time’ during contests. If a student has questions as to his/her playing time you are encouraged to discuss them with your coach.

Middle School and Junior Varsity teams:

In both of these levels the emphasis is fundamental development and participation. A balance between these two points and winning will be the objective.

Varsity Teams:

While coaches at the varsity level will make a strong effort to play all team members, the emphasis is fielding as competitive of a team with the goal of winning as many games as possible. This emphasis results in uneven playing times among the athletes, with some students not playing in every game. The coach makes the decision on who starts, who plays and for how long.

Note: At all levels when the coach feels that the winning or losing of a contest is not in doubt, the coach will make every effort to play as many players as possible.
