One 7thgrade team and one 8thgrade team Girls usually play on Monday Nights Boys usually play on Thursday Night The LISD Championship tournament will be at the end of the season.
Girls will have game day t-shirts, if you choose to not order a t-shirt you must dress up (in dress code) for each game. Boys will wear the Lamar Polo with slacks. If you choose not to order the game day meal, food needs to be dropped off in the front office by 4:00 or brought to school with the athlete. Game Day T-shirt and Meals will be given when teams are decided
If an athlete gets sick or hurt the coaching staff ask that you send a note, call, or email about their condition. A doctor s note, with specific limitations, is required if the athlete is to miss for an extended period of time.
When injuries occur we recommend that you see the trainers at Marcus. They will evaluate the injury and let you know if they think you need to go see a doctor or if you need some therapy, which they can offer free of cost.
An athlete that fails a class at the end of each six weeks grading period will become ineligible to play in game competition for three weeks. During this time they is expected to participate in all practices. If at the end of the three week period ALL grades are passing, they will be allowed to compete on the date specified by the TEA/UIL Eligibility Calendar.
Any student that is injured as the result of participating in middle school sports is covered on a secondary basis by the policy purchased by LISD. Parents must first file on their own insurance. The District s accident policy will only pay after the parent(s) has filed on their own policy and submits proof. Coach Anderson and Coach Knowles will have the forms and information if needed.
Team travel will be accomplished in school buses. Parents are allowed to take their athlete home from a sporting event only if they sign out with a coach. Parents will not be allowed to take home athletes that are not their child, unless prior approval has been given by Lamar Admin. Football everyone rides to and from the games on the bus.
If you miss a game for a club sport or anything OUTSIDE of LISD activities you will sit out what you missed, unless approved by Administration. For example if you miss a game on Monday you will sit on the bench and not play the next game. Illness and Bereavement do not fall under this category.
Appropriate concerns to discuss with a coach: 1)What your child needs to do to improve. 2)Concerns about your child s behavior. It is very difficult to accept your child is not playing as much or the position you hoped for. Coaches make decisions based on what they believe is the best interest of all students participating. As you can see from the list above, certain things can and should be discussed with your child s coach. Other things, such as those listed next, must be left to the discretion of the coach. Issues NOT appropriate for discussion with your child s coach: 1)How much playing time each athlete is getting. 2)Team strategy. 3)Play calling. 4)Any situation that deals with other student-athletes There are situations that may require a conference between the coach and parent. These are not discouraged, as it is important for each party to have a clear understanding of the other s position. When these conferences are necessary, the following procedure is suggested to help promote resolution to the issue.
There are situations that may require a conference between the coach and parent. These are not discouraged, as it is important for each party to have a clear understanding of the other s position. When these conferences are necessary, the following procedure is suggested to help promote resolution to the issue. 1)Call the coach or email to set up an appointment 2)Think about what you expect to accomplish as a result of the meeting. 3)Stick to discussing the facts, as you understand them. 4)DO NOT confront a coach before, during, or after a practice or contest. These can be emotional times for both the parent and coach. Meeting of this nature do not promote resolution of the situation, but often escalate it. We prefer to talk to the athlete before any parent meetings are set up. We feel like this is a very important age for the girls to learn to be a self- advocate. Please follow the proper Chain of Command 1)Specific Sport Coach 2)Principal 3)Marcus High School Head Coach 4)High School Athletic Coordinator 5)LISD Middle School Athletic Coordinator 6)LISD Girls Athletic Director 7)LISD Athletic Director
