Horace Mann Athletics Page 8 SELECTION POLICY Choosing the members of athletic teams is the sole responsibility of the coaches of those teams. Non-varsity coaches shall take into consideration the policies established by the head coach in that particular program when selecting final team rosters. Prior to team selection, the coach shall provide the following information to all candidates: • extent of selection period • criteria used to select the team • number to be selected • practice commitment if they make the team • game commitments The selection process will include three important elements. Each candidate shall: • have participated in (2) tryout sessions. • have performed in at least one intra squad experience, if possible. • be personally informed of not being selected by the coach and the reason for the action. Selection lists are not to be posted. Coaches will discuss alternative possibilities for participation in the sport, or other areas of the program. ATTEND THE PLAYER/PARENT PRESEASON MEETING One of the most important ingredients for a successful sport season is effective, open, and appropriate communication between the coach, student athlete and parent. In order to ensure that this communication takes place, preseason meetings are scheduled by the athletic department. Topics of these meetings include athletic department policies, individual team expectations and rules, the health safety of the student athlete and a variety of other subjects. When preseason meetings are scheduled, student athletes and parents are expected to attend. ATTEND PRACTICE SESSIONS Student athletes are expected to attend all scheduled practice sessions and games unless excused by the coach. The importance of practice is clearly stated in the Philosophy section of this handbook. It is important to note that fall practices for varsity and junior varsity teams begin in the third and fourth weeks of August. A pre season calendar for the following year will be available after Winter Recess.
