Preseason Parents Meeting

Every team will conduct a preseason informational meeting for the families of their student-athletes. These meetings are an important tool of communication between athletics and our families and are essential to ensure that the season begins well. These meetings should always be positive, opened in prayer, and include the following:

• Explanation of required forms to be completed (MPCS Consent Form, Emergency Medical Form, GHSA Physical Form);
• Explanation of parent-athlete-coach relationship, distribute Athletic Information Brochure and reinforce the philosophy and core beliefs of MPC athletics;
• Discussion of the coaching philosophy, plan for handling disciplinary issues, and expectations for the season;
• Reinforce that character development and spiritual formation are priorities in athletics;
• Explanation of player pack components, pricing, and expected delivery;
• Inform our families of how injured players will be cared for, and review the requirement that each student-athlete have health coverage;
• Distribution of practice and game schedules;
• Solicit parent volunteers (Team Parent, scorekeeper, concessions, gate, etc.); and
• Promote involvement in the Eagle Backer Booster Club and the importance of parent volunteers.
