Expectations
of Coaches
Coaches are to follow the example of our Lord as described in Isaiah
40:11, “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his
arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that
have young.”
Coaches should love as Jesus loved
us. Skills and fundamentals should be taught while Jesus’ love is also
modeled. The coach must understand that they are responsible for their
behavior at all times and their conduct reflects on our school and our
Savior. Coaches should have a general knowledge of the sport they are
coaching. They are to develop and encourage athletes at all skill
levels.
The coach needs to show organization, a
willingness to improve as coach, and a commitment for teaching the
fundamental skills of that particular sport. The coach is responsible
for the care and discipline of the athletes during the practices and
games.
