Parent Meeting For Inaugural Girls Flag Football Season On October 23
I would like to invite the parents of girls interested in joining our 1st ever season of Girls Flag Football (grades 9-12) informational meeting to be held at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday October 23. The meeting will be held at Skyline High School in rooms 1402/1404. The season will begin on November 18with competition starting the first week of December. This meeting will only be held once and it is very important that at least one parent attend this meeting. We will be covering everything you need to know about the upcoming season: parent involvement, events, practice schedules, athletic code, player expectations, player equipment and game schedules. Given this is the inaugural season we will also be discussing opportunities to start a booster club and help in creating a great experience for all of the girls. Lastly, I am excited to share with all of you my background, coaching style and give you a glimpse into how my staff and I will coach and communicate with the athletes. I am beyond excited to start this program and developit into one that is synonymous with success and excellence which will be poised to compete for a State Championship year in and year out!
I look forward to seeing you!

Sportsmanship
Integrity | Scholarship | Honor and Pride | Excellence | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Athlete | COMPETE – All members of the team. All the time. “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.” - Prefontaine | Self-advocate and communicate with teachers. Compete in the classroom. | Realize that hard work leads to success and that true success cannot be achieved without hard work. Humility before pride. |
Have a vision of how good we could be so that you understand WHY we are working so hard. |
Coach | Set a positive example on and off the field. Being their coach never stops. | Make a concerted effort to reach out to athletes who struggle academically. Communicate the academic probation process clearly to athletes and parents. | Ask yourself, “Would you play for you?” Be a coach that encourages players to reach their potential, not someone who discourages them from trying. | Be a part of the athletic community. Attend other sports’ events and find ways to support our non-athletes. |
Athletic Department | Emphasize sportsmanship among our fans and parents. We can be the best at that, too. Have systems in place to ensure that all WIAA, Kingco, and ISD rules are followed. Nothing slips through the cracks. | Communicate the academic probation process clearly to athletes, teachers, parents, and coaches. Support athletes who are struggling in the classroom. Don’t just take a punitive approach. Celebrate our academic successes. | Publicize our successes. Take pride in the truly important stuff – not just wins and championships. Work to create a game atmosphere that our community can enjoy. | Be among the most organized AD’s in the league. No dropped balls. Hold all coaches to a high standard with our covenants. |
Parent | Model poise and confidence in the stands, in the community, and at home. Understand how the student-athlete experience fits into athletes’ lives as a whole. | Support academic success along with athletic. Encourage follow-through by your athletes with both their coaches and their teachers. | Represent the IHS Community well before, during, and after the game. “Preparing our kids for the road, not preparing the road for our kids.” | Seek out ways to support your athletes’ program. It takes a village… Realize that your support through the wins AND the losses makes a difference. |
Goals:
- Give athletes a great experience.
- Usesports to teach life lessons.
