practices and games.
◦ Schedules are not set in stone, you should check the website daily
for any changes. Go to www.maryhelpathletics.com or click on
“Sports” on the Mary Help home page.

4.  Coaches are committed to helping the girls reach
their full potential. They will do what is best for
the team at all times.
 Players are expected to respect the coaches’
decisions. If there are any concerns, they should
be addressed after practice or a game, not before
or during, because it takes away from the other
team members.
 Parents are expected to be spectators and
respect the coaches’ decisions. Cheering at the
games is a big YES! Coaching your child or the
team during the game or yelling at the referee is
a big NO and will not be tolerated.

5.  Players must travel to the game with the team on
the bus. A parent/guardian may drive their
daughter home from a game or practice, but
must sign her out with the coach before leaving.
 Every effort must be made to pick your daughter
up from practices and games on time. Should
you be unable to get there within a reasonable
amount of time, please communicate this to the
coach, so arrangements can be made. When and
if this should occur, the girls will be escorted by
their coach to the chapel or the Main Office
where they will sit with the sisters until they can
be picked up.

 Volleyball and soccer: Knee Socks are considered
part of the uniform. Each player is responsible for
going out and purchasing a pair of plain white
knee socks (they should not have any writing or
logos on them). These are expected to be worn at
all games: failure to do so will result in the player
sitting the game out. This is a state and league
requirement. Therefore it is highly recommended
that each girl has several pairs.
