Royal Athletic Parent Covenant

Competition

  • As a parent, I understand and agree that The First Academy Athletic Department fields competitive programs in each sport.

Playing Time

  • As a parent, I understand and agree that all players may or may not play during each game.
  • As a parent, I understand that not all players will have equal playing time.
  • As a parent, I understand and agree that the coaches will not discuss playing time with parents.

Role Players

  • As a parent, I understand and agree that each player will have a role to play on their respective team.
  • As a parent, I understand that the coaching staff will determine the role of the player, and I will support that decision with our child, other parents, and coaches.

Coaching

  • As a parent, I understand and agree to let the coaches coach and the players play, while focusing my energy on encouraging and cheering. I will not give direction to my child from the stands or sidelines.

Payment of Fees

  • As a parent, I understand and agree to pay all athletic fees associated by the published due date for each season. All participation fees and player package fees will be billed and paid through RenWeb and managed through the Finance Office. Fees not paid by required deadlines will result in the Student-Athlete being removed from participation.

Volunteering

  • As a parent, I understand and agree to volunteer to serve once during each season that my Student Athlete participates. An additional fee will be assessed to each student participation fee at the beginning of the season, which will cover the cost of staffing those positions to cover shifts. Parents may receive a refund of this additional fee by signing up prior to the sign-up deadline and work a two-hour shift as agreed upon.

Fundraising

  • As a parent, I agree to not raise funds nor organize other parents to raise funds.

Conflict Resolution

  • As a parent, I will demonstrate Christ-like behavior in resolving conflict. I will follow the Matthew 18 principle and will not complain, gossip or criticize those with whom I may have a disagreement.

As a parent, I agree to abide by the conflict resolution policy found in the Athletic Handbook to resolve all athletic related concerns.
