COACHES MEETING

An essential aspect of a healthy athletic department is an appropriate number of informational meetings. These meetings are varied in focus and length, and should at minimum include the following:
  • Pre-Season Coaches meeting.  This is a time to provide all coaches with important information related to relevant school district and WIAA regulations. Spending dedicated time focused on implementing your vision for athletic programs is invaluable and sets all coaches up for success. Important topics to cover include:
    • Hot Topics in Athletics - (Steve Bridge)
    • Coaches’ Manual
    • 14 Duties
    • School District Requirements
    • Athletic Department Policies
    • Concussions, Medical Care
    • Rules – State, League
    • Communication with parents
    • Cutting policies
    • Transportation
    • Keep AD informed at all time
  • League pre-season meeting.  Being an athletic director also means pitching in to manage sports for your school’s league.  As the commissioner for a league sport, an athletic director will need to run a pre-season meeting for all that sport’s coaches. An organized, efficient, thorough meeting will assist in a great experience for athletes during each season.
  • League post-season meeting. After the season, as a commissioner, an athletic director will need to bring coaches together to review the season.
  • Evaluation meetings. At the end of each season, an athletic director should schedule individual meetings with each head coach to provide clear feedback related to the coach’s performance in the program.
