Parental Involvement

Introduction

Welcome to the Overland High School Football family! As we embark on a new season under the leadership of Coach Tony Lindsay, parental support is more crucial than ever. Our collective effort can turn this season into one of growth and success. Here, we outline how you can actively participate and make a significant difference.

Expectations from Parents

  • Supportive Environment: Maintain a positive and encouraging environment during games and practices. Please refrain from coaching from the sidelines.
  • Respect for Staff and Officials: Show respect towards coaching decisions and referees' calls. If you have concerns, address them privately with the coach.
  • Academic Monitoring: Ensure your athlete maintains their academic eligibility by monitoring their school performance and communicating with school staff if issues arise.

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Volunteering: We need parent volunteers for various roles, including game day operations, fundraising events, and transport coordination. Volunteering is a great way to stay connected with the team and contribute to our success.

  • Event Support: Attend games to cheer on the team. Your presence means a lot to the players and helps build a vibrant team spirit.
