TEN GUARANTEES

ALL COACHES OWE EVERY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE

(CHSSA)

 

1.         Some individual time.

2.         Encouragement – regardless of the athlete’s level of ability.

3.         A reasonable opportunity to compete.

4.         TOP NOTCH ROLE MODELING – from grooming and dress to behavior and ethics in general.

5.         The absence of foul language.

6.         Assistance and guidance with personal problems that arise in every young person’s life.

7.         A well-structured athletic environment, from practices to actual competition days.

9.         DISCIPLINE! FAIR, FIRM, AND CONSISTENT.

It is very important to me and our coaches that we run a program that is the very best and puts our students first. The Colorado High School Activities Association promotes participating in high school sports with CLASS.  Commitment, Loyalty, Academic, Sportsmanship.  With that in mind, I encourage communication and feedback on any issue regarding our Bulldog Athletic Program.  While I would be happy to discuss any issue that concerns our program, please try to observe the following steps in addressing an issue or concern:

In closing, I want to say thank you to everyone that works hard to ensure that positive things happen for our students.  I also want to thank our parents and community for the support that has been shown for our student-athletes, coaches, and programs.  It is so important to those athletes when they look up into the stands and see friends, family, staff and community supporting them.  Keep up the great support!  If you are interested in getting involved with our “Bulldog Athletics” Programs please contact the Athletic Office (303-655-4155) or contact the BHS Booster Club.  We are all looking forward to a great 2010-2011 for OUR SCHOOL, the BRIGHTON HIGH SCHOOL BULLDOGS.
