At AHCS we emphasis the student in student athlete. All students must maintain a 2.0 GPA average and no failing grades at the end of any marking period throughout the season. If a student falls below this average, they will not be permitted to team practices or compete in any contest until their GPA meets the requirement. Please see the student handbook for more information.

Parents are also required to volunteer throughout the year during home games. We depend on volunteers to run concessions, admissions, scoreboard/time clock and line judge during Volleyball Matches. We do our best to ensure parents are able to watch their student play.

For our middle school teams, parents are welcome to contact the Coach to excuse your student athlete from practice, tardiness or if they have to miss a game. High school athletes are encouraged to take the responsibility of notifying their Coach when they will be absent or late for a practice.
Please wait 24 hours after a contest if you would like to speak to the Coach about the contest. This time will give you the opportunity to gather your thoughts to not provoke an adverse reaction. In the best interest of your student athlete's sports development, it is important to separate game emotions. Coaches depend on a healthy parent/coach relationship to get the best out of the season and the student athletes.

It may be very difficult to accept your child not playing as much as you had hoped. Our coaches are professionals and passionate about using their sport to continue the AHCS purpose of developing leaders. They make judgment decisions based on what they believe is best for all participants. Gameplay and personnel must be left to the discretion of the coach.
Issues NOT appropriate to discuss with coaches:
Playing time.
Team strategy.
Other student athletes.
The procedure you should follow when addressing a concern with a coach:
Set up an appointment through email.
It is expected that your student athlete will be a part of the meeting. Since the focus of the meeting will be centered on your student athlete, we believe that the athlete needs to be present at the meeting. Getting all parties involved in the discussion will assist in coming up with a plan to address the issue.
If the meeting with the coach did not provide satisfactory resolution, you may call the Athletic Director to set up a meeting. At this meeting it is also expected that your child be present. This meeting will determine the next step.
-
Yes. AHCS hosts Summer Camps for certain sports. There are also camps we recommend for the different sports. Please email the Athletic Director.
