Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How will I found out about
practice and game times?
A: For the
most part all game and practice locations and times are posted on the SRHS Men’s
Water Polo Web site which can be found at http://sandi.net/srhs/aquatics/mens/index.htm.
In the event that a change should occur an email will be sent to your email
address. If it is a last minute change each team captain will notify his
specific group and a general email will still be sent to your email address.
Q: Tournament times and
locations?
A: Throughout
the season, the men’s water polo team will partake in an array of local
tournaments. Tentative schedules are posted, however sometimes we don’t get a
confirmed schedule until a few days before the actual tournament. It is the goal
of the program to keep you abreast of this information as it comes to us.
Q: How does my son get out of class
if they need to leave for a game or tournament?
A: The coach
will issue a pass on the morning of the specific day athletes will need to leave
school early and will result in missing classroom time. Students are to check
with their teacher prior to leaving about any assignments or notes they will
miss and make arrangements with the teacher or peer to get all of the necessary
information they may miss.
Q: How is 6th period P.E. handled
since the water polo team has to travel to their practice location?
A: Athletes
may leave school AFTER lunch on 6th period days. They will receive a sticker to
put on their ID cards. Do not call in blue slips for them to leave earlier than
the end of the lunch period. [Blue slips aren’t required are they? That is what
the sticker is for.
Q: Who do I contact about getting
my email on the SRHS Men’s Water Polo email tree?
A: You would
need to contact the team’s communications chair and give them the email you want
water polo information set to. In the event that you change your email address
you need to contact this person so that you can continue to stay in the
informational loop. If you wish to have your email removed you need to contact
the communications chair too.
Q: Who do I contact about
equipment?
A: Equipment
orders will be placed at the parent meeting before the season starts. For
additional equipment needs, please speak to the Equipment Chair about your
athlete’s swim suit, pool bag, towel, parka, and other team equipment.
Q: What if I have a question about
dues?
A: If a
question should ever arise about paying dues to the program please contact the
SRHS Men’s Water Polo Treasurer.
Q: Why are dues requested?
A: SDUSD
partially funds this program. Dues are needed for our program to pay for much of
the additional costs. We can only ask for dues as they are not mandatory;
however without them our program would not function at its current level.
Q: Who is responsible for the team
rosters?
A: Each team;
Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Novice has a specific coach. In the beginning of
each season the coaches create the teams based on the athlete’s knowledge of the
game, ability, commitment, and desire. If you should have a question about this
please do the following:
1. Have player talk to the coach.
2. Have parent talk to coach.
3. Parent, player and coach meet with Athletic Director and/or VP of Athletics.
4. Contact VP of Athletics directly.
Q: What if an issue arises between
two or more athletes?
A: At the
beginning of each season all athletes are required to turn in a medical form,
Student/Athlete Agreement, and Ethics in Sports. By signing these forms they
agree to abide by all terms. If an athlete fails to comply, then the SDUSD
handles all appropriate consequences. If an athlete has issues please take the
following steps:
1. Have player talk to the coach.
2. Have parent talk to coach.
3. Parent, player and coach meet with Athletic Director and/or VP of Athletics.
4. Contact VP of Athletics directly.
5. Contact Principal.
Q: What if an issue arises between
my son and the coach?
A: While this
is something we wish never to see, sometimes an issue arises between an athlete
and their coach. If your son has concerns please do the following,
1. Have player talk to the coach.
2. Have parent talk to coach.
3. Parent, player and coach meet with Athletic Director and/or VP of Athletics.
4. Contact VP of Athletics directly.
5. Contact Principal.
Q: What if my son cannot
attend a practice, a game, and or a tournament?
A: Coaches
expect that all athletes take the responsibility of contacting their coach. It
is their responsibility to call and talk to the coach or speak to James Tiffany
at school as soon as they know about not being able to attend any practices,
games, or tournaments.
Q: What if my athlete suffers an
injury or illness and cannot attend practice, games, and or tournaments?
A: All
athletes are part of a team and even if they cannot get into the pool because of
an injury or illness they are still expected to be on deck with the team. Unless
the parent and athlete have spoken to their son’s coach about not being able to
be on deck, coaches will expect your son to be there. The lesson here is team
spirit and comradely amongst players.
Q: What if it seems like our son
is not getting a lot of game time?
A: Playing
time will be determined by the coach. Coaches will not discuss playing time with
parents. This must first be brought up by the player.
Q: What if I just have a general
question about water polo?
A: Contact
the SRHS Men’s Water Polo President.
