Practices

Question: How often am I to hold practices?
Answer: Competitive teams are required to have a minimum of three practices every week where they practice or play games. Once the season begins two of those days may be game days.

Question: Who should I contact if my team will not practice on the field or in the gym?

Answer: Contact Coach Regan if you will not be in your normal area (due to weather), you are off campus, or if you cancel practice. This way if there are any questions, the AD will be informed.

Equipment and Uniforms

Question: Where do I pick up my equipment and uniforms?
Answer: All competitive coaches will see Coach Regan in the PE Office for equipment. Uniforms for competitive teams will be checked out a few days prior to the first game.

Question: What do I do with the uniforms after each game?

Answer: Coaches will place the bag of uniforms in the laundry room or in the shed under the bleachers.

Question: Can I give equipment or uniforms to players to take home?
Answer: No coaches may give uniforms or equipment to students to take home. Coaches will hand out and collect uniforms after every game. Lost uniforms or equipment, for whatever reason, will be deducted from coach pay (see below).

Player Grades

Question: When will coaches find out if players are eligible/ineligible?
Answer: Each player will be grade checked by the AD every Monday to see if they meet the required expectation of a 'D' in every class. If a player has a grade that is an 'F" the player is ineligible to play in games that week until their grades returns to expectation. If they have an 'F' they may practice. They are also expected to attend games but not in uniform.

Question: What do the ineligible players do?
Answer: If a player has an 'F' on the portal, they may not attend practices or games. They must go to tutoring or go home and make up their work to a passing grade of a 'D' or higher.

Question: When can a player become eligible again?
Answer: Any player who is ineligible (F) may speak with Athletic Director at any time to show their grade has improved. Players may not just see their coach. If the AD (Coach Regan) is unavailable the player may see the Admin (Dr. Justine Pilar) to show all grades are a 'D' or above.

Evaluations

Question: Will I be evaluated during my time as a coach?
Answer: Yes. Each position is a year-to-year hire. If at any time administration and/or the AD feel the program is not going the correct direction, the coach is not improving the students and/or there issues with their leadership a coach may be asked not to return. The AD and/or Administration will be attending both games and practices see how the coach manages players, practices, games, and other activities which go on during the season to get an idea of how things are shaping up, from their perspective. You should consider such things as ineligible/eligible players, being on time for practices, holding expected number of practices, following through with information in parent letters, and supervision of players, etc.

Question: How do I have a good evaluation?

Answer: As intramural coaches your goal is to improve the fundamental skills, the athleticism, the mental knowledge of the players participating, and to encourage the players to have fun as they participate in the Taylor intramural sports program. This will be accomplished by attending the coaches meeting at the beginning of each season, through organized and well thought out and properly constructed and supervised practices that challenge the players - no matter their level of ability. It is also earned through proper contact and communication with the AD and administration which includes but is not limited to contact regarding injuries, reporting game results, making sure to see player's parents before allowing them to leave away games, have well-thought out practice plans, acceptable game conduct and interaction with officials, parents, players, and opponents. Remember, we can all improve on one thing or another.

Question: Does the evaluation have anything to do with whether I will be invited back next year?
Answer: Returning coaches will be determined by the Administration and the AD. Again, all coaches are one year hires and changes may occur based on numerous circumstances.

Coach Pay

Question: How do I get paid?
Answer: All equipment and uniforms must be returned to Coach Regan and keys and shirts must be returned to Jessica Hoffman at the end of each season. Until these are completed, payment can not be approved/submitted.

Question: What happens if equipment or uniforms checked out to me are not returned?
Answer: Any items missing, at the time of turn in, will be deducted from your pay. Each uniform costs $100 to replace and equipment prices will vary. The minimum amount for equipment replacement is $25.

Question: How much do coaches get paid?
Answer: All competitive coaches will be paid $750. For wrestling and cross country if extra players sign up - you may receive another $500.

Question: After I turn in the equipment and checked off how long will it take to get paid?
Answer: Typically it takes 4-6 weeks (2 paycheck cycles). Sometimes it takes less but do not plan on the lower number. It must go from Taylor, to the district, and then to the school board for approval. All places may take up to a week so that stretches out the time frame. We have little to do with the process after you have been checked off. The only thing that can help is based on how soon you are cleared for turning in all equipment, uniforms, keys and shirts to Coach Regan/Jessica Hoffman.
