Our Coaching Philosophy
1.) Priorities.
Ø The student’s personal growth is more important than winning.
Ø Good sportsmanship is more important than defeating an opponent.
Ø Encouraging open minded thinking is more important than promoting any particular political or social philosophy.
2.) Mentoring.
Ø The coach’s role is to provide guidance, advice and constructive critique.
Ø Student mentoring of other students is encouraged.
Ø Except where the material is inappropriate, the student has the final say in piece selection, piece performance and argument development.
3.) Atmosphere.
Ø Students stretch their comfort levels by performing material at or beyond their current skill levels.
Ø Students freely explore, and suspend preconceived notions on, social, philosophical and political issues of the day.
Ø Students are courteous and respectful towards teammates, other participants, coaches, drivers, judges and timers.
Ø Students compete according to the rules.
Ø Students prepare for their events, show up on time and clean up after themselves.
Ø Students enjoy the satisfaction attained from a performance well done, regardless of the outcome.
Our Fundraising Philosophy 1.) Sustainability. Ø “Forward funding” provides the program with the greatest opportunity for financial stability.
Ø Operating expenses should be funded primarily by sources that can be relied upon each year.
Ø Private donations are accepted gratefully but solicited sparingly.
Ø The school district should not be relied upon for operating funds.
2.) Personal responsibility.
Ø Parents and students should bear principal responsibility for funding the program.
Ø Families with limited means should be given the opportunity to pay activity fees and trip costs over time.
Ø Partial payment should be emphasized over non-payment. Ø No student will be turned away for lack of money.
Ø Students unable to pay all fees may be linked with local business sponsors or given an opportunity to earn fees through employment.
3.) Methodology.
Ø “High maintenance” fundraising efforts should be avoided.
Ø The number of fundraising activities should be limited.
Ø Where appropriate, fundraising activities should feature or involve students.
