It is the belief of the school administration and the coaching staff that athletics can do more for your child than teach him/her to play the sport he/she has chosen. We believe athletics instills the desire to succeed, attain personal goals that insure maximum team effort, and builds strength of body and strength of character. It is our belief that strength of character is the foundation upon which to build the welldeveloped, productive individual. Athletes, as people in any specialized field, have a unique role to play. They are constantly being monitored by their peers, teachers, and the community. Being under this scrutiny, athletes must have a strong character and remain constantly aware of the role they have assumed. They must be certain they present to their peers, teachers and community the respect, sincerity and honesty expected of young ladies or gentlemen. We believe very strongly that our athletes should possess these qualities. Because of this belief, we have established the following set of guidelines to be followed by all athletes in this program. This handbook serves as a guide, but should not be considered allinclusive. Any other actions deemed inappropriate will be handled accordingly. ALL ATHLETES, REGARDLESS OF SPORT, MUST FOLLOW THESE RULES: 1) Abide by all University Interscholastic League (UIL) rule specifications and abide by local athletic policy. 2) Attend every practice session and athletic contest unless illness or emergency situations arise (The athlete or the guardian/s must notify the coach if the athlete will not attend a session. The phone number of the athletic office is 432-345-2515.) 3) At all times, respond to every situation as young ladies or gentlemen. 4) Because of our belief that winners do more than asked of them, and strive to be the best they can be, Sanderson athletes will conform to the Terrell County ISD dress code at school and all school-related activities, while abiding by the following athletic guidelines. - 4 - 2019-2020 Coaching Staff Football Head Coach – David Donnell Assistant Coaches – Jerry Garza, Sam Magallan, Stephen Thomas Volunteer Coaches – Marco Fuentez, Fernando Sanchez Cross Country Head Coach – Stephen Thomas Assistant Coach – Trisha Stannard Boys' Basketball Head Coach – Sam Magallan Assistant Coaches – David Donnell, Stephen Thomas Girls' Basketball Head Coach – Jerry Garza Assistant Coaches – Kayla Fuentez, Stephen Thomas Tennis Head Coach – Trisha Stannard Assistant Coaches – David Donnell, Stephen Thomas Tennis Head Coach – Jerry Garza Assistant Coaches – Kayla Fuentez, Sam Magallan - 5 - CONCERNS If at any time during the school year parents have concerns or questions, please contact your child's immediate coach first.
