  • Please be sure to adhere to this chain of concern regarding any issues that may occur during the season. The coaching staff is here to help the athletes at all times. If a problem arises, please follow these steps in the order they are given, as per the Lancaster Athletic Administration.

    Chain of Concern  

    We believe that participation in athletics provides the opportunity for developing skills which will help the student-athletes become well-rounded individuals capable of making decisions and handling problems that will benefit them throughout their lives. This procedure is to be used for all teams (Modified, Freshmen, JV and Varsity.) The goal is to give the student-athletes, parents and coaches a way to resolve concerns positively and timely.

    Procedure will be:

    1. The student-athlete’s first contact should be to the coach.

    2. If unresolved, the parent/guardian should contact the coach.

    3. If concern remains unresolved, the student-athlete or parent/guardian should contact the Athletic Director.

    4. If you have not resolved your concern, the parent/guardian should contact their child’s building administrator.
