Progress reports will be out in two weeks. As a precautionary measure, I have sent out pink progress reports to several of our player to forecast their grades (The pinks are mini progress reports). Some of the players on the team have not returned the pinks back to me. I'm not going to hound the players for those pinks. I am treating them like young men and I leave it to them to be responsible enough to return those grades to me.
If they want help with their grades, we can set up tutors for them. But if they wish to ignore the pinks and ignore a potential grade that could make them ineligible, well that is the consequence they are willing to take on.
Teachers have been meeting with and e-mailing me in regards to players that are having serious problems in class. I have met with the players in question and I have met with some of the parents to inform them of the player's performance in class.
As a reminder, we emphasize our priorities in life: Faith, Family, School and then Football. Furthermore, the CIF minimum GPA is 2.0 Scholastically and in Citizenship.
If a student-athlete becomes ineligible due to grades, I WILL CUT THEM FROM THE TEAM. That is my policy and the policy of my boss, Coach Martinez. And this subject is NOT open for debate. Life is about performance. Either you meet the requirements or you don't. These are strong lessons our young men and I hope they all remain on our team.
