Thoughts for PARENTS

• Encourage your child to participate for the enjoyment of athletics
![Page 14: JAMES W. ROBINSON SECONDARY SCHOOL PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT FALL 2015.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e565503460f94b4e385/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• How many parents played high school sports?• How many parents played college sports?• Scholarships (Dr. Greg Dale – Duke University)
• 95% of athletes will not receive one.• 65% of athletes are non Division 1• Your athlete has a better chance of getting an
academic scholarship.• If you do receive a scholarship the avg is
$10,000 over 4 years.• Ex. Soccer 9.9

Commitment to the program/teamCommunication:
We do not discuss playing time/strategyAny concerns must first be addressed by the player.
Athletes do not control playing time• They control effort, attitude and what kind
of teammate they are. We ask that parents not contact opposing schools directly with any concerns. Please contact us first.

Assumption Of Risk
• There is inherent risk of injury in all sports• Not all injuries can be prevented• Even catastrophic injuries can occur in
any sport• A comprehensive Athletic Training health
care program has proven to influence a reduction in the severity of injury and prevalence of re-injury.

As you see, the list goes on and on. Approximately 1,200 athletes use the equipment and facilities each year, so through normal wear and tear, these need to be replaced or upgraded.
New pads

In addition to maintaining our annual current level of commitment, the Athletic Boosters have embarked on a long term plan which will improve the facilities of Robinson Secondary. Many of these upgrades will provide additional opportunities to raise funds for our students, athletes and community use groups.
