Playing time
- Playing time for our athletes is not guaranteed during tournament play.
- Playing time is a coach’s decision and it is possible that some may not play in the tournament games. We expect athletes and parents to be respectful of this policy.
Important
- The front office will not call coaches during practice to see if your child is at practice. It is up to the parent and child to establish a line of communication regarding this matter.
In closing, I hope we were able to give you a better idea of our sports program here at Walker. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to call me. If you leave me a message, I will return it promptly. You can also email me through the school website.
Thank you,
