Introduction
Activities and athletic programs are the foundation upon which our young people build self-esteem, self-image, self-confidence, and character. Coaches and their assistants are the crucial variable that determines whether our student’s goals and objectives will be achieved through our programs. These programs are for the students of Ben Lomond High School and not to enlarge some coach’s ego! When looking through the handbook, it may first appear to be directed only at our athletic programs. However, upon closer inspection, there should be implications for all activities at Ben Lomond High School. This handbook is meant to be a useful and helpful tool for coaches and advisors as they conduct their activities throughout the school year.
