Coaches

The Coach is the single most important component of a successful athletic program. They are the “teachers” (and fellow parents and friends) who must portray the beliefs and ideals of the PPSL and St. Charles School. Coaches must provide a motivational learning environment where positive reinforcement is the primary goal. As such, Coaches are to be given the same level of respect as given to the School Principal and Staff by students and parents alike.

All coaching candidates will be reviewed by the Sports Commissioner and Athletic Director. Final approval is required from the School Administration. Every coach (Head and Assistant) must have a completed background check (including fingerprinting) and a completed Virtus certificate on file with St. Charles Parish.  By agreeing to become a St. Charles coach, the individual agrees to attend any and all seminars or classes required by the Archdiocese or by St. Charles School.

The Sports Commissioner, Athletic Director, School Principal and St. Charles Pastor must approve any coach who applies to the St. Charles Athletics Program who is not a current parent at the school.  Non-parent coaches are required to complete the same fingerprinting and Virtus  requirements.  The program encourages participation from non-parent coaches.
