Addtional Information 

Washington State Coaches Association Membership
Per the ECEA collective bargaining agreement, the district will pay for membership in the WSCA. Coaches will register themselves at www.WashCoach.net. You may go to this link as well (LINK). Coaches must register by October 15, 2024, assuming there is agreement between the ECEA and District. This allows time for payment to be processed and passes to be delivered for fall post-season games.

Transportation Requests
Depending on when a bus is used for extra-curricular activities, the district is charged either a non-conflicting or a conflicting rate. A conflicting rate is about double the hourly cost of a non-conflicting rate bus. This year the conflicting rate time is 4:00 p.m. This means any bus scheduled to arrive to pick up a team prior to 4:00 p.m. will cost twice as much as a bus picking up a team after 4:00 p.m. When scheduling a bus, please keep this in mind and avoid the conflicting rate when possible. However, it is more important to get your team to the contest on time so do not sacrifice team preparation.  Dani Mundell will prepare transportation requests for the middle school teams. When possible, schools will utilize a shuttle system to save money on transportation. Regardless of your school’s end time, all departure times will be the same to eliminate teams arriving at schools too early.

Fall high school requests are due to your athletic secretary by Friday, August 30th. The secretary will enter all trips into the system. Remember, IT IS THE COACH’S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE SURE ALL TRIPS ARE COVERED.

Athletic Facility Use
Complete a facility use request and submit it to your building athletic coordinator if you plan to use your facility after 5:30 p.m. weekdays or on weekends. Our supportive community will be using our facilities when we are not.

Pre-season team/parent meetings (Link)
All head coaches are required to host a pre-season parent information meeting. There are many great benefits to holding this meeting. An outline for a pre-season parent meeting is included as an attachment. Use the outline as a guide and add items for your meeting agenda. Parents want to know your plan for the program and their students, so give this important meeting the time and attention it deserves. Be sure to highlight punch cards with your parents.

Volunteer Coaches
To be a volunteer coach, the following must take place.

• Volunteers must be approved by the district BEFORE working with teams and athletes. Apply on-line
• All coaching volunteers must pass finger print screening. Current volunteers must meet the fingerprinting requirement. Costs will be reimbursed by the district.
• Meet with the building athletic director before working with teams and athletes.
• Meet WIAA coaches education requirements including first aid/CPR certification.
• Head coaches will be selective about who volunteers.
  
  

Everett Athletics Awards Night
This year’s event to honor our district’s student athletes will be held on Thursday, June 5th, at 6:30 p.m. at Jackson High School.  All middle and high school coaches are strongly encouraged to attend this event to support their athletes. The athletes appreciate the support and it builds a positive image in the community. Please dress appropriately. Do not wear shorts, blue jeans, t-shirts or hats. The honored athletes dress very well for this event. Coaches should also. 

Thank you for your effort and commitment to the student-athletes in our district. It is a great opportunity to educate our students on the important things in life. Remember that life lessons and the growth of our students takes precedence over wins and losses. Keep things in perspective. Enjoy the rest of your summer and I will see you all very soon.

Sincerely,

Dani Mundell

Director of Athletics and Activities
