The administration at MCS would like to support all coaches in obtaining the necessary coaching certification levels that they need to be successful. Coaches may consist of teachers, who are members of the MCS Athletics Committee and/or volunteers in the community.

  • All coaches must be certified in 701 as well as provide the school administration with a Criminal Record Check. In addition, coaches must adhere and comply with the volunteer package set out by the district.
  • Coaches must incorporate a minimum of two communicated tryouts before any cuts are made. If a coach decides to post a list of players who were successful in making the team, that will be posted on the bulletin board outside of the gymnasium.
  • Scheduling of practices are done by the coaches and games are scheduled by the athletics director. Please communicate with the AD any requests you may have and work with all parties involved to create a schedule that works for everyone. There are to be no practices or games if school is cancelled, on or off campus. Players and parents will enter and exit the school using the side door (after hours) entrance.
  • Coaches are responsible for submitting a list to the office that indicates the players and their jersey number. This will be done prior to the first game, so the office can input the names into SchoolCashOnline to collect player fees.
  • Coaches must provide their contact information to the school, so they can be reached at any time in case if emergency or cancellation.
  • Coaches are responsible for cancelling any games or practices in plenty of time for necessary changes in travel plans for all involved. With that being said, the administration determines if the facility (MCS) is open or closed.  If the building is closed, games and practices are automatically cancelled. If a team is travelling over the weekend, it is up to the discretion of the coach in conjunction with the school administration whether the team can travel home.
  • All Fees are laid out in this Handbook.  Fees must be paid before any player is given a uniform. Fees can be collected here at the school using SchoolCashOnline and/or paid in cash to the coach, who will submit the money and form to the office.
  • If there are both boys and girls’ teams in any of the sports being offered at MCS, students will be required to tryout for the team of the gender that they identify with. If the sport is not being offered at MCS in both boys and girls, then students are permitted to tryout with the opposite gender team.
  • Any player who wants to tryout or practice for a MCS team must be a student at Meduxnekeag.
  • Playing Time
    • Volleyball – Must follow the “Fair Play” Rules set out by VNB.
    • Basketball
      • NW League Play all players play a minimum of 8 mins/game.
      • All other games, all players play a minimum of 4 mins/game.
    • Soccer – All Players must play a minimum of 10 minutes a game.
  • No coach shall recruit any student to move or attend a school to play sports or have knowledge of any student or parent doing so. No coach shall enlist other individuals to recruit students on their behalf.
  • As role models for student athletes, coaches must conduct themselves in a manner that will facilitate teaching desired outcomes to student participants.
  • The coach will strive to set an example of the highest ethical and moral conduct with the student athlete, officials, athletic directors, school administrators, the media, and the public.
  • The coach will respect and support contest officials by avoiding conduct which will incite players or spectators against the officials.
  • The coach will promote good sportsmanship of team members.
