Parents of Student Athletes Meeting Tomorrow!
Dear Gator Families and Fans,

One of the core fundamentals of successful athletic seasons is the continuous support of our parents and community.

The first step to ensuring a successful athletic season is for each parent/guardian and student-athlete to review the Glades Day School Athletic Handbook. This handbook can be accessed on our school website and app or by clicking the button below.

This year, we are launching the Parents of Student Athletes (POSA) Program. All parents/guardians of a student participating in a sport are members of this organization and are expected to fulfill the responsibilities outlined below.

  • Attend the scheduled POSA Meetings:
  • Each August, there will be a kick-off welcome meeting.
  • Each January, there will be a mid-year meeting.
  • Any parent/guardian interested in their students participating in a sport is welcome to attend to learn more about our athletic programs.

  • Complete a minimum of two volunteer sessions per season. This includes but is not limited to: ticket booth, concession stand, team luncheons, and team snacks/drinks. Volunteer opportunities will be available via SignUp Genius.

  • Assist their student-athlete in fundraising for the Gator Athletic fundraisers as set by the Athletic Director. Fundraising opportunities are outlined in the Athletic Handbook and will be further discussed at the POSA Meetings.

  • Assist in establishing relationships with local businesses to support the Gator Athletic department. Advertising opportunities are detailed below.

  • Donate to end-of-the-season coaches' appreciation gifts.

  • Parents of senior student-athletes will attend senior recognition night. See Senior Athletes in the Athletic Handbook.

This year's kick-off welcome meeting will be held tomorrow,
Thursday, August 11th, at 6:00 pm
following the 6th-12th Grade Back-to-School Orientation.

Prior to the first day of school on August 15th, all parents of student-athletes are requested to complete the POSA Information Form via Google Forms by clicking here or the button below.

We look forward to seeing all POSAs Thursday!

I truly appreciate your dedication to Glades Day School Athletics. We could not do it with you!

GO GATORS!
