RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK-- The
North Carolina High School Athletic Association held its spring 2008
Coach-Captain Retreat over the weekend of April 5-6, the 27th in a series of
successful events.
The
event, part of the Association’s Student Services program, was held at the
Radisson Governors Inn and attracted students from all over North Carolina.
Retreat
teams include student-athletes who will be captains or leaders of their
athletic squads in the coming year, a coach from the school and a parent
representative. They are designed to promote the concept of “teamwork.” Issues
such as leadership development, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, violence
prevention strategies and academic success are addressed at these retreats, the
first of which was held in the spring of ‘95.
The
retreats are designed to help student-athletes define leadership qualities,
identify key
issues that affect them, learn
to communicate effectively with other students and adults about these issues,
and
Coach-Captain
retreats are organized and administered by NCHSAA assistant executive director
Mark Dreibelbis and student services assistant Chiquana Dancy.
“Student
Services is the ‘value-added’ division of the NCHSAA,” said Dreibelbis. “The
Coach/Captain Retreat emphasizes the responsibility of student-athletes to take
their leadership skills and implement programs promoting positive life skills
and total development through athletics to both their school and community.
Having the opportunity to develop these initiatives and assist in their
implementation is what Student Services is all about. Our programs make a
difference and create winners for life.”
Facilitators included the following
NCHSAA Student Services Trainers: Mike Brown, retired athletic director from
the New Hanover County schools and president of B&M Associates; P.J.
Taylor, retired teacher/coach at Williamston High and former safe and drug free
schools coordinator for the Martin County Schools; Teresa Coleman, coach and
athletic director at West Bladen High School; Faye Corbin, teacher and coach at
Hope Mills South View High School;
Susan Cox, athletic director at Perquimans High School; and Coleman
Bailey, a teacher and coach at Greenville D.H. Conley High School.
Teams
always conclude their retreat experience by developing an action plan,
something that can be taken back and executed in their local school. Among the
components of the action plan are bulletin boards in the school, public service
announcements for the school intercom, a community service project, a
newsletter for student-athletes and other school/community ideas generated by
the team itself.
In
addition to the staff, there were 94 participants in the retreat, with a total
of 67 student-athletes and 27 adults attending. The adult total included 20
coaches or administrators, representing a total of 15 different schools, and
seven parents of athletes.
Teams
at the retreat represented the following schools:
Asheboro,
Greenville D. H. Conley, East Carteret, Charlotte Independence, McDowell, Mayodan
Dalton McMichael, Northampton-East, Northampton-West, Monroe Parkwood,
Perquimans, South Johnston, Hope Mills South View, West Bladen, West Brunswick,
Western Harnett.
