It has come to our attention that parent basketball coaches have been told they will no longer be coaching our children. We ask the Athletic Committee to please reconsider their position.
These parent coaches have volunteered their time over countless seasons. Please sign this petition and Save Our Parent Coaches!

im still waiting for an actual response from the athletic committee but the silence is pretty telling. reading through all your stories about how much these coaches mean to the kids is keeping me going so please keep them coming.

i honestly cant believe how fast this is growing. seeing so many parents get behind our coaches made my day and shows that the school needs to pay attention.

Not the time to disenfranchise parent coaches at QPA. After school sport programs coached by volunteer parents are what make Catholic schools unique and exceptional for all involved. Let the parents coach on!!
My husband has given countless hours to coach QPA sports teams during the past 12 years, and for him and other parent coaches to be removed via text message without any further explanation is both illogical and disturbing.
How can parent coaches not be allowed at elementary/middle school level? The majority of local elementary, middle and high schools all have parent coaches. Not sure the logic if this is true? Really disappointing.
Hi Anonymous, I don't see any slanderous comments or hurtful words in any of the previous posts. What were you specifically referring to? Maybe I missed something. By the way, it's whether, not weather.
Chris is awesome.
Has anyone called the school office to verify weather this is a true statement, before commenting or slandering the Academy, where my child enjoys a great education. Please know your hurtful words cannot be taken back!
This decision is disappointing. I am sad for the children who enjoy spending more time with their parent playing a sport that they love. I am also sad for the parents who were looking forward to building more memories with their child. This one decision goes beyond basketball. Think of the other sports and those parent coaches who now may be asked to step down. So very sad.

I've had 3 kids at QOPA and have had experience with many coaches through the years. Their interaction with Chris Fisher was consistently positive. They always felt he was interested and helpful to them as well as approachable & professional. He communicated clearly with parents and kept us aware of whatever we needed to know. I strongly encourage QOP to not try to fix that which is not broken. The children's best interests should supersede any adult issues as it is the children that matter most and Chris Fisher is a stable, reliable, qualified coach and healthy role model.
