Parent liaisons are volunteers who support the team and coaches by facilitating communication, community, fundraising and volunteers.

What should I contact the parent liaison about?

When in doubt, parents/guardians can start with them! The liaison is your first point of contact with any team-related, schedule-related, volunteer-related, fundraising/donation-related, meet-related, or email/website/Instagram-related question. For the 2024 track and field season, your parent liaison is:

Karina Shaver
email: trackandfield@lccteams.org
cell: 858.232.4590

We are so fortunate to have so many talented and experienced track & field coaches at LCC, and are grateful to all our parent and community donors who help make it possible to have several specialty event assistant coaches in addition to the head coaches that the district funds.

What should I contact coaches about?

Athletes should submit all expected absences to their coach via Google form here 24 hours in advance, except in case of emergency. They should also speak to their coach about the expected absence in person. Absences are not considered approved until the coach approves them.

Email the event coach directly if you have a question/concern specifically about your athlete and their training program, performance, season goals, experience at practice/meets, or health/wellness/injury concerns. Ideally, communication with coaches would follow this process:

1. All discussions will begin with the athlete talking with the event coach first.
2. If the problem is not resolved, then the parent may become involved and request a meeting with the event coach and athlete present.
3. If the problem is still not resolved, then the parent and athlete should speak to both head coaches.
4. If the problem is still not resolved, then the parent and athlete may request a meeting with the athletic director, Kari DiGiulio.
