Lovett coaches have received much recognition, including Girls Soccer Coach of the Year, Boys Lacrosse Coach of the Year, Football Coach of the Year, Volleyball Coach of the Year, Cross Country Coach of the Year, Wrestling Coach of the Year, Baseball Coach of ­the Year, and other organizations.

All Lovett athletic programs are governed by the rules and regulations of the Georgia High School Association (GHSA). It is the responsibility of each coach, and especially each head varsity coach, to see that all rules and regulations are followed at all times.

Lovett will seek to hire experienced coaches whenever possible and will first look to the hiring of faculty/staff coaches and second to the hiring of community coaches. It is a GHSA requirement for community coaches to be certified under the GHSA Community Coach Certification Program. It is highly recommended that all Middle School level community coaches receive this certification as well. Lovett coaches are required to attend a GHSA Rules Clinic for their sport each year.

Each coach shall demonstrate a professional manner, presenting a positive role model to athletes, parents, and the community as a whole.
