Working With Your Coaches

Working With Your Coaches

It is part of the coach’s job to guide you along in this process of being a captain’s parent. They should meet with you about 6 months prior to the season to discuss and decide what jobs would be most helpful to them.

You need not be an advocate between other parents and the coach. If you encounter parents who complain to you about something the coach is doing, you should encourage them to talk to the coach.
