Parent Coach Relationships

Both parenting and coaching are extremely difficult vocations. By establishing an understanding of each position, we are better able to accept the actions of the others and provide greater benefits to the student. As parents, when your children become involved in our programs, you have a right to understand what expectations are placed on your child. This begins with clear communication from the coach of your child’s program.

Procedure Parent Should Use to Bring Concern to Coach

1. Call to set up an appointment with the coach.
2. Please do NOT confront a coach before or after a contest. These can be emotional times for both the parent and the coach. Meetings of this nature do not usually promote resolution.

Procedure Parent Should Use if Meeting with Coach did not Provide Satisfactory Resolution
