Expectations for Travel Parents
Specific parent expectations include, but may not be limited to:
- Have the player to practices and games on-time
- Understand that the coach must make decisions that are best for the team
- No COACHING from sidelines (If you are instructing, your coaching). Cheering is good.
- Avoid the game reviews on the car ride home. Instead ask them if they had fun and what do you feel like eating.
- Be the example; avoid criticizing officials, players, coaches on the field. NO TOLERANCE POLICY.
- If children have questions, encourage them to talk to the coach.
- Never approach a coach with a concern immediately after a game. Wait 24 hours to allow emotions to subside.
- Communicate with coaches regarding attendance of training sessions and games.
