We all want to see our daughters achieve their goals and succeed on the field. But, this game is about teamwork, roles and team success. Therefore, your daughter will be placed in those roles for the best of the team.
The season is very long and every player will play her share over the length of the year. But, there will games that she may not play the whole game or even any of the game. We want to hear your concerns but you need to understand that there is zero tolerance for complaining to a coach about playing time or engaging in conversations that are detrimental to the team. Please convey your concerns in a mature and respectful manner pursuant to the expectations below.
We highly value our time with your daughter and we understand the amount of time and work it takes for the team to do well. The coaching staff refuses to take payment for this time we spend with your daughter as other coaches at this level may do. Therefore, we are all volunteers.
We also understand that we either have or are developing close friendships, and we would hate to lose a friendship over some meaningless game or position. Therefore, we ask all parents to be mature about the responsibility as we move forward.
Please don’t ever do anything that might embarrass your daughter.
Our expectations of the player's parents are:
- There should be no conversations about positions or playing time from anyone.
- Providing instruction from the stands is strictly prohibited.
- Please refrain from talking to your daughter during the game, allow her to focus on the task at hand.
- Please be on time and ready to go for each practice and game. If you are arriving at the time listed, you are late! Our girls cannot drive (yet!) so this is the parent’s responsibility but the players are the ones who will be held accountable.
- Please give all coaches a 24 hour cooling off period after your issue to speak to them about that issue.
- We need your help in many areas. – Please be involved. This is your team, too.
- We will communicate with everyone, but please understand that our primary relationship is with the players and we would rather communicate directly with the players first as they begin to gain the responsibilities of being a young adult.
