Once Your Team Has Been Established...
STEP 1: Contact your players as
soon as possible to make them aware of your first practice & game location,
date, and time.
STEP 2: Schedule a team meeting
during the first practice with all parents and players (see below for details).
What to Discuss at the Team
Meeting:
-
Introductions
-
Your goals as coach for the season
-
Establishment of any assistant coaches needed
-
Establish a designated team "Mom" or "Dad" to organize events such as
uniform distribution, banquet organization, and a calling tree in case of
schedule changes. (Recommendation: Use a group e-mail list to communicate
information to team members between practices)
-
Discuss practice and game time guidelines (Arrive at practice at least 5
minutes prior to start, be ready to pick up child before the end of
practice, arrive at game 15 minutes prior to game time).
-
Never leave the field until you have personally seen each of your players
with their parent or guardian.
