Parent Meetings

As we prepare our teams to get ready for the upcoming season, there are number of things to do on our "to-do" lists. One item that we have every year is parent meetings. This is extremely beneficial to communicate expectations of coaches, parents and players. Many potential problems can be put to rest right away before the season starts if appropriately presented at the parent meeting.
Here is a list of items that we have gone through in the past with our parents.

1. Reading of Parent Pack
2. Introductions of coaching staff.
3. Being a part of the Titans Girls Basketball Program
4. Physicals
5. Activities Handbook
6. Once the season begins, you may not be a part of another basketball team, such as Y ball or Traveling Teams.
7. Coaching philosophy and expectations for the year
8. Practice attendance and expectations (excused and unexcused absences), and protocol if player is going to miss practice
9. Playing time
10. Academic expectations
11. Appropriate way to handle conflicts
12. Seniors last game (how that will go and what to expect)
13. Question and answer session

It is definitely not going to fix every problem, but it does help communicate expectations.
