You must delegate the workload.

Coaching is a lot of work. Engage your team parents!
Coaching and raising children “takes a village.” Your team’s “village” is the parents. A Coach should rely on parents to ensure the best possible experience for your players.

Communication is key.

Recommended ways to communicate with your village:

• SSI Play App
• Email
• Phone – calling or texting
• Private Facebook group for the par­ents only. 

Recommended roles for team parents to manage: 

• Help the coach with mak­ing sure all the play­ers have the required forms filled out.
• Assist with organizing or executing drills at practices.
• It is not manda­to­ry, but most teams opt to have snacks after a game. If your team does this, have a parent manage the snack schedule. 
  • Ask the chil­dren or their par­ents about food allergies.
• Take pic­tures dur­ing prac­tice to share with the team through text, email, or a Facebook group.
• Help the coach make sure the play­ers have all their uni­forms and prop­er equip­ment for prac­tices and game days.
