Team Meeting


Team Meeting


You should schedule a team meeting as soon as possible. Let parents know well ahead of time the date,
time and location. It is best to have the meeting at the time and place of practice. Ask ALL parents
and players to attend. This meeting is your single most important management job for the entire
season.
At this meeting you’ll need to:
♦ Introduce yourself, your coaching style and your goals to the players and parents.
♦ Establish your authority as coach. Tell players and parents what you expect from each of them all season. Remind
them of the Parent’s Code of Conduct.
♦ Set the tone for how you expect players to act toward coaches, referees and each other.
♦ Establish practice schedules and routines.
♦ Let parents know to show up 30 min prior to the games to help set up goals and after the last game to put them down. ♦ Let parents know to show up 30 min prior to the games to help set up goals and after the last game to put them down.
