  • Do not approach a coach immediately after the conclusion of a game.
  • A meeting with the coach needs to be scheduled.
  • Encourage your student athlete to initiate conversations themselves with coaches; these are the most productive meetings that happen in athletics.
  • If you have questions about playing time, be sure to follow the coaches guidelines about approaching the topic.
  • Don’t let frustrations fester, develop a bridge of communication with the coach.
  • Keep in mind that the Athletic Director does not make player personnel decisions, that includes playing time and cuts.
  • Even when you disagree with the coaches, it is essential to try and maintain a positive attitude when speaking with your child about the team and the coaches.

Chain Of Communication

  • Make an appointment to speak with the coach.
  • If you are not satisfied and the conversation does not involve playing time or game strategy make an appointment to speak with the Athletic Director.
  • If you still need clarification make an appointment to speak with the principal.
