This week's topic - Parent/Volunteer Expectations
Please try to get your child to practice and games on time. We know this can be difficult at times and impossible at other times, but it’s really hard to conduct practice or get ready for a game when players continually show up late. If you know your child will be late or won’t be able to make it to a practice or game, please let coaches know in advance, if possible.
Help out with team volunteer opportunities. We have a number of items that require parent help.
Get involved in playing with your child. This may be helping out with at practice or playing catch in the yard on days they don’t practice. Kids love it when their parents get involved. Repetition is also crucial for skill improvement. There simply isn’t enough organized practice time for the kids. They need to work on the skills they learn at practice at home also.
Please encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and umpires at every game and practice. Please cheer for your child during games, but try to keep from yelling instructions to them. Remember this is their opportunity to enjoy playing in the game. Much of the fun is lost if their Mom or Dad is always yelling instructions or at umpires.
