- If you have a question or concern, please take the time to think about what your question is. If it ultimately has to do with playing time or game strategy, please wait 24 hours before approaching the coach.
- If appropriate, talk with your son/daughter about your questions. What is your child’s perspective? Can your child solve the problem? Encourage them to try.
- Set up a meeting with the coach if you still have questions. These should be an informational meeting where you ask questions, listen, and have a discussion.
- If questions remain, set-up a meeting with the correct board members, coach, and yourself.
Meeting Guidelines
- Meetings must not occur on game days, but rather by appointment.
- Conversations must be in a professional manner with regard to both language and conduct.
- Everyone gets a chance to talk, but everyone must listen as well

Guidelines for Appropriate Questions
