Hi all

For those of you who are interested – and thank you all for your input, it was appreciated – there has been an update with the ‘parents as coaches’ situation within my Club.  I wrote to my President stating my concerns with her bringing in such a policy and noted that this should be a generic coaching problem and not just a parent coach problem.  I requested to her that if she is to pursue such a policy for our Club could she please let families know by Club sign on day so we know what we are dealing with.  Well Club sign-on day is this Sunday and I have just received a response which basically says (in a round-a-bout way) that there will be no such policy (good) BUT she then went on to say it is up to the Club as to who coaches what team and such a decision will not be made until AFTER sign on day.  She will not say to me whether I can coach my daughter this season.  For you info.
