There are situations that may require a conference between the parent and the coach. These conferences are encouraged. It is important that both parties involved have a clear understanding of the other’s position. When conferences are necessary, the following procedure should be followed to help promote a resolution to the issue of concern.

1. Concerns expressed directly to the coach.
2. Notification of any schedule conflicts well in advance.
3. Specific concerns in regard to a coach’s philosophy and/or expectations.
