An important element for the enjoyment and success of any season is the wonderful support and help from the team’s parents. The best system from previous seasons, indicate a Team Coordinator (TM) to plan, organize and delegate tasks within the team. The Head Coach with the General Manager will advise the TM of the various tasks required for the season. The TM will assign various representatives for those tasks. The representative will organize and assign parents to the task. It is the responsibility of the parent to find replacements if they cannot fulfill their duties. If a parent is missing their duties, the protocol will be a warning issued by the Wildcats VC. If the duties are still being missed, a reasonable fine will be administered for the team fund.

1. Parents are prohibited inside the gym, but are encouraged to watch from the viewing area during team practices. For safety and insurance reasons, only coaches/staff are permitted inside the gym. 2. If the player is unable to attend a practice or tournament or function, the parent or player must give reasonable advance notice to the coach. 3. Parents are encouraged to support the team in a positive manner. We ask parents to cheer our team, but in a respectful manner to all. We ask all parents to refrain from making any comments to the opposing team’s parents/player/coach and especially to the officials. 4. To keep consistency within the team system and performance, parents are asked to refrain from instructing the player’s skills technique or strategy within the team. The parents are welcomed to discuss their observations with the coach but sideline parent coaching is discouraged within the team. 5. Positive laughter and smiles are encouraged within the club; let’s make it a positive experience. 6. Communication is encouraged; please speak to the Team Coordinator or the Coach.
