At the HS level parents aren't totally discouraged from hanging around. Our coach has a side to him that resembles Jerry Lewis at a telethon. You may find you don't want to get too close to coaches when they get into a fund raising mode.

Yeah, I always figured non-players should never be in the dugout, and certainly never sit of the bench. That place is earned.

One more general rule: at freshman tryouts, don't explain to the other parents (or coach for gawd's sake!) that you expect that your son should really be playing JV or Varsity. Heard two parents saying that last year. Neither's kid was very good.
