......Also, I forgot to mention this . There are historically three types of HS programs :
1) The Coach runs it
2) The Parents run it.
3) The Players run it.
If you want a program that YOU run. The parents are to be seen but not heard. Our coach held a mandatory meeting for parents once a year. He spelled out for us clearly but also politely that he would not tolerate in input from Parents regarding playing time, position played , Batting order spot or any other madness that most HS parents try to chime in about.
The only time you should hear from parents is if it involves the following :
1) Fundraising
2) Player health issues
3) Player academic issues
You will in fact need a team mom. Or I suppose the politically correct term now is ' Parent Administrative Facilitator' . This is important. You feed all game times, Practice schedules, Fundraising events to this person and THEY email the Parents. You should never Email these things . The parents are responsible for themselves just like the players.
Saw your pics. Field looks more than workable. A lot of fencing to sell banner Ads.
Just a tip , Go the Art Dept on Campus and the Art students, teacher get the paint and your players on THIS ( See pic ) right away. It builds school pride and team pride if the dugout is nice. It also sends a message to your opponent that they are VISITORS in YOUR HOUSE. It's a very inexpensive way to Improve your Culture
