To kick off information sharing its worth at this time of the year discussing how we communicate with the parents how we are going to run the squad for the season ahead.
The Level 1 course suggests we have a parents meeting, when I first started the team I had a brief chat with the parents after the initial game to cover this.
This was ok but has the downside that people can forget what is said etc as the season goes by
and it is unlikely everyone will be there.
I therefore built on what Andy Bryant did a couple of seasons ago and now write to the parents with the details of how I intend to select the team, objectives for the season, expected behaviour from the squad and the parents etc.
If any of you want to see the em I send out let me know and I will e mail it to you.
What do the rest of you do re comms with the parents before the season starts?
Anything that works well that the rest of us could implement?

I have sent an email in the past (based on yours, Rob - thanks). I don't have any new players this year and expect to do the same as last year, so in two minds about whether to bother - I probably will send a brief reminder. I struggle to get all the kids in one plave at once, never mind the parents!
