There s no substitute for a good team parent. There will be a meeting for all team parents before the start of the season. We suggest that each team have a primary team parent and another parent who can assist so that responsibility can be shared. The team parent is responsible for the following:
-
Creating (or assisting girls in creating) a team banner for the contest on opening day.
-
Creating a snack schedule for after games.
-
Ensuring that a female over the age of 18 is present at all functions.
-
Communicating with parents about all upcoming events.
-
Assist in dugout, to keep order, assist with the lineup and equipment. Make sure girls remain in the dugout during the game and not off visiting family or friends between innings. Make sure girls have water for hydration.
-
Making sure that girls going to the restroom or accounted and/or supervised.
-
Ordering trophies and thank you plaques for manager and coaching staff or other items your team agrees upon.
-
Preparing end of the season party.
