Parent Information
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
Communication and parental involvement are crucial to a successful experience for your son /daughter. Please feel free to talk to your child's head coach or any coach regarding any concerns you may have, but please do so before or after practice, or by phone or email. Coaches should not be distracted during practice or during a game. Player’s safety would be compromised if a coach left his/her duties to talk to a parent. You are of course welcome, and in fact encouraged to watch your son/daughter practice. It means a great deal to them to see your interest. It is particularly hoped that you will attend as many games as possible. Many of our opponents, particularly the more successful ones have large contingents of enthusiastic parents at the games. I cannot help but believe that this is an important element in their success.
One of the reasons we have had successful seasons over the last few years is the involvement of a large number of parents in the role of assistant coaches, team managers, duty personnel and other miscellaneous jobs related to the running of our teams This year we are in particular need of volunteer help in all areas of our program. If you wish to help, in any capacity, please make your team's head coach aware of your interest. Your help would be more than appreciated.
For your information, duty positions during games include timekeeping and handling the down markers. Training will be provided. We are responsible for handling all duty positions at home games and are expected to have at least one person to help at away games. Again your help will be greatly appreciated and will help insure a successful season.
Would you be willing to help SWFA in any capacity? We need your expertise.
