How do some of you involve the community in your program?

I feel that first we must involve the Program in the community! We do a community service project in our town every year. We let the township board decide what needs to be done and then we make it happen. It seems that all to often teams are asking ofr this to be donated or for these peopel to give support to the program but then never give back to the community that they are taking from. Since we started this 3 years ago the community involvement has shot through the roof. Just my .02

a coach i worked with did a dad's night on monday nights during the season.....
he would invite dads, order a few pizzas, and share some opponent game films with them.....
he said it was a success......he would show them some film and offer them a basic explanation of what his game plan was......not offering anything that would give away secrets, but kinda telling them what he wanted them to hear......
he said it made for a more quiet peanut gallery during the games, and more often than not they usually had a better understanding of personnel changes when little johnny couldn't keep up with the opponents slot receiver on a motorcycle, the dad didn't come to the coach's office screaming profanities.....he knew that a personnel change was made to put a faster kid in that position....
i personally didn't like the idea, but i do think it's interesting......i guess you keep your friends close and your enemies closer.......

I always thought of doing this on Monday nights to show the previous weeks game with explanations from the OC or DC but I'm sure if it would fit into the schedule of the week or if it is practical.

I have always enjoyed involving the parents and community to support our program. Some things we do:
1. Annual Mom's night with Mom's & Coaches, includes, food, drinks, game film breakdown of their son's positions and game planning, and we also take them out on the field.
2. Annual Dad's night, includes dinner/drinks, lots of stories and good times
3. Regular community service events we do for free either all or portions of the team
4. I also go the home's of each player and visit with the Parents/families to get to know them 45 minutes to an Hour each.
