When you guys make a program manual, what do you think are the most important aspects to have in? How long do you think it ought to be? Any help and advice is welcome. I thank you all for your advice, wisdom, and professionalism! Have a good one!

Our manual is 20 pages and it is primarily a guide for parents. Where the games are played, times, places to eat before or after games etc...
But most importantly it is the behavioral expectations for the athletes and parents. When kids won't get to play and why, how parents will be contacted and who they can contact.

I had decided about 2 years ago that I was going to go away from having a program manual. I have one and put a lot of work into it but I started thinking that the work ingrained my answers and beliefs into my head where I could talk forever on it and have whatever answers without having it in front of me. My question is, was I too soon in dropping it? Are they making a comeback or never really left?

That's a good question, because like yourself in front of a committee I never have used mine, but as a resource. I'm just getting into interviewing for head jobs, so this is a good question, because if they are not, its a lot of time and paper wasted.

I feel like it is kind of an arms race. Coaches have them because if the panel is interviewing 10 guys, 9 will have it so you should too.
I've interviewed a few times and I'll usually send it ahead of the interview. I've only ever had 1 panel actually look at it.
