I know I have seen some threads on dealing with parents on here, but I have to write up a manual, to be mailed, and or given to the parents, to sign and return. What are your thoughts, and anyone already implement this? Thanks, would be very interested, bluecrazy

If you go to many school websites and click on "athletics" you can actually view some parent contracts, school mission statements and that kind of thing. you can get some really good ideas.

A contract seems like a good idea. There always seems to be one or two parents who start questioning policies and when you ask them if they attended the parents meeting, they shrug or say no.

Contracts work well in most situations especially when pertaining to the expectations of parents as spectators.
I used to have the parents sign a contract that discussed their roles as parents and not as 'coaches advisers". I don't bother with it anymore; this last year, we just sent the parents a notice detailing program policies. I didn't bother to have them sign it; it was more informative than anything else. If an issue resulted that had parents challenging policies; we had a very simple response;
"THIS IS OUR POLICY AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE IT".

Film the parents meeting. pass out dvd copies to each player so they have that and can review it at any time. Make sure you give a copy to your administrators.
