3. Mail the copy of your Driver's License to: Handout: Volunteer What is a Parent Meeting?
The meeting should be held about 2 weeks prior to the first practice. The meeting should be a requirement for all parents. Express your goals of the practices and games. Establish agreed upon days and times for practice, and remind them that players should arrive for games about 30 minutes prior to game time for warming up. It is a good idea to create a short letter or overview that outlines the things you want to cover. The letter is also an opportunity for you, as a manager and coach, to establish the upcoming season's guidelines and convey them to the parents. Take some time to discuss the letter and answer any concerns. This is an important first step in establishing a good relationship with the parents.

The Palm Coast Little League has become a NYSCA Chapter. What does that mean if you are a coach or want to help our coaching? The NYSCA program provides volunteer youth coaches with valuable information on the psychology of coaching children, first aid, safety, how to organize fun and interesting practices, maximizing athletic performance, tips on teaching sports techniques, how to help children avoid drugs, tobacco and alcohol, as well as many other important areas. To become an NYSCA member coaches must pass a written test on the material presented during the clinic and sign the Coaches Code of Ethics pledge, which stresses the importance of placing the emotional and physical well-being of players ahead of any personal desire to win, among other important points. NYSCA coaches receive four issues of the Youth Sports Journal, a publication that provides coaches with valuable information on all aspects of youth sports coaching; a $1 million excess liability insurance policy; and theyre eligible for the prestigious National Volunteer Youth Coach of the Year award. More than 1.8 million volunteer youth coaches have been trained by NYSCA through its 2,200 chapters that exist nationwide. The NYSCA training program is one of many programs of the National Alliance For Youth Sports, a nonprofit organization that works to provide safe and fun sports for Americas youth. The cost of the clinic is $20. For more information, or to register, contact Michael Esposito by emailing to nysca@pcllonline.com for more information. |
