Use Teamer, WhatsApp and/or Email judiciously and in moderation but use them. Set the ground rule and ensure all parent comms are constructive, relevant and focused.Parents and children want to plan their availability for the team so you must meet them half way and tell them all the scheduled information, get them to take responsibility for putting games, training, socials etc in their diaries and advise them early if plans change General Comms: Good communications are key.Record who has and hasn’t helped, it may come in useful if you struggle one week and 1/2 parents have never helped Email it and remind them after each training session. It’s easier setting expectations early on rather than after a few weeks. Set expectations early on that parents need to help with goals, refereeing, admin or café duties.It’s your responsibility home or away to send your form back and failing to do so can get expensive if you’re not diligent. Ensure paperwork is retuned after the game promptly. Pairings should be of almost equal ability so not to get too wide a differential in results.Your should be paired with another team in your age group in Langton Green or, if you have an odd number of teams, with another team elsewhere so you always play at the same time v two other teams.This gives you flexibility to move players around as required occasionally so no "formal" teams as far as the Crowborough League are concerned
