I've made a point of having a email or a PDF ready with important information about the team. This has really made new parents and players feel welcome and sets expectations. Be willing to talk this over with prospective parents during or before tryouts. Some things to include are:
- Budget, how payments are collected, and if fees can be refunded. Is it run through the club or does the team manage itself?
- What is included or not in the budget (Are uniforms included? Travel?)
- Training times and locations and absence policy (set expectations early!)
- Summer plans
- Winter plans
- Playing time expectations
- How to volunteer and be involved.
- Communication systems
- Rostering process
- Parental/Sportsmanship guidelines
- Contact information for coaches and other team members.
