Are there any travel clubs in the DMV that do not have parent involvement?

Parent involvement influences the coaches perspective and the team overall and most of the time is negative.

Are there any travel clubs in the DMV that have minimal or no parent involvement? Even to the point where the coach cannot be contacted directly, but only through a formal process?

Yes there are a few. Although i think many parents like it when coaches are accessible.

Its important to have direct communication with the coach. You should never have to go through a TM first. In order to have success you need 3 parts coach , athlete, parent, No less and no more. Adding another parent ie a TM does nothing to help your athlete get better.

Having some level of access to the coach is important. Unless the coach is a psychologist, behavioral therapist, baby-sitter, and teacher, in addition to excelling as a coach, parent involvement is required. Probably most important during younger ages (5-10).

Correct and parents should not catch a coach before a game to have conversations. The scene looks like parents influencing the coach when he or she should be with players. Important team decisions should happen in a meeting and involving all parents.

Totally agree never talk to a coach before or after a game unless its to convey an injury or illness, etc. On a practice day is acceptable and it doesn't matter who sees it. It can be private or in the open. The other parents and especially the team manager. Dont be afraid to tell them all to mind their business.
