The world didn't end for the coaches with their phone number listed? Crazy if true.

Not as insane as the world not ending for all of us without access to coach numbers. How on earth did we ever make it? What did they do before cell phones and email? Maybe shut their mouths and learned something about the sport? Perhaps even teachers got to teach instead of listening to parents lobby for retests and extensions for their laggard kids. We're all better off with a little privacy, especially with this crowd.

Poor coach, being held accountable.

The OP didn’t say the coach's personal number. They said number. The coach is part of a business. That business should provide business phones to their customer facing employees. Given the mobile nature of the employees they should be mobile phones. If the coach can’t handle contact with adults they need to find a new job. Also it should be BYOD so club doesn’t have to pay. Coach can decide if they want a special phone or number. Google voice gives them out for free. Not that hard. Coach can make clear that the phone is for emergency contact and/or late notice of non attendance of player for practice or game.

Jesus, are the coaches adults or little kids? Are they professionals or not?

Believe me, sharing a phone number doesn’t make you accountable at all. You are a nosy nitwit and frankly I would never want to share my info with this parent. Your desire for the information is desperate and obsessive. Just plain weird.

What is it about email that people do not understand? Get a life and learn a real profession. Nobody just calls a cell in my profession. It’s a line that you don’t cross without emailing first. And you better damned well know me well to do it and not expect
Me to answer your effort. And texting? You must be kidding. Don’t even think about it.

What about having a conversation with them in person? I don't want or need the coach's email or phone, they can ignore both of those if they want to avoid me. They can't ignore when I walk up to them and ask for a few minutes of their time.

This is correct. It is appropriate for a coach to provide an email for communication with parents. And it is appropriate for a parent to email the coach and request a call if circumstances warrant.

Imagine being a part-time employee and believing you are soooo important that your phone will be ringing off the hook at all times of the day because the number is in TeamSnap. LOL!!!

Oh the self importance.

What is even funnier when they don’t actually get called at all times of the day if ever beyond a text that a player is running late to a game or practice.

This is literally what teamsnap is for. You can direct messege for this very reason.

Coach here again,

While it hasn't happened to me, I have had other coaches get the crazy parent(s) who texts at odd hours of the day and has called / created endless emails over silly issues. Usually it gets resolved eventually - but it can be hell for a while. I could see a coach going through that and deciding in the future that it's just not worth it. You can text via TeamSnap without making your number public...

It's not about self importance. If that's your experience with coaches I'm sorry.

I know, I get it. Personally, my phone has never blown up with ridiculous TeamSnap messages at all hours. I can't possibly relate to getting a TeamSnap notification 2 hours before practice that the time has changed to a different field and a earlier time. Or messages about Johnny leaving his cleat at the field and did anyone pick it up.

I just can't imagine the struggle.

Awwww, poor baby, would you like a zoom call with that?

Poor baby coach can't provide the number up front. Soooo many calls at all hours of the day.....

Clearly the coaches are triggered. But lets be honest, you don't provide the number because your wife doesn't like you talking or texting with the soccer moms at all hours. Just tell her your talking to Jake from State Farm next time.

PP is reason #10 for coaches not to give their number out...

DP. I suspect the coach doesn’t want you to have his phone number because you have an abusive personality disorder.

Because I had his phone number we developed a good relationship like most adults do. Kids use text and emails exclusively. Adults pick up the phone and talk. Face to face and voice communications beat digital every time when it comes to fostering a connection, mutual understanding, and respect. This blog itself proves this point. We can be rude or dismissive here and not really talk thru differences or get subtitles across. I can use a term like “morons” to get your attention where in person it would not be necessary.

Nah, just a lot busier and selective in my accessibility than you are. Sorry things have turned out like that for you. The real problem are the maniacal parents whose kids are cut or demoted or whose parents may seek some other kind of relationship with the coach. Both have been known to happen, especially the former.

For the love of the children, please stay home. Dont contribute to the pandemic at this dangerous time. The children are our future we must protect them. Call you coach if you have his number and tell him that we must protect the children. Stop the insanity. Everyone stay home and away from one another. your basement is a safe place. dont let anyone in your house

+1 face to face and phone conversations are preferable to emailing back and forth. How were you able to get the coach's number? Did he/she have it entered in Teamsnap?
