[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never, ever engage in team gossip. You will have access to info about rosters, starters, tryouts sooner than anyone else.  Keep confidential info confidential and release dates/rosters etc. to all families at the same time. When parents come to you to complain about playing time, coaching, roster size, etc., immediately direct them to the coaching staff. Engage other parents to help when you can - field set up, team photos, field marshal duty at tournaments, travel and tournaments, social/tailgate coordination (for between games at tournaments), etc.  [/quote]

+1. I have been a team manager for almost 10 years. Do not gossip with other parents and if people have complaints, they need to discuss with the coach. Do not act as a go between. I also do not gossip to coaches about parents complaining.

Only once have I let the coach know about parent gossip-- rumor was spreading amongst kids that coach was leaving (spread by coach's child :-) . I knew this wasn't true, but let the coach know he needed to address the rumors.[/quote]
