[quote=Anonymous]Coach here:

It's hit and miss whether a coach tells a parents what shape or strategy the team will employ during the season. Communication w/ parents is an area most coaches can really improve on.

While I haven't discussed the shape with my parents, I have talked about my approach to the game.

I'll be honest, some coaches don't do it because they don't want to deal with the inevitable parent who wants to question their every move and you get stuck in this endless dialogue where the parent is never happy.

I wouldn't surprise me if your team tried a few shapes during pre-season. Depending on the shapes some are pretty easy to evolve into.

I'd be a little concerned if you switched just before our after your first game or two. That may tip me off that the coach is more interested in results than the development and performance.

Is the coach new to the team? Do you have several new players? Both can contribute to needing a bit more time before settling into a final shape.

All that being said, if you've been practicing since June; should be pretty clear what shape(s) your team should be playing.[/quote]
