[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team rep here. It doesn’t happen often, but I’ve been on the phone trying to find parents who haven’t shown up. They’re usually late. I really hate no shows. It’s not even about winning or losing … it’s about the kid the coach couldn’t pick for the meet who really wanted to be there.[/quote] In regular sports (particularly high school), if you don't show up to practice (much less a game), you don't get playing time. If I were a swim coach and one of my A meet swimmers had confirmed attendance and then no showed without explanation, they would be out of consideration for the next A meet. This would need to be made clear to the parents at the beginning of the season and in every lineup email, but it would need to be enforced to have any teeth.[/quote]
