[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe this thread has gone for 8 pages.  My kids have never had a coach that didn't provide their number.  I don't think anyone on the teams ever abused it.  One coach was also quick to respond on text and would make time to speak if the parents had questions.  I think we just lucked with coaches we had, also never had an issue approaching them before or after practice if they were around and available.  [/quote]

I'm a coach and a little surprised to hear that there are coaches who do not make their number available for players and/or parents. My number and email are in Teamsnap and the players and parents are welcome to contact or approach me in person with questions/issues/concerns. I have a full-time "9-5" career in a traditional office setting (until the pandemic made it WFH) so can't always answer calls or respond to texts/emails immediately but I like to think I do at least a satisfactory job of responding in a timely manner (i.e. within 48 hours depending on the issue). Years and years ago when I was a youth player (so before an app like Teamsnap) my parents had the team phone tree list next to our phone and one of those numbers was the coach's.

And I can't say I've ever had anyone "abuse" my number. At worst maybe had to manage some unrealistic expectations or receive some unsolicited tactical advice a few times, but nothing I would classify as overusing my phone number.[/quote]
