[quote=Anonymous]Most sports at high school level leave the mommy communication out. The expectation is that in high school, the athletes themselves communicate with the coach if there is anything to communicate about. They are expected to be mature enough to advocate for themselves. The teams have their own chat or e-mail groups, which are for players, and then parallel chats/e-mails for parents dealing with team dinners and the like. It would be super inappropriate for a mom to go and try to advocate for someone who is not even their own child. The suggestions for trying for a team manager are good ones (again, the kid has to go and offer himself, not the mom) or go and do a non-cut sport like track. All and all, I don't think your friendship will survive long term due to inappropriate and wild expectations. [/quote]
