Tips For The Football Team Parent, to Help Make This Season Stress Free

As the new football season starts it is important to get off on the right foot. As the team parent you will be responsible to compile (or get from the coach) the team roster. The roster will usually include the players name, parent name, phone number . Pass the roster out to each parent so they can contact each other when necessary.

The team parent usually provides the snack after the first game. Make a snack and drink schedule so that each player is equally responsible to bring the snack . You should also provide healthy snacks after the first game and encourage others to try to bring healthy snacks as well.

When the league or sponsoring organization sends out information it is your responsibly to make sure each parent gets the information. Give the hand outs to the parent not the kids.

Most football teams will have a team photo taken once the season has started and you should notify the other parents of the time that will take place (usually prior to a game or practice). Any player wishing to purchase a photo package must pay for it at the time the picture is taken.

Fallowing the last game of the season there is usually an awards dinner. Each team will arrange for there own season ending celebration. The team parent plays an important role in coordination this event for their team including arranging for trophies, an appreciation gift for the team’s coaches, and setting up the dinner, potluck, pizza or what ever you choose. This is a great time to get some of the other parents involved help you.

Sometimes if you buy your trophies online you can get a better price and not have to pay tax and in some cases get free or discounted engraving of the trophy. Plan to purchase your award at least three weeks prior to the end of the season to insure enough time to produce and ship them. The trophy will usually be engraved with each players name, the team name and season or date. They also sometimes include the sponger or league.

You may also want to get the coach a gift of appreciation. A gift certificate or plaque or gift along with a card signed by each of the players is a very nice way to thank him or her for their efforts.

The coach will usually present the trophy after dinner which is a good time to get a photo taken with the team member and coach presenting the trophy. It is your job to transport the trophies to the dinner.

We wish you the best of luck and hope you have a fun stress free season and we hope these team parent guidelines will be helpful.

Relinquishing his parental rights was brought up by him and the mother of the child is this possible at all?

without a court order?

What do you think about this parental decision?

today i called my friend to ask him if he could come over, he said no because he slept until 1 in the afternoon. He explained that his mom doesn’t allow him to go anywhere, nor have anyone come over to his house if he doesn’t wake up by 10 in the morning.

so why do you think his mom has this rule?
do you agree with her not letting him leave/have people come over? or do you disagree?
he’s 15 and its summer vacation for us

My friend's child's father is wanting to "sign away his parental rights." What exactly does this mean?

My friend had an “oops” baby. She was messing around with a co-worker and got pregnant, and then he went and remarried his ex-wife. Crazy, I know. Well, now he wants to “sign away his parental rights.” What exactly does this mean? Would he still have to pay child support, or is he off free? She has a lawyer and they’re going to court soon. I just would like to know this for my knowledge. Thanks!

Do you think teens should be able to do this without parental consent?

Do you think teens should be able to get BC and abortions without parental knowledge or consent? Am I the only one who thinks this could be extremely dangerous because
A) A teen might not fully disclose/understand a medical condition that could make one of these options life threatening
B) By excluding parents from this, the teen will loose the support and ability to confide and seek love and advice from their parents.
Or is there some really good reason to exclude parents from medical issues and procedures involving their child that I just haven’t thought about yet?
Replace “teen” with “Minor” for those who did not get the gist of it
