Do not confront the coach with concerns before, during or directly after a practice. Do not confront a coach before, during or directly after a competition/performance. Please allow 24 hours to pass before confronting an emotional concern through verbal communication or email, in order to ensure thoughts instead of emotions are guiding what gets accomplished with the conversation. D. Respect the timing of home phone calls/emails: Phone calls should be made between 7:30am-6:00pm. Emails can be sent at any time keeping in mind the 24 hour rule listed above depending on the topic of conversation. If an email is sent outside of the appropriate phone call time frame, the parent/guardian understands that the email may not be returned until the following day, or the next preceding week day if the email is sent on the weekend. What are Appropriate Concerns to Discuss with the Coach? 1. The treatment of your athlete, mentally and physically. 2. Personal skill improvement and development 3. Concerns about your athlete's behavior 4. Concerns about negative/destructive behavior that applied to your athlete. What are the Inappropriate Concerns that Should Not and Will Not Be Discussed with the Coach? 1. Who made the squad, what level squad and why? 2. Other dancers- their development and relationships, unless it directly involves your athlete, and in that case only what directly involves your athlete. 3. Performance placement, choreography changes to feature your athlete 4. Spread of bad sportsmanship.
