For Parents: Tasks
1. Answer the questions asked by Head Coach.
2. Make sure Parent group stays on task to
answer the 3 questions within the allotted time. Make sure Parents
specify when any outstanding question is answered in full, so
Head Coach knows to ask next question.
2. Honor all Ground Rules (Parents answer
questions, do not ask Coach(es) any questions)
3. Must act to preserve and police the integrity
of the process in the event Head Coach does not execute on the
Ground
Rules maintenance Task. For example if any Observer speaks during
the PCT meeting and Head Coach does not act to remove that Observer,
any Parent who is aware of this must bring it to the attention
of the Head Coach, reminding him about associated Boundary
for Observers.
For Parents: Boundaries
1. May not direct any questions to Head Coach
or Assistant Coaches
2. May provide answers for any of the 3 questions
from Head Coach
3. Must honor all Ground Rules
4. May optionally attend the meeting (attendance
not required)
5. Parent is prohibited from attending the
PCT meeting if a Team Captain in attendance also is a child
of that Parent. This includes Head Coach, who must delegate authortity
to an Assistant Coach if Head Coach's Kid is a Team Captain.
6. Parent may not ever remove an Observer
who speaks during a PCT Meeting. However, Parent must act
to bring this Ground Rule violation to the attention of the group,
if and when Parent is aware of the situation.
7. Parent who occupies a leadership role in
the Organization such as Org Leader or Board Member may not share
information that is not available now to all Parents. For example
a Board Member attending in Parent Role may not discuss anything
about the Organization at this meeting that ALL Parents do not
already know. Likewise, an Organization Leader must exercise
caution and always participate in a peer Parent role with the
rest of the group.
