SMST Team Parents
Team/Age Group parents are a very important part of our team. They act as liaisons between the SMST Board of Directors and member families. They help members learn the “ins and outs” of club swimming and communicate team information to families. Each age group has a Team Parent who works closely with the site coach and Parent Engagement Committee to ensure that the following activities get done (with their own efforts and by recruiting other parents to help them).
You can call on your age group Team Parents for the following:
New Parent Orientation - The Team Parent works in tandem with the Parent Orientation Committee, to assist with new parent orientation. Answers questions they have regarding the SMST handbook, Parent Commitment Hours, team web site, contact information etc. Recruits other parents to participate as volunteers.
Age Group and Team Communications - The Team Parent acts as “triage” for parents’ questions, and if answers cannot be found in the Handbook, website, or newsletter, refers them to the appropriate person. Sets up a phone tree and maintains e-mail list of member families for when the coach needs to send out last-minute changes in schedules or other important messages. Maintains pool bulletin board and sure postings are up-to-date, including practice schedules and meet info.
Age Group Meetings – The Team Parent holds periodic meetings for parents, during practice or at other convenient times, for ongoing orientation and to explain upcoming events and distribute materials. Requests participation from coaches or board members as needed for these meetings. If needed, attend SMST board meetings. Communicates to a board member, any problems he/she observes at the pool and any suggestions or concerns about the team.
Age Group Activities – The Team Parent helps organize social activities for your age group, such as pre/post-meet parties and birthday recognition. Assists and recruits volunteers from the team to assist with all-team activities such as the team banquet. Also, if a swimmer or swimmer’s family has a crisis, coordinates assistance for them with other swimmers, coaches, and families.
Annual Coach Recognition – The Team Parent coordinates the coach’s recognition presentation at the annual Awards Banquet.
Coach assistance – The Team Parent assists your age group coaches with whatever other tasks he/she might request. Don’t forget to ask other parents to help.
