Williamson Wildcats
Soccer Club
As the Wildcats
organization continues to get bigger, the modes of
communication that we have as a club need to evolve as
well. Parents and Players need to feel comfortable that
they can approach the board individually or as a group to
address these issues because failing to do so can lead
to non-productive actions.
As the President I personally have
experienced hesitancy about voicing
a concern, for fear that there would be
negative consequences for my daughter if the
coach was not receptive to my issues. We
feel as a board we need to be aware of and
open to the issues and concerns that either
parents, players, or coaches may be having
and to offer them a format to share. If I
was afraid to address my issue with a coach,
there are likely other parents or
players who feel the same way.
In order to make sure we are an open
organization we have engaged a person to be
a parent/player liaison. In order to assure
as much fairness and comfort as possible,
we have established an anonymous forum for
players and parents to give us feedback and
on a monthly basis the Board will review
these comments. We feel that by providing
this service, we ensure a vehicle for people
to openly communicate with us without fear
of repercussions. Perhaps if we
can evaluate all of the issues collectively
as a group, we can perceive patterns and
problems more clearly and can finally be
proactive with many of these issues before
they become a firestorm. This will be our
electronic suggestion box that is
only accessible to our parent liaison. Only
the board knows who the parent/player
liaison is and when reports are issued to
the board on a monthly basis no personal
information about the submitter will be
shared with the board. An Email account
wwscparents@yahoo.com
has been established by the parent/player
liaison and is now open for any of your
issues or concerns. Any positive feedback
can also be sent to the parent/player
liaison and that too will be shared with
the board.
Thank you
