Parent Representative – Role, Duties and Expectations 

Parent Reps are an extremely important part of our organization. In order for teams to work together effectively, communication is very important. Communication is the primary function of the Parent Reps. 

Each team will have at least one (but not more than two) Parent Reps.  

Relatives of a coach are not permitted to be the Parent Rep of a team their daughter is participating in.

  • Update and maintain team information on the website (i.e. weekly practice schedule, play dates, upcoming tournament information, team pictures etc.)  

  • Collect volunteer checks and distribute information for Kill-the-Chill volunteer sign-up as needed.
