Parent/Coach Communication CJWF welcomes parent and coach communication and recognizes that it needs to be a healthy relationship thorough the year, however we ask that all parents use their best judgment when approaching any coach and just consider the scenario under the situation you have decided to approach them. Please use comment sense and remove any tempers when approaching a coach. Always include the Head Coach first if approaching an Assistant Coach. Attempts to get the coach’s attention from the stands will not be tolerated. Remember the coaches are volunteers.
