Locations and times of all practices and contests/travel information Appropriate concerns to discuss with the coach 1. Ways to help your son improve 2. Concerns about your son’s behavior or academic progress 3. The mental or physical treatment of your son It is extremely difficult to accept that your son is not playing as much as you may hope.
