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

whatever other tasks he/she might request. Don’t forget to
