Team Parents are a critical part of any team and can make a huge impact on the group. Ask any manager and they’ll tell you that getting a good Team Parent is one of the most important things they’ll do all year. Many Managers draft players with parents that help coordinate team activities. We reached out to long-time Team Mom Elaine Reedy, and here are her Top 10 Tips for Being a Great Team Parent.
- 10. Enlist other Parents to help
- 9. Go to the Team Mom meeting
- 8. Give parents plenty of notice for required concession stand duty
- 7. If possible, go ahead and sew the LL patch on yourself, some parents will never do it
- 6. Get the uniform issues resolved at the first practice
- 5. Most teams make a team banner, check to see if any parent has talent in that area
