By letting the parents know expectations for their children, as well as expectations for parental involvement, you are giving them a chance to either align themselves with your rules, or opt-out. This way, if parents misbehave later in the season, you can call them out on the pre-set rules which they signed prior to the season! This “Parents Code of Conduct” is a great idea!

Just this past season, I had coaches approach me about how i was able to maintain control of my parents on a losing team(0-8). Like you said Coach, at the beginning of the season, I laid it all on the line and clearly, which was important, what we would face as a team and what my goals were, because many of my kids were inexperienced. The only difference from what you suggested was that i didn't allow any parent to contact me directly. I appointed a parent, my team manager, to screen my calls. She was my 2nd in command and I shared all information with her. This was crucial because my coaching staff was small(2 full time assisstance/ 2 part time). I am always amazed at some coaches refusal to be honest and lay out clear direction for there teams. My kids learned and grew as players and my parents learned that winning is relative.
