TEAM COMMUNICATION
Murray Aquatic Club communication plan will utilize the following tools in our efforts to keep our members informed and prepared for success in and out of the water.
Team Website
Download the Sports Engine Motion app to stay in the loop for team events, meets, practice schedule updates, and more!
The MAC coaching staff will utilize email as the primary form of direct communication with the team as a whole. Any time sensitive announcements, practice changes or cancelation, meet entry deadline reminders, and upcoming event info will be sent out via group email. If you need to reach the coaching staff please contact Ulysses Acero at [email protected] or Julie Konishi at [email protected].
Parent Meeting
The MAC coaching staff will host pre-season group parent meetings. These meetings will cover group objectives, coaching philosophy, and athlete/parent expectations. Parent meeting notes will be posted to the team website.
Parent/Coach Conference
The MAC coaching staff may request an individual meeting with an athlete and their parent(s). This type of meeting could be scheduled to discuss any of a number of items ranging from athlete development to disciplinary issues.
Comments, Complaints or Issues
- The MAC coaching staff aims to respectfully address any disagreements that may arise between parents, athletes, and coaches. Please utilize the following steps when communicating complaints or concerns with a member of the MAC coaching staff.
- Speak directly to your child’s primary coach about the matter. This may require a parent/coach conference. Please note that it is not appropriate to discuss matters of this nature during practice time or on the pool deck with other parent or athlete members of the team present.
- Speak directly to the head coach regarding the matter. The head coach will address the complaint with the coach in question (if necessary) and may request a parent/coach meeting to resolve the issue.
- Communicate directly to the MAC pool manager. A written complaint may be required at this time in order for the Pool Manager and the Head Coach to come to a final decision on the matter.
