on a related note, any suggestions for telling DDs current coach she is not coming back for fall? current/old team had tryouts about one week ago, DD could not make it because of other commitments, and we communicated this to coaches, and they indicated no problem, "we know what (DD) can do". we were already looking around, and DD had one tryout two weeks ago, one last week, the first one offered, and after a couple of discussions with the coach we accepted.
tried to call last night, got voicemail, just left message asking coach to call us, any suggestions on what to say when conversation happens? OK to notify via text or voicemail if I cannot get them after so many tries (and how many)?
Thanks
any suggestions for telling DDs current coach she is not coming back for fall?We just moved after being on the same team for 4 years. The team was very good. A personal phone call to the coach was made. Then personal calls to each family that we were close to and had been with for the four years. Finally, an email to the team stating we won't be coming back but we wished them best of luck and how lucky we were to be part of such a great team. Keep it short. Don't get into specifics because people will be mad and disappointed. Some will use your own words against you.
Leave with some class. Even if there are reasons not to. And there will be reasons.
Personally I would rather not burn bridges because you never know when circumstances might change.
tried to call again last night, got voicemail again. I would prefer to do this over phone, I just feel it is right way to handle it. Not planning on getting into why unless the coach asks (If they ask, to me it means they want feedback, and I will honor that).
at what point do we just text the coach? or should we reach out to head of organization (incidentally, it appears one of his daughters is playing FH in same org as DD1 this fall, this is actually how we got introduced to team, his wife and my DW were talking at a indoor FH game this past winter)? I dont have an email from them, everything was text.
Did you leave a voicemail? If not, I understand why you called again. If someone calls me and DOES NOT leave a voicemail then I'm not calling back. If it's not important enough to leave a message then it's not important for me to call back.
