I think upfront communication is key. If a coach expects the player to forego vacation during the season, tell them before the parents fork over the deposit. Give them a chance to decide if your team is or isn't right for you.
I don't think a lot of coaches realize how important it is to have a team / parent meeting before ever taking the practice field. You have to set expectations and explain your rationale or you're going to have misunderstandings and hurt feelings later. If the parents get up and leave, (hasn't happened yet) it's probably for the best.
