Here I've been writing articles for a couple of years, and I don’t know how to end my own title.  But this article wasn’t even my idea.  A woman emailed me and said, “Hey, got time to answer some questions?  I bet a lot of parents would like to see these questions answered!!”   So, OK, everyone, here it goes.

• Why isn’t my kid playing as much as we think she should?
• How do many coaches stay so calm during matches?
• Some of us parents act crazy at matches.  Is that OK with you?
• I don’t understand why the team is made of daughters of school board members, boosters, principals, and teachers.  I hate when politics is involved in team decisions, don’t you?
• How can parents help the coaches?
• What’s your opinion about significant playing time for everyone on the team?
• When do you "play to win?"
