Parent Orientation Program 2015/2016
This year NSDMHA hosted our annual Parent Orientation session for parents of players in Novice who are new to the association. The session was held at the Emera Centre and close to 30 parents attended the session. The purpose of the session is to introduce all facets of the association to parents, including the financial overview, how the even split works, the process of hosting a tournament, fair play, evaluation and tryout process, certification of coaches and volunteers, and complaint process for parents.
The evening featured a number of speakers and I would like to thank them for their help with the presentation: Joe Peck, Gordie McGean, Cheryl Rendell, Sheri Campbell, and Carla Carmichael. Next year we will try to host this session at the start of the season, although it is a busy time to do so, to share information about the association to new parents prior to their children playing for the first time.
The association may also want to look at posting the slide presentation on our website for those who are unable to attend so that they have an opportunity to read what is shared during our evening session.
