I'm trying to read through the policy. There are so many links and sublinks that it's hard to get it all straight, but it seems to me that it is a well intentioned thought with horrible execution. For example - texting information regarding the team is prohibited between athletes and coaches after 9pm. We all have been to competitions that have lasted longer than 9pm. In fact, one year my kids' were on a team where a team member didn't come to warm ups and the team competed after 9. What is a coach supposed to do in that situation? Also, what do athletes who are also coaches do when they need to communicate with their coach who also may be their boss? What do the children of coaches or gym owners do? Can they not be facebook friends with their parents? Can they not text them when they need money at the concession stand? The policy seems excessive and doesn't apply to current real life situations.
