Feedback & Communication
We value open communication and encourage families to share both compliments and concerns about our coaches. Constructive feedback helps us ensure a positive experience for all players.
If you have feedback to share, we kindly ask that you follow these steps:
1. Engage with the Coach First: Start by discussing your compliment or concern directly with your coach. Open dialogue often resolves questions or issues quickly.
2. Contact the Age-Specific Director of Coaching (DOC): If additional input is needed, the Age-Specific DOC is available to provide guidance and support.
3. Reach Out to the Executive and Technical Directors: For further assistance, our Executive and Technical Directors are available to address unresolved matters.
4. Escalate to the Board of Directors: As a final step, if necessary, you may bring your concern to the Board of Directors for review.
We are committed to fostering a collaborative environment where players, families, and staff work together to ensure the best possible experience for everyone at AC Marin.
