I was wondering if clubs are transparent with the parents about how they are treating their coaches during the pandemic?
At our club the coaches were put on furlough in early April and were brought back only after the PPP loan was approved. Only the DOCs were kept on staff and they led the Zoom sessions with the teams.
My understanding is that there are also differences depending on whether the coaches are employees vs. contractors. Just curious if most clubs have been able to keep their coaches employed throughout this period. I think our coaches were a little blindsided by it and that might hurt loyalty down the road. I am also concerned that it could hurt with recruiting playing and coaching talent if competitors treated their staff better during this tough time.
