To be honest, it's not going to be easy to deal with as a student talking to an adult. You'll definitely want an adult on your side--or you'll need to be speaking for a group of students.

Yes, yes, yes, on all counts. The adult mentors should make it clear that this is a
team, and that if this parent is interested in becoming a "mentor member" of the team, that's cool, but that at this point in the season, (s)he needs to work within the system of the team, whatever that may be. Fundamental changes to the team structure will only be discussed AFTER the 2016 competition season.
