Re: Orginazation Problems

It sounds like your team needs to think about establishing a new team handbook, which takes into account school rules, rules about "couples" behavior, how your team will be organized ("mentor-driven", "student-driven", "combo"), defines roles on the team (student, mentor, chaperone, parent booster club), rules and consequences, etc.

A good start would be to ask a third party to act as facilitator for a team discussion on these issues. All must agree beforehand that everyone has their right to express their opinion, and that all parties will be given a chance to speak. Hopefully you can come to resolution before everyone decides to quit, and form a committee to start writing a new team handbook this summer.
