parents at rep trials is also OK with me.
Rep teams are best announced days latter on the club website at 5.00pm on a Friday. That gives people who missed out, the wkend to "let their anger" die down before confronting the club.

It also prevents scenes in front of players as happens when teams are announced at the conclusion of the last trial.

I'm a parent and I think not having parents at tryouts is a great idea, great if they can watch from viewing gallery or outside the crts, but having them inside does distract a lot of kids as they look to their parents either for guidance or anticipating the criticism . But I think parents should be welcome at general trainings, there they can get to know other parents, and form friendships but they should all realise that they are NOT the coach and should keep their conversations away from the subject of basketball if possible.

Concensus at an Association that has recently started doing this (closed sessions at try-outs) is that the coaches love it, but the parents miss being able to watch or at least have the choice to do so, the kids don't care either way...

Well said.

Banning parents just sets up unnecessary barriers and actually portrays the coach as having people issues, a lack of respect, or a lack of self confidence. It portrays the coach as having a secret agenda they are unwilling to share with others, or an inability to effectively interact with others.

I have seen coaches like this before who cannot interact effectively with the stakeholders around them. God knows how they actually function in a workplace dealing with people.

I like parents to attend. It shows they are interested. It lets them see "what a good program" you are running and gets them onside.

As a coach you need the support of the parents as well as the players to have a successful season.
