The school should be using the Remind application for all class / athletic team communication. This creates a communication thread which cannot be altered and will certainly hold credibility should there be any questions as to the motive behind the messaging.
Our HS bowling coach was caught banging a few 15 year olds. Assuming this isn't a troll, yes, end it!
The responses on here are ridiculous. The coach is only 24 and your daughter is 15. That's nine years which is nothing. So what if the texts are inappropriate, that's not your business. Let her be and let her love who she loves. It's 2017 man. You're better than this
1/10If concerned dad was talking about his son and female coach though then society would be ok with it because it's good to empower women.

Not sure what to do here. My daughter is 15 and runs XC. She is probably the number 3 girl on the team and best of her class. The coach is young, probably 24. He is constantly texting my daughter, especially at night. While I haven't actually read the texts, I don't understand why they are texting back and forth so much. I don't want to be an over-bearing parent but I am irked by the coach texting my daughter.
Any parents have experience with this?
I have a kid in high school xc.
I would get to know the whole coaching staff if more than one. Establish a relationship with the coach first. That's what I would do instead of immediately coming down hard on the guy. Then play it by feel from there. You need more intel. Lots of XC teams invite parents on Saturday runs and there are all kinds of opportunities to get involved, volunteer, etc.
it's a win-win. You are helping at the same time you are keeping tabs on what is going on.

Maybe your daughter is the one initiating the texting? What was the name of that Alicia Silverstone movie?
The Crush!
Watch out for the super punch!
I think you need to read the texts first before you do anything! Probably needs to cut back on the over texting esp at night, but you don't want to go waving red flags and have him get fired over something petty. Read the text and then do what you can to have him back of off them without making a big scene. All you have to do is tell him you think it excessive and I am sure he will get the hint. Communication with this like anything is key and not just going and blowing the whistle and jumping to conclusions.
You have to have training for this? Maybe just some common sense!

We don't know what this way is. As I mentioned it's 2017, texting is a perfectly acceptable for of communication. It's pretty easy to text something that can't in any way be taken the wrong way.
You're telling me your school can't set up a lets run style web forum that is public for all to see? Its not about the form of communication, its about the fact that it is private. It would have been inappropriate for a coach to call their athletes from their personal phones every night back in the 80s as well.
Keep doing it if you want, I don't care. What I am trying to explain is that finding another method is for your benefit. Cover your ass.
This is not true!

Made my day
Dad's get jealous of the male figures in their daughter's lives.Unless she starts sneaking out of the house to meet him, there's nothing to worry about (probably).My girlfriend's brother is a high school teacher and has all his past and present students on facebook and they also text. It's weird, but it's the way it is in 2017. People who cannot deal with this should not have children.

Meh I skimmed it. It had potential but he was too wordy.

Let's be honest here Daddy..... This really comes to down to one question. Is your daughter hot? Allow me to refer to the traditional 1-10 scale of attractiveness. To make this a little less confusing let's just pretend your child's name is Gertrude.
Now if Gertrude is ANYWHERE -- and I mean ANYWHERE -- in the 0-6.5 range, I don't think you should be concerned. A young stud 20 something year old simply isn't gonna roll the dice on such sub par bounty. You can sleep easy if this is the case.....in fact, it's likely that no man, not even this shady xc coach, would ever be compelled to lay their hands [and/or other appendages ;)] on such an appealing creature like Gertrude.
However, If Gertrude falls somewhere in the next region (6.6 - 7.9) I think it would be wise to further investigate the situation. You're definitely in the danger-zone now, partner. As both of us know, summer love has no boundaries. Moreover, inferring from your initial post, it seems like these two are like quite the duo....winning state titles and all.... I wouldn't be too shocked if he leaves her panting from more than just quarter mile intervals ;). If this is her predicament (being in the 6.6 - 7.9 region), first and foremost, you should be a proud father. Your seed has produced a decent at worst (6.6) or at best (7.9) frankly, a quite impressive specimen. Of course, after reflecting on your spawn's physical beauty for a few moments, action must be taken. Since we can't know for sure if this xc coach -- let's just call him Arnold -- if Arnold has already procreated with Gertrude and have no hard (hehe) evidence against him, we must proceed with a certain degree of caution. I would recommend stealing your daughter's phone and investigating. Some tips for excavation:
1) Open messages app
2) Enter the terms "horny," "daddy," "I want it," and "you up?" into the search bar
3) Find out if Arnold is boning Gertrude.
The final scenario would be if Gertrude is placed in the notorious 8.0 - 10.0 region. I have some bad news for you in this case. Your daughter is surely being penetrated by a man many years her elder. Of course, at this point the damage has already been done -- both physically and mentally. However, steps must be taken to ensure Gertrude is not soiled even further. It would be wise to capture and hold Arnold hostage. This could be done in an abandoned storage unit, or even your own home. I've dealt with a hostage situation a few times in my years for various reasons which don't need to be disclosed here. I hope my experience can offer you some helpful tips for how to best deal with Arnold. Clearly, after capturing Arnold, he must be put to death. Your question, of course, is how? Find below one of my FAVORITE methods of execution. I call it "Fire, Honey, Soothe, Repeat"
The first step is to slowly burn the victim, making sure that every part of their body is covered in at least minor burns (not too severe or they will not feel it), then cover their body in sections of honey and leave them in the sun, this will attract insects that will bite on the burns, which in turn causes intense pain. Finally soothe them, find a way to make them temporarily forget (or not feel) the pain; when they are no long showing signs of pain, knock them out, heal their wounds and repeat (the temporary relief makes each cycle feel worse). A few points;
1) When leaving them out, I would suggest rope crucifixion (as nails would cause open wounds and make them bleed, which can cause lightheadedness, which limits pain), the cross itself should be low to the ground (to give false hope). It should also has a step so that the victim can push up to get a breath. This should go on for around 1-3 days to avoid infection of the burns
2) To avoid having the honey soothe the burns, I suggest mixing in broken glass, this will cut them as the honey melts. Also make sure you stick this pain honey into areas that they will always either have pressure on (under the feet) or they cannot help but move (the eyes)
3) Since this can go on indefinitely, you will need to feed them. I suggest Duran fruit or Carolina Reapers for the fruits and veggies and live insects for the meat. A fully balanced diet will keep them living longer. Live insects in bulk can cause internal bleeding though, so be careful not to feed them too many at once. Duran fruit is often described as smelling of garbage water and raw sewage, and If I have to explain why the Carolina Reaper is torturous then please say so.
4) The healing means that this brutal torture will last as long as you want; The ice will also help with keeping them sane and lucid. Although yo cannot avoid them losing hope, they will eventually lose the will to live. I would delve deeper into my thoughts, but I don't want to end up on a list.
I hope this post helps! PLEASE keep us posted on what you uncover!!

I loved it but i need to see pics of Gertrude
Also can u please contact me, id love to hear more about your ideas at the end
Any time I send a text or an email to athletes, I include parents on the distribution list. Parents can ask to be removed from a distribution list, but I've yet to have one do so.
I also endorse the Remind application mentioned in an earlier message, and let parents opt in if they want.
Also, if you're a coach do enough program activities that include parents that they get to know and trust you. It's the unknown or lack of trust that makes parent-coach relationships stressful.
If you want parents or kids to use communication it can't be through email or a "complicated" website. They want it easily available on their phone with texts, Facebook or twitter. Remind works pretty well but parents usually remove themselves from team group chats cause they don't care about how far so-so is supposed to run or what pace, etc...
I confronted my daughter. It did not go well. She got very defensive. She would not let me see her phone. Now she is threatening to go stay with her mother, who probably wouldn't care if anything were going on since she was having multiple affairs with very young men when we were married.
I'm a relatively young, female coach (34) and I like to text my athletes to check in and let them know about upcoming meet specifics. It's a bit of a pain to be that accessible, but I think the good communication is worth it. That being said, you need to make sure it is only running-related conversation. There is no reason for it to be outside that scope.
