A coach asks for a commitment before we know the schedule

A sports activity sounds interesting, but the full-term training times are still unclear. I don't want to promise consistent attendance and discover later that it overlaps essential family logistics. How do you ask about flexibility without signalling that the child isn't serious?

    Consistency is easier when both the family and the organiser know the actual commitment.

      We need to check what the organiser actually requires before promising attendance.

    Ask for the published timetable and attendance expectations, then make your decision from that.

      I need to stop feeling awkward about requesting basic scheduling information.

    A trial works only if expectations about regular attendance are clear. It's worth asking before the child starts looking forward to every session.
