Club Attendance

At least one parent is required to attend all CCofPA club meetings with their student(s), unless other arrangements have been pre-approved by the Club Administrator. Parental involvement is crucial for the success of your own student(s), as well as the club itself. Parents will learn the skills necessary to critique public speaking and/or debate rounds and will share in the responsibility of overseeing breakout groups. Every family will be responsible to help clean the facility after club meetings on a rotational basis.

If an emergency arises which makes attendance impossible, it is the parents’ responsibility to find a replacement to assume their club duties for that meeting and to inform CCofPA coordinators as soon as possible.

 
Transportation
Parents must provide transportation both to and from all club meetings, club functions, and tournaments. Directions to individual tournaments are usually provided along with their registration forms.
 
Parent Meetings
It is mandatory for at least one parent to attend Parent Meetings. These meetings will be held either during club time or at a previously agreed upon time for the purpose of discussing club-related issues. This is the time to discuss administrative and organizational ideas, ask questions, seek help, make suggestions, instruct parents, and so forth. During this time, club parents will also learn NCFCA rules and judging skills required to effectively judge debate and IE tournament rounds.
 
Tournaments
Parents will learn NCFCA rules and the judging skills required to effectively judge debate and/or IE tournament rounds. Instruction will be provided at weekly club meetings or at Parent Meetings. Parents will also learn debate and/or IE timing methods used in tournament competition. If a local tournament is hosted by CCofPA, at least one parent is required to participate in the organization and management of it by fulfilling the various responsibilities required, regardless of the competitive status of their student(s).
