How often does your coach email/talk/update you on your child's development without you having to provoke the conversation? How often does your kids school/individual teachers update you on your child's academic growth and achievements or deficiencies?

soccer = end of season school/teacher = every week or two

As a coach I do at least once a month during the season.
As a student Im only told I'm failing if I'm failing otherwise I rarely get feedback from my teachers.

Sorry for the long post, I feel like I need to vent. If your coach can't communicate to you about your son or daughter within a reasonable time period then you need to evaluate the coach and make a decision on whether or not they are looking out for your child's Soccer interest.
Our previous Coach would always do end of season evaluations and a promised written evaluation which we got 1 out of 4 seasons and was from a different coach. The coach was too busy to have a sit down month to month. Communication was a huge factor in leaving as we didn't know exactly what or where my son should be or how he was developing. All we could do was compare to other players in ODP and he made the conscious decision to try for DA and made it. He has been working on his confidence since he left. So far in just 5 DA games, we see he is playing with confidence and is very happy even if they don't win.
I know it is due to feedback from his current coach. My son knows what is expected from him. I can see him smiling after games now. He would often cry after games at his former club despite winning Classic 1 and being Finalist in two seasons. Right now, I don't need to talk to his current coach as my son is happy in his role and that's the feedback that I'm looking for.

How often does your kids school/individual teachers update you on your child's academic growth and achievements or deficiencies? Coach never does and its quite disappointing. But could be just a disadvantage of being at a large club. Still frustrating to say the least. Teacher does on a regular basis and historically they have at our schools.
