Generally, the coach will know this, and will invite someone else to speak for the student.I have a question and I promise I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm just trying to understand this whole ceremony..
What happens if the player doesn't have parents that love him or can't be bothered to show up? Not everyone lives in a fairy tale and I can't imagine how awkward it would be for everyone if a players name was called and no one stood up for them.
We do something similar, but different for students being Confirmed at our church. The parents are asked to write a letter to the student. Other family members and close friends can also write. I have an only child. And I have written numerous letters. Many times it has been for former students of mine. Sometimes it is for someone that I know a little more casually, but they don't have many relatives that are willing to write the letter.
