For Parents
Why Parents Need this Program
The Coaching Coaches’ parent program is designed to help parents redefine their role in youth sports. Parents are as important to the success of a season as are the children, coaches, officials and organizations.
Parents need to properly prepare their child for the season. Parents need to think about how they will react to common occurrences during a game and during a season long before they show up to cheer for their child. Parents need to adhere to best practices when addressing coaches and administrators, especially when parents feel they have a concern or issue. Parents need to put closure to a season before moving onto the next activity. All of these topics are contained with our Coaching Coaches Positive Parent Participation program and help ensure our children have better sporting experiences.
About our Parent Program
Positive Parent Participation provides techniques as to how parents prepare, children of any age, for the upcoming season including having age appropriate discussions and practicing some of the skills associated with the upcoming sport or activity. These tactics and strategies will provide for an effective routine which will help children prepare both mentally and physically for the upcoming season.
The in-season portion of any sport is the greatest challenge for our parents. Parents tend to get caught up in the successes or failures of the sport and, for many, have trouble keeping it in perspective. Parents need to support the program. Coaching Coaches believes parents need to think about various scenarios prior to attending the games. Finally, parents must prepare themselves as to how they will positively and effectively approach a coach or organization administrator when a difficult or sensitive discussion is needed.
