A Parent’s Role in Soccer
Parents: What can you do to make the game of soccer more enjoyable for your children….and other people’s kids too?
- Provide transportation to and from all practices and games ensuring that the player is prompt not only in arriving but also his/her departure.
- Stay and watch practices as well as games and lend the young players your support in a positive manner.
- If unable to attend the practice or game, encourage your child not to talk with or leave practices or games with strangers.
- Ensure that your child brings equipment to and from all soccer games and practices when appropriate.
- Be available to kick the ball around with your child when you are invited to do so.
