Getting parents to help

Jamie Griffiths

I appreciate it might not be the easiest task - but has anyone got any success stories to share around getting the player's parents/carers involved with coaching?

Or perhaps you have some top tips to help coaches improve their relationships with the parents on the sidelines? Would be great to share best practice with everyone if so!

If you have a good relationship with them already, Suey Smith has set you this task on the latest episode of Coachcast:

"Recruit someone from the sidelines. Make a relationship with a parent or helper and get them to step over the sidelines. Get them to be the next you."

Parents

  • Key thing I have heard is, as suggested above really, asking parents to help out with tasks for training and matchday. Also getting their children to explain to their parents, what they are doing in the session is a nice way of getting everyone involved. Asking for feedback and maintaining good and clear ways of communicating always help.
