Parent education is a critical component of our programming. Our goal is to help educate and encourage parents to be positive role models that assist the development of their child. Click here to view our Positive Parenting Presentation - an Introduction to Youth Soccer.

How to Be Supportive Soccer Parents:

• Give consistent encouragement and support to their children regardless of the degree of success, the level of skill or time on the field.
• Stress the importance of respect for coaches through discussions with their children, and highlight the critical nature of contributing to the team and its success.
• Serve as role models, see the “big picture”and support all programs and all players.
• Leave coaching to coaches and do not criticize coaching strategies or team performance.
• Avoid putting pressure on children about playing time and performance.
