Getting parents “On Board” is key when you are coaching youth football and want to keep your sanity.
Some Parents don’t “Get” Youth Football
Sport Watches Nike
Many parents just don’t understand what is acceptable and unacceptable fan behavior. Remember your program will always be judged by the aggregated actions of your coaches, players AND parents. If you choose to ignore managing this very important group your season can end up being a disaster. It’s never fun having to police your parents during a game or get an angry call from the league because a parent commissioner was acting foolishly. Worse yet, your players often use the actions of others as cues for their own behavior. If you have poorly acting parents, the players follow.

Limits
Most people respondfairly well if they are given limits at the outset and told they can accept the limits and participate or ignore the limits and play elsewhere. What doesn’t work and isn’t very fair is if the limits are not defined or are given out piecemeal restores and arbitrarily. That’s why we came up with our Parent or Spectator Contract that is required in order that anyone play in our program. It clearly states what is and is not acceptable behavior and what the penalties for choosing not to follow it. I’ve found it is much more effective to be proactive about this issue and address it head on day 1. On page 58 of my book “Winning Youth Football a Step by Step Plan” is my Parent speech I give out word for word before every season. I’ve never had a player on one of my teams ejected or had a singlesignificant parent issue by using this approach.
Below is the Contract:
