Being a Supportive Parent
ï‚·• Help your child take care of their body. The right food, plenty of rest and water.
ï‚·ï‚·• Encourage your child to do the best they can, everyday.
ï‚·ï‚·• Encourage your child to put the team first. Football is tough because it asks the members of the team to put everyone ahead of themselves which is not a natural instinct.
ï‚·• Issues affecting your child’s attitude and performance should be brought to the coaches’ attention by email or face to face conversation.
ï‚·• Issues related to playing time and touching the ball should be handled by the player and the coach. This is a coaches’ decision.
ï‚·• Encourage your child to never give up and see the football season through. Don't let quitting be an option. Football is a tough sport but the skills they develop will help your child to make better choices later in life.
ï‚·• Do your part by helping on the sidelines or fundraising. Volunteering to help out is mandatory and failing to meet your volunteer obligations will result in your child missing playing time.
ï‚·• Getting to practice on time is the parent’s responsibility, keeping up with equipment, filling water bottles etc., is the responsibility of the player.
