Parents have a great influence on kid’s enjoyment and success in football. All kids play football because they enjoy the game – it’s fun. However good a footballer a child becomes within our club, it is important to reinforce the message that…
positive encouragement from parents/guardians will contribute to:
- Children enjoying football
- A sense of personal achievement
- Self-esteem
- Improving the child’s skills and techniques
A parent’s expectations and attitudes have a significant bearing on the child’s attitude towards:
- Other players
- Officials
- Managers
- Spectators
Parents/Guardians must:
- Applaud all good play – oppositions’ as well as Loanhead’s
- Avoid coaching the child during the game
- Not shout and scream
- Respect the Referee’s/coach’s decision
- Give attention to each of the children involved in football, not just the most talented
- Give encouragement to everyone to participate in football
Parents/Guardians must agree and adhere to the Loanhead Miners YFC Child Protection Policy as followed by all coaches.
