Working To Make Positive Changes
By working together to make positive changes in sideline behavior, you can make the youth sports experience much more enjoyable, not only for yourself, but for everyone else: players, coaches, and officials, even parents of the opposing players. As you and the other parents become more relaxed, your children will not only enjoy sports more, they will perform better.
As the "consumers" of a youth sports program, parents have the power to force positive changes in the way a program is run. By helping a youth sports program create a common positive value system through education, training and publicity, parents are more likely to live up to the expectations of the program, and themselves.
