For Better Sports For Kids we now have a tool that can have a far-reaching impact in implementing positive changes in youth sports. For Better Sports For Kids establishes a game plan for every community to rid children's sports of parents who behave inappropriately. An individual must be appointed to act as a supervisor of all youth sports in a community, much the way a school board has a leader. Mandate that youth sports administrators who lease park and recreation facilities receive training in all aspects of youth sports management. Require volunteer coaches undergo training in the basics of coaching children to ensure they understand the important role they play in providing a safe and fun experience.
Youth sports can be a character-building experience for American families.
For Better Sports For Kids, seeking to preserve the integrity of that institution, is a program that restructures the sports environment so that children and adults can have the best experience possible. All too often the experience of parents, children and volunteers in organized sports is a bittersweet one. While participants are given a chance to take part in sports activities that promote fun and skill development, some of these experiences are marred by incidents of violence, abuse, or exhibitions of poor sportsmanship. By having an organization and program in place to train participants at all levels of involvement, and holding them accountable, a safer setting is ensured so that children may grow and learn from a positive experience. As a result, the youth sports experience is placed into its proper perspective.
