Negative comments about players during games or training sessions will not be tolerated. The same is true for negative comments about other parents or coaches. As I said, concerns about coaches should be addressed off the field. Do not coach the team players including your own youngster from the sidelines during a game. Respect the judgment of the referee and do not criticize officials.
Supportive parents focus on mastering soccer skills knowledge and, to some extent, game strategies.
Decrease the pressure to win. Believe that soccer s primary value is to allow youth the opportunity for self-development. Parents must understand the risks. A soccer game is full of mistakes, and the team that makes fewer mistakes wins the game. Playing soccer includes a willingness to chance a failure.
