There are several ways to learn more about your child's coach. Talk with the coach to find out answers to the questions in the checklist. Observe the coach in practice and games. Talk with other parents who have had children play under this coach. Dealing With Unsatisfactory Coaching Parents often have a difficult time dealing with their child's coach when they decide that he or she is coaching in a unsatisfactory way.
Thoughtful parents are reluctant to interfere and hesitant to remove their child from the team.
Parents must use good judgment in such situations, communicating with both the child and the coach to resolve the problem. We recommend that you begin by discussing the problem with the coach. Explain your concern and then listen to the coach's perspective. If the problem with the coach is not severe, consider taking special steps with your child explain the coach's unsatisfactory behavior when it occurs. When children have help to recognize negative behavior, they often can learn positive lessons.
