for him/her. |
| Criteria: |

2. You observe |
| Theory |
|
The less you yell, the healthier the experience, for both you and the players. |
| Youth Soccer |
|
Players spend more time learning the game than parents do, and |
| Only |
|
The coach, hopefully spends
more time on preparation therefore, |
| Understanding |
|
Of what should happen during a game is highest with the coach, second with
then players, and third with the parents; therefore |
| Relax |
|
This is our team word. Parents enjoy watching their players play. |
| Applaud |
|
Reinforce good play and hard work, but don't tell the kids what to do while they are playing. |
| Go |
|
To every game; your kids need you; they need your love, your presence, your appreciation of their efforts. They
don't need you to tell them to "kick it" or "hustle", they'll do it on their own. |
| Evolve |
|
The kids will evolve into fantastic adults. With their blessing, so will we. |
