Hi all
Just thought I’d throw this one out to you all for
comment. My Club’s new President wants to bring in a rule that no
parent can coach their child. She says this is because one parent in the
Club is showing favouratism towards their child. She also believes that
some kids work better under a coach other than their parent. I have been
coaching my daughter for 4 years (I have been involved in netball for 36 years,
played A grade all my life, Rep and State league at Nationals and are currently
studying for my Level 2 coach accreditation). My daughter is 12yo and is
playing 3rd division – she enjoys me as her coach and I love
to coach her and her friends – it is a family thing. I am quite
upset about this ruling and feel that why should we be discriminated against when
one person isn’t doing the right thing. The Club is a social club
and we have approx 6 mothers coaching their daughters. I was wondering if
anyone had any views on this situation.
