Having problems with message search?
It is a hard rule to make considering a lot of parents only coach because there children play. They want to be involved in their child's activities. So you may loose teams over this as their will be no coach to coach them. I would suggest that if a parent is favouring their child then what is wrong with speaking to that parent in a rational and approachable way. Another way would be to have an assistant with her.
Anyway we do not have that ruling for club, but where possible we don't like parent to coach their children at rep level. But then again everything has to be taken on its' merit.
I think more discussion is warranted with the president. Go to the next delegate meeting, I'm sure you are not the only person who is annoyed.

Subject: [netballcoaching] parents coaching daughters
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.
