I find coaching my two daughters quite exhausting sometimes, and wish that they could be coached be another.
The thing is that l love coaching but l live 40 min from the centre so it benefits me that l coach them at the same time.
Also our training nights are at different times for each age group so this is also a benefit.
It is also hard for a parent to be involved and also watch your own if they play at the same time.
I think coaches that are the parent of an child in their team understand that there cannot be favoritism.
I know that our centre we have lots of coaches/ parents and know that there is no problem with this issue.
Also l want to add that sometimes l feel that l am maybe to harsh on my own children as l don’t want to give the opportunity for another parent to complain.

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)
