This is quite a dilemma Janine. We've tried both - if you deny parents the opportunity to work with their children you finish up struggling to find coaches, if you allow parents to coach their children you will inevitably receive the occasional complaint. My suggestion is that there are strict guidelines for coaching - a club policy to cover court time for each player and deal with any complaints quickly and openly - and that parents, coaches and managers are aware of the policy. If you have a club Coaching Convenor, part of their portfolio should be to keep an eye on these sorts of things.Personally I find it difficult to coach my own daughter, however I know many fine coaches who have done a marvellous job of coaching teams that included their daughters.Sue Adlam

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.
