Hi Janine,
I agree with all the other comments in support of mothers coaching their own daughters and also the option of speaking with club officials, attending a meeting or whatever it takes. Your club, it seems, is overreacting and penalising all because of the actions of ONE person?
Be very tactful,present a good argument and see if you can get some support from the other parents.
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.

This is a dangerous area for anyone to tread because like people have observed clubs need coaches and parents usually only want to coach their own children....
