We Listen to the Children

Listen carefully to your child’s concerns by asking for clarification — listening is a skill we often overlook. Avoid stepping in to solve the problem; instead, support and encourage your child to find their own solution.

Assure them that you will stand by their decisions. Guide them in clearly expressing the issue to their coach. Help your child understand their athletic goals and the lessons learned through football. 

Teach them commitment to their team and be aware of your own responsibilities toward the team.
