Parents of Kids in Sports

This blog will serve as a place to comment or to ask questions about personal experiences as parents of kids that participate in community and school sports. We will discuss rules, crazy parents that over react because their son or daughter doesn't get enough playing time or is not the starting shortstop/pitcher/point guard. We will also offer advice, address questions about why coaches make some of the decisions they do and try to make sense out of the "unwritten" politics of youth sports

Welcome to My Blog!

Welcome to my blog! I started this blog to serve as a place to discuss personal experiences of parents in dealing with other parents, coaches, and players that are involved with their children in youth sport activities. Discussions about all sports are encouraged. This is going to be a great place to vent your frustrations with a coach, other parents, or to ask questions about a rule that you do not fully understand. Please feel free to post ideas for fundraising and any other tips or tricks to help parents, coaches, and administrators create a positive social and athletic experience for all involved. Let's get started...

My Little League Organization does a Great Job

Kids definitely come first at our little league. The administrators, coaches and parents really do a great job all year long supporting most of the projects that come up. The kids (and parents) are on a rewards system based on points earned through participation. This has been very successful as more people than ever are volunteering to work in the stand and to help clean up the grounds when necessary. What does your little league do to help increase parental participation?

Hey, I am currently working for a company called Respect in Sport. Respect in Sport is an online program owned by the American Red Cross that teaches coaches/volunteers on things like the signs of abuse, bullying and neglect as well as how to be a positive role model and create a great experience for their players. If you would like more information, please feel free to email me at kmcguire@crossconfirm.com. Please say that you got the information from this blog so I know if taking time to blog is helping or not. Thanks
