Understanding your role as parents in youth sports.
Youth sport has the potential to provide our children with: a life-long appreciation for fitness, self-confidence, physical skills and virtues associated with sportsmanship. However, studies show that these attributes are not inherent in sport. They must be taught and reinforced.
In this two-hour, interactive workshop, participants will learn what it means to be a 'Good Sport Parent' and how we can take steps to ensure that the potential benefits of youth sport are being realized.
Workshop themes will include:
 |
Evolution of organized youth sport and sportsmanship - what sport was intended to do |
|
The impact of poor sportsmanship on your child, your family and your community |
|
Ugly Parent Syndrome - what is it? |
|
Putting 'play' back into youth sports - where is the laughter? |
|
Identifying the priorities of youth sport - everyone can be a winner |
|
A change in attitude - steps toward change |
Reality check:
Experts say, it's not because of organized youth sports that children make it to the big leagues - but in spite of it…
Who should Attend:
|
Parents of children participating in youth sport programs |
|
Parents who are considering when and what sports are appropriate for their children |
|
Parents concerned with the problems facing youth sports today |
|
Other supporters of the youth sport participant: grandparents, friends, aunts, uncles, etc... |
