Parents play a vital role in youth sport. Parents in most cases introduce their child or children to sport, transport children to training and competitions, fund equipment and kits, and provide emotional support.
This guidance (PDF) aims to help coaches understand, support and educate parents, thereby enhancing parental involvement in youth sport.
