I think every parent needs to think about their childs safety. All of our coaches have VOLUNTEERED many hours and know how to work with your child to one help him win but most of all to keep your child safe. For this reason, our club has implemented a Matside policy. "NO parents allowed matside for any reason", if you are caught down there, a coach will ask you to go to the stands, second time you will be asked to leave the tournament. This is not fair to the kids who have worked so hard all week to attend that tournament, which we do understand but our main responsibility is to THEIR childs safety. Parents if you want to coach, go get a card and go to practice EVERY night and learn what you are doing to make sure you are doing what is in their best interest.
