This is a great article in light of the tragedy that occurred in Utah. This is why we put this program together and want to not only give our athletes a positive experience in sport but everyone surrounding youth sport.

As soon as you know who your child's coach is going to be, introduce yourself, let him or her know you want to help your child have the best possible experience and offer to assist the coach in any way you are able. Meeting the coach early and establishing a positive relationship will make conversation easier if a problem arises during the season. - Responsible sports weekly parent tip
