Team Parents (AKA Team Moms, Team Administrators), Coaches and Youth Sports Administrators

Have you recently been asked or volunteered to be a Team Parent? A coach? Join the Board of Directors? If so, do you feel clueless about your responsibilities? Many of us have found ourselves thrust into these important roles wondering what we have gotten ourselves into and are looking for guidance and advice. By the time the season is over, it is usually a different story: by then you have undoubtedly gained a lot of knowledge that you are eager to share.

The Team Parent /Coach/Administrator Channel of YouthSportsParemts will be a place for sharing that information. As you learn new short cuts and tricks and about the pitfalls to avoid, we hope you will share them with other YouthSportsParemts parents, coaches and club or league administrators. This is your community!
