If you add drive time for an away game you are talking about 10+ hours a week just for a player and his family. For a coach, you are talking a minimum of a part time job, with no pay. There are great benefits though, watching a team of raw recruits becoming a juggernaut. Watching the growth of individual kids and the progress they make. Dealing with all the caring, loving parents, (they are ALWAYS pleasant).

I was not an official coach but I helped coach most practices. The child I was hardest on was my son, if he goofed off he ran, if he did not pay attention he ran as I coached another kid in is position. I have a 104 pound 8 year old that was the 3rd fastest kid on a 1st 2nd grade team, when practicing defence, our center would have a hard time blocking him, so I would try to teach the center tricks and techniques to block my son. Not because I wanted him blocked but I wanted our center to be a better lineman. If they switched and the center/dt was having trouble with my son guard/nt then I would teach him dl techniques. If he started beating my son, I would teach my son what he was doing wrong, if he was not beating my son but he was wrong I would stop and instruct and vice verse. I don’t know why people have to show favortism, if your child cant cut it at practice and in the game work with them at home till they do.

Coach,

You’ve brought up good points. What are your thoughts about fathers coaching their children on the same team?

In the past I’ve had experience with professional coaches that can separate their relations with their children IOT coach a “team” concept.

However, during the past two seasons, we’ve experienced coaches taking care of their own in the expense of other talented kids that are on the same team.

Is it a good idea to implement a rule in youth football that prohibits coaches from coaching their children IOT mitigate conflicts of interests?
