[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what age is it appropriate then?

Maximizing player development requires a strong coach-player relationship. Obviously most coaches are complete bananas and miss this by mile. But players that trust their coach and know they have their coaches unconditional support will perform and develop better. Communicating with players is a necessity for this to happen. I know for certain the responses my daughter gives her coach when I'm present are vastly different than her responses/interactions when I'm not. This isn't to say things should not be monitored, just providing an observation.[/quote]

SafeSport = 18*

*Once a coach-Athlete relationship is established, a Power Imbalance is presumed to exist throughout the coach-Athlete relationship (regardless of age) and is presumed to continue for Minor Athletes after the coach- Athlete relationship terminates until the Athlete reaches 20 years of age.

Many organizations are a work in progress with this and parents should be asking questions just like OP. Yes, parents with different comfort levels are going to push about things others didn’t consider to be risky, but the overall safety for athletes can only benefit. Any organization under the umbrella of a National Governing Body for sport should have published policies for athlete protection and a process for oversight.[/quote]
