[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the parents should be involved in monitoring behaving and removing if needed. When I’m doing it - it’s volunteering and usually because no one else including that parent is willing to do it. 
I have “threatened” to go get the kid’s parents if the kid couldn’t follow directions but I don’t think I’ve had to go get them - I think the kid has shaped up after that. Personably I think the parent should have been paying attention so I wouldn’t have had to get them because that takes away coverage from the other kids etc. when I have to leave. I’m annoyed at the parent in those situations but cest la vie.

The parents should know we notice this and it may factor in, in future decisions such as who is on the team etc. [/quote]
As a parent, I would not step in to discipline my child at practice because to me it seems like it's undermining your authority as a coach.  I would expect you to tell my kid to take a few minutes away, I'm totally fine if you talk to me either during or after the practice, but I would not feel comfortable calling my kid to me for a discussion during your practice.

I don't mind any kid (good, bad, indifferent players) except for the misbehaved and disruptive ones.  Parents that know their kids could be disruptive need to stick around and be ready to pull your kid aside or even take them home if needed.  This has nothing to do with interferting with the coaches authority and realizing that a volunteer mom or dad coach isn't there to discipline your kid or even deal with a disruptive kid.

Ideally, if feasible, the parent of a disruptive child could consider volunteering to be an assistant coach or team parent so they could more directly help their child if needed.[/quote]
