[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swim and gymnastics we weren’t allowed to stay (especially post Covid). So my kids were 7 when I was dropping off there, but those are paid coaches.

Rec soccer, after I got to know the coach, I would sometimes leave starting at age 5/6 if I had to run another kid somewhere, but my son is awesome about direction following and again, I knew the coach

Once my son was on pre-travel they asked the parents to leave. I stayed in my car until I knew how everything was run and knew my son had my number memorized, he was 7.

Dance- I only stayed when class was an hour, because it didn’t make sense to leave and come back.

I can’t think of a single time my kids needed me in any of those practices except for injuries in gymnastics. In which case, coaches called and we came and picked up (or not if she was fine).

If a rec coach needs parents to stay, they should absolutely tell parents that, because unless my kid is out of control, I would assume they have it handled. (Or I would offer to volunteer if there was no co-coach! [b]I think two coaches is the minimum)[/b].[/quote]

Solo coach of rec soccer here with a roster of 14 kids age 6-7. No, every organization does not have more than one coach. [/quote]

Oh interesting- all of my kids rec teams had at least two coaches.  And if one of them was not at a practice for whatever reason, they would ask for another parent's help.  If it is just one adult, that changes everything- no way would I leave in that case[/quote]

Wow, that is a lot for the league to put on one person. Thank you for doing that PP, I hope the parents appreciate you. [/quote]
