Little Players Often Need More Parental Support At Our Clinics

As you know, young children sometimes need extra support! 78 Youth Sports asks that parents help us ensure our clinics run smoothly.

Here are our Pretty Please Asks…

  • Parent Attendance
    • Please have someone attend and be responsible for your young person at every session. If you have to leave, please give the coach your cell phone number.
  • Parent Assistance
    • While our professional coaches run these clinics, we love parents who jump in and help!
    • And…for our season play, please consider volunteer coaching. 78 Youth Sports is a non-profit and relies on involved parents to help run our great community sports programs!
  • Behavioral Expectations and Rules.
    • We ask that you review 78 Code Of Conduct and prepare your child to listen, follow directions and participate. (Yes, much like school!)
    • If your child repeatedly disregards the rules, 78 will follow three steps.
      • First, we always work to help the child improve or change the unwanted behavior. If disregard continues, we will:
      • Second, the coach will give a “time out” to the child where he/she must sit with his/her adult.
      • Finally, in extreme cases, we will remove the child from the sessions altogether with no refund.
  • Disclose Any Health Or Behavioral Issues
    • Do this on our registration system in the ‘comments’ box and/or let the instructor know.
