Children should be encouraged
Children should be encouraged not belittled and told off in front of their team mates for the making of one mistake.
All coaches have to get the play by the rules certificate before they get their coaches pass and should be expected to follow the guidelines of this.
They are children after all not adults and they should be playing for enjoyment it's not win at all costs.
Too many juniors pull out of sports because of how they are teated by coaches and other parents on the sidelines.
I know that if a coach spoke to my child in this way that they would not be playing for that team any more by their choice.
I was discusted by what I heard across two courts at Morphettvale on Friday night and I hope that this never happens again.
LET THE CHILDREN PLAY
