What are these kids there being made to be there and they're acting out there's not much he or she can do some parents want to try and control it all and want it their way ?

Thanks TP and Stui, I think I am going to try and stay involved somehow, parents have given me grief since it began so I am a bit worried about showing up there not the coach anymore. I have said we're taking the gear there so they can set it up, I'm not taking it back home. I may give this session a miss, just let them get started and then maybe go and watch next week.

Don't go and watch, that just creates the wrong impression. The parents see new coaches and you over in the background. Speak to the club and ask if the new coach(s) are happy to have you as an assistant, you'll defer to them as head coach(s) but you have a level of official status.

Then you walk in like you still own the joint, rock up to the new coaches and say"So coach, what are we doing and where do you want me?"

parents of kids at sporting clinics can be dickwads, they all think that their kid is special and different and the coach should be able to see that. Rolling Eyes

I spoke to the president today, well...after dad had a go at him, they don't want me to go Longman and Chivers know I will be there to learn to run the program. they were worried about the organising since I was only a young coach.

They said go whenever I want to, they'll know I am there and stuff. I am not going tomorrow.

I thought I'd let the new guys take the program over and have a session without me there so they can get stuck in. I think it might be cancelled as well, it's been very wet today.

Something that may work for you Davage - perhaps suggest to the "main coaches", that they send you over 2 kids at a time, separate from the main training drills, for you to actually teach them the mechanics of kicking and handballing.
This can be quite difficult to do when trying to keep training drills flowing - it can become a bit of "great kick Johnny", when you really want to stop and tell Johnny that he needs to hold the ball like this and drop it straight (or whatever....).

This has worked well for our group currently playing under 10's - a little bit of extra attention from an "assistant coach" has done wonders for some of the kids that really struggled when they started.
