No announcement yet.
Are there any MA clubs that are 100% non-profit and volunteer run/coached?

Now I see the reason for all the lesbian coaches...is there a wave of homosexuals on the way for the men’s side?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBravo for trying and not letting your ego get in the way. Unfortunately not enough parent coaches have the insight to do so. As the poster said it also just raises so many eyebrows in an environment where parents are already on high alert for any hint of favoritism or possible disadvantage for their kid. From club management perspective I'm not sure it's worth it. Coaching is a tough job when you have a busy family. I know plenty of coaches who have dropped out because the schedules become untenable. It is something you can easily return to later on if you want, or you can make good scratch as a ref with less of a commitment.
So, it CAN be done, but you have to realize what your limitations are (and we all have them) and how they fit into a certain activity.
I don't miss it one bit, personally...

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI was the OP who mentioned tapping out. I will say on the flip side, my brother coached my niece in two sports for a while, and soccer until she got to HS. I don't think it was a problem, but he had the mindset to be able to separate it. He also coached in college (different school than she went to).

Best to just avoid it, and sorry to the few who could've done it.

Great discussion guys, thank you. I'm running a volunteer club that has been 100% parent coached until I got involved. We now have our second non-parent coach enlisted and I'm working on more!
