We are proud to partner with the Soccer Parenting Association to make youth soccer better by providing clubs an important opportunity to educate and engage with their parents through the SoccerParentResourceCenter.com. NJYS member clubs in good standing are provided access to the full suite of Soccer Parenting Association resources, with the state association covering 80% of the costs (i.e. $100 annual commitment from the club).
If you are a club leader, contact [email protected] to communicate your interest and learn about onboarding for your club.
The SoccerParentResourceCenter.com is a website dedicated to educating youth soccer parents and coaches. Everything on the site is created specifically with youth soccer parents in mind.
For club administrators, you will gain access to "The Sideline Project," an engaging 15-minute on-line course for parents regarding appropriate sideline behavior. It provides parents a comprehensive understanding of the difference between supportive, distracting and hostile behavior so coaches and clubs can better ensure a positive sideline culture. Parents receive a Certificate of Completion they can present to the club.
For coaches, you will find quarterly live educational webinars, engaging educational opportunities related to establishing strong relationships with parents and players to support player development, as well as access to our private coach education interview series with some of the top youth soccer minds in the United States and Europe.
For parents, you will find interviews, live webinars, articles, courses, and short videos discussing issues related to youth soccer players such as mental performance, recovery, injury prevention, Laws of the Game, tactics, technical development, college recruiting, best practices for sports parenting and much more (including "The Sideline Project").
If you are a club leader interested in providing access to your club, contact Skye at [email protected] today to begin the quick and easy onboarding process.
