Inspiring players by empowering parents.

Soccer Parenting Association

The mission of the Soccer Parenting Association is to inspire players by empowering parents. We believe youth soccer parents will be difference makers when it comes to improving the game and we believe a more collaborative environment between coach, parent, club, and player is in the best interest of player development. Providing a positive youth sporting experience where all children feel inspired, develop important life skills, and establish healthy habits that they will take with them for life is our top priority. 

At the Soccer Parenting Association:

  • We believe youth soccer parents will be difference makers when it comes to improving the game.

  • We believe when parents seek information about how to best support their players, great things will happen.

  • We believe a collaborative environment between coach, parent, club, and the player is in the best interest of player development.

  • We believe a strong and supportive community of level-headed and like-minded parents and coaches will inspire players.

 
 

The Soccer Parent Resource Center seeks to improve and enhance the experience for youth soccer players by engaging and supporting the players’ parents on topics related to the Body, Mind, Coach, Parent, Next Level, and the Game as well as providing coach education related to establishing positive relationships with players and parents.

In here, you will find monthly webinars for parents, articles, and interviews with tips and advice, guidance and support, and an engaging Community forum to help you support your child in soccer.

Value Statements

ACTIVE HEALTH

We acknowledge the importance of long-term athlete development and we understand that youth sports participation supports an active lifestyle; the longer children continue to play sports, the more likely they are to be healthy and active adults.

COACH INTEGRITY

We acknowledge the positive impact a coach can make on a child's life, and we commit to holding coaches to a high standard of integrity, professionalism, and compassion so our children feel optimistic about their potential, even in the face of defeat.

LIFE LESSONS

We support our children's youth soccer participation because we want them to develop grit, determination, and resiliency while learning the empathy, compassion, and solidarity that will make them caring and committed adults.

 

SOCCER KNOWLEDGE

We foster our children's love of soccer by seeking to educate ourselves about the rules, nuances, and intricacies of the game.

LOVE OF THE GAME

We acknowledge that every child has varying levels of athletic potential and we seek to establish an environment where ALL children can play youth soccer because they LOVE TO PLAY, not because they want a college scholarship or a professional contract.

BALANCED OUTLOOK

We seek to use a clear perspective when making soccer choices for our children, ensuring the decisions are in the best interest of the child's long-term happiness, contentment, and positive attitude.
