Teams/clubs that allow parent assistant coaches..

[Guest]

Even when a parent coach is qualified, to the club it's usually not worth the blowback from other parents. Even when a parent coach goes out of their way to not be biased in any way, parents will still think the coach is biased.

The original quote was about an assistant. So someone helping with trainings and covering the rare occurrence that a HC can't make it.
This person probably then has less influence than the board member whose kid plays who hires the HC. Or the close friend of the board member and so on. Especially if they are a higher experience coach than what we all normally see peddling influence.

As long as it's a rare thing and the parent assistant isn't a regular sideline feature its ok. If a coach is running late and a game is supposed to start you need some adult in charge

Just as bad is the team manager who tilt the scale for their child. FC Bucks is loaded with them.

FC bucks is known as FC Daddio for good reason!
