Parents in Sport Week
“Parents in Sport Week” is all about enhancing parental involvement in sport and their support for young athletes.
Sessions will focus on how parents can greatly influence a child’s experience in sport through their actions, both positive and negative.
British Wrestling is one of around eighty organisations that are partnering with Child Protection in Sport (CPSU) to deliver local sessions tailored to particular sports and regions.
The 3 key outcomes of Parents in Sport Week will be: –
- to encourage sports organisations and clubs to promote the positive role parents play in helping children reach their full potential
- to empower parents by sharing information regarding key roles they can do as a sports parent in supporting their child’s participation, success and fun, and therefore retaining a child’s interest in sport
- to assist coaches and officials to understand the crucial role parents have in a child’s participation and continued involvement in sport
British Wrestling and the CPSU will be running two sessions in the week, one in the North West and one in London.
Do make a note of the week and there will be a website update and e-mail invitations sent when the detailed dates and venues are known.
