Parents in Sport Week, 3rd to 9th October 2016

Parents in Sport week aims to highlight the important role that parents play in preparing and supporting young people and children throughout their development as young athletes. 
​
There are a number of things that Areas, volunteers and even participants can do to promote Parents in Sport Week:

• Show parents the ‘My Magic Sports Kit’ video (above)
• Show examples of positive parental behaviour on social media
• Promote Parents in Sport Week on social media, local newsletters
• Set up information session for parents on training plans and how they can support their child’s learning and development
• Speak to children and ask them about their own experiences, what motivates them or what creates the greatest enjoyment when participating in Community Games events?
• Speak to older athletes about how their parents supported them- this could form part of a project for the Steps to Health
• Organise a family Barbeque or fun day with awards for parents
• Be a role model!
