I doubt your child would be held from a team because of your behavior; however, you can make your child, your child\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaching_jobs\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaching_jobs\">coach<\/a>, and the people around you much happier if you follow these rules for tryout etiquette:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep your mouth shut.<\/strong> Your child is not playing in a game, so you don\u2019t need to cheer. If parents insist on being at their child\u2019s tryout, they should be seen and not heard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At a recent tryout, I observed&#8211;and clearly heard&#8211;one dad instructing his daughter loudly from the top row of the bleachers. As she played various positions on the field, he yelled comments and criticisms about her play. I felt very bad for this high school player and sensed her embarrassment. <em>Seriously, Dad? Just shut up<\/em>!<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n<li><strong>Keep your distance<\/strong>. If you insist on watching the tryouts, do it from a distance. Your presence alone may increase your child\u2019s nervousness, so try to stay in the background as much as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n<li><strong>Keep from pestering the coach<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>Resist the temptation to ask how your child did, how\u2019s the team looking, and any other questions that are masking what you really want to ask: <em>will my child make the team? <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaching_jobs\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/coaching_jobs\">Coach<\/a> may or may not know at that point how your child looks; he probably has to spend some time thinking about what he saw in tryouts.

I can\u2019t tell you how many times I was nervous for my kids as they tried out for teams, but I knew that expressing my own nervousness would add to their stress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n<li><strong>Keep Trying<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>If your child makes the team, congratulations! Now, the fun begins. However, if your child was cut, encourage your child to keep trying. Look for other teams where he can play and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/benefits_of_private_coaching\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/benefits_of_private_coaching\">continue improving<\/a>. I\u2019ve known many kids who were cut from a team, only to come back and make the team the next year. And even if he doesn\u2019t want to try out for that same team again, encourage him to find other leagues or teams where he can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/all-sports\/\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/all-sports\/\">play the sport<\/a> he loves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How about it?
