Tips for Success: Kids need as few outside distractions as possible when participating in class. The coaches would prefer that the parents sit in the stands. This makes you very visible to the players on the field and you can see everything that is happening. Let your child know that they need to listen to the coach and follow directions during the class. The coach will let the parent know if he needs your help with a disruptive child. Also explain to your kids that touching or wrestling is not allowed. Try to show up at least 5 minutes before class starts. Kids react poorly to being late and it takes them a little while to get going
