Parent coaching is fine as long as the coaches are qualified and that is the case there.

Coppermine has 2 of the 3 as parent coaches

Hero’s has parent coaches

Crush has parent coaches

Not ideal but sometimes unavoidable.

Oh Boy !!!! It is avoidable but clubs take the easy way out and have multiple parent coaches. That doesn't mean the coaches don't have a good resume. But very rarely can a parent coach be objective. Unless the parent coach's kid is not strong and doesn't play a lot or care about playing a lot (i know is the case in one team at M&D) there will be issues. The main issue is the coaches children taking up roster spots and playing time from better players. Not always but often. And both Heros and Crush parents have the same concern. believe me there are parents on the sideline who are just as qualified if not more than some of these parent coaches. Maybe it's a necessary evil ?!? But Anyone on this board saying it doesn't matter is either a parent coach of some kind themself or their child is not affected by a parent coach's kid. It's naive. It's all about playing time and opportunities and a parent coach's kid as 90% of the time given more of both . Look at the current teams in recruiting now. Maybe you'll all change your mind as you head in to recruiting. Parent coaching at $3k/ year team is just a bad bad idea
