My point is SOME parents are counter productive in practice room. So some clubs choose to ban all to stop this. SEK man u have a bronze card & i assume some coaching skills u should be allowed in. But to open the room up & let every parent in is not good for the wrestling club. Most wrestling practices are around 2 hours so that means that u have 22 hours a day minimum to coach your kid. Let the coaches have thier 2 hours. I Dont try to teach my boys any thing when someone that is more qualified is doing it. Let coaches coach. They dont come to your house & try to show you how to parent do they? Its a respect thing brother. I have seen one man coach a wrestling room of 50+ kids year in & year out & be the most productive practices I have ever witnessed. If any parents come out on the mat he tells them get off my mat or get out of here. It dont take a army of people to coach a wrestling room.
