Keep the coaches your club runs on.

A free, research-backed checklist showing club directors why good coaches burn out and leave, and the concrete moves that keep them.

What the research shows
  • 69% of youth sports coaches report feeling stressed.
  • Two-thirds say parents regularly criticize their coaching.
  • Coaches quit most over what clubs can fix: hostile parents, busywork, and feeling unsupported.
  • Most youth coaches are part-time and modestly paid, so income and a path to grow keep them.

Grounded in research from the Aspen Institute's Project Play, the Positive Coaching Alliance, and TrueSport.

What's inside

The Coach Retention Checklist walks through the nine levers that keep good coaches season after season: backing them against hostile parents, building real family relationships, cutting their busywork, paying fairly with extra ways to earn, a reliable back office, recognition, a path to grow, a sustainable role, and belonging. Each comes with the research behind it and the concrete actions to run it.
