Hello Schwaben Parents,

We are happy to announce we are hosting a powerful presentation on "WHAT IS THE ROLE OF TODAY'S SOCCER PARENTS". This session is actually continuing education for parents as it relates to more than just sports in today's society. The discussion will be interactive, stimulating and filled with great information. Research reveals amazing facts about how parents across the country are raising their kids today and why our behaviors are holding back our children's emotional growth. This session helps parents to understand why their desire to talk to coaches about playing time, yell at officials, or coach from the sideline are impeding the development of their favorite soccer player in the world, their own son or daughter.

Please note this is a MANDATORY PARENT EDUCATION NIGHT for all parents. April 11th: Registration 5:15 - 5:45pm, Presentation 6pm - 7:15pm Schwaben Banquet Hall - 301 N Weiland Rd, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089
