“…A visit to a neighborhood field or gymnasium to study the interactions of youngsters, parents, and coaches will illustrate that point. The face validity of systems theory constructs becomes readily apparent” (Stainback & La Marche, 1998, p. 19). …”

The aim of this literature review is to describe and critique what is known about relations between parents and their athlete children in contemporary research. Athlete families are prevalent and in need of research based in family systems theory. I describe a typology of underinvolved, moderately involved, and overinvolved parents. I found themes of parental involvement, pressure, support, and family‐level issues. I conclude with suggestions for guiding research on sports parenting with family systems theory.

Parent spectator behaviors present significant challenges within the youth sports environment. The role of parents in the youth sport experience is often overlooked, despite its documented importance to the family’s youth sports experience. In order to better understand parental spectator behavior, a family systems approach guided an intervention study conducted within the state of Louisiana after a new law passed in 2019 to address these concerns. Using an adapted measurement version of the background anger instrument, results documented the role of education in addressing these concerns. The study prompts further examination of behaviors, in light of disparities between parent observations and their own personal behaviors. Implications for future intervention research on spectator behaviors and social work practice in the youth sport setting are highlighted.

“…To avoid the parent's emergency phone call, define the word emergency and establish business hours when parents can call with questions or concerns. Stainback and La Marche (1998) have several suggestions for positive, productive parent involvement: ■ Encourage parents to understand that fun and family should be emphasized in youth sports. ■ Talk with the parents to identify problems, dilemmas, or areas needing improvement.…”
