Where should parents sit?
Parents need to stay on their team’s side line between the top of each penalty area and ideally 3 yards back from the field. Per AYSO's Kids Zone , parents are encouraged not to instruct players during play. Parents 'coaching' all the way down the lines, behind the goals, and/or on the other team's side of the field is not allowed.
Where can coaches stand?
Coaches and players should remain in their technical area which starts one yard back from the touchline and extends ten yards on each side of the half way line. Coaches should not leave their technical area, or place themselves behind the goals, or venture to the opposite touchline with the parents to call out instructions. During a match, do not enter the field of play without the permission of the referee.
