Youth soccer is about much more than practices, games, and scores. At its best, it helps children develop confidence, resilience, teamwork, and a lifelong love of being active and challenged.
At the Soccer Association of Boca Raton (SABR Soccer), we believe that parents and guardians play a role in youth development that is just as important as coaches and the players themselves. When adults are informed, aligned, and supportive, children benefit — both on and off the field.
That belief is why SABR provides its member families with access to the Soccer Parent Resource Center, a comprehensive education platform created specifically for youth-sports parents.
What Is the Soccer Parent Resource Center?
The Soccer Parent Resource Center is an online hub designed to help parents better understand how to support young athletes throughout their soccer journey.
The platform brings together expert guidance, practical tools, and shared experiences to strengthen the connection between parents, coaches, and players. Topics extend well beyond tactics and training, focusing instead on the broader developmental experience of youth sports.
Content available through the Resource Center includes:
- Hundreds of articles, interviews, and expert advice tailored to youth soccer parents and guardians.
- Courses and video content — from coaching-family relationships to supporting children’s mental and physical development on and off the field.
- Monthly webinars, live workshops, and community discussions that help parents and guardians learn, connect, and share experiences with each other.
- A platform to build a collaborative social type of environment between coaches, parents, clubs, and players — because we all know when all adults work together, kids thrive.

Why Parent Education Matters in Youth Soccer
Youth sports — especially soccer — are about far more than goals, saves, wins, and loses. They’re about growth, teamwork, confidence, and lifelong love for the game. Here are just a few reasons why the Portal is so valuable:
- Informed support: Whether you’re new to youth soccer or a seasoned sideline parent, the Portal helps you understand how to positively encourage your child without unintentionally adding pressure. Something none of us want and is never intended.
- Stronger parent–coach–player relationships: Clear communication and shared expectations set the stage for a healthy, respectful, and supportive soccer community during all games and practices.
- Holistic development: The resources address not just soccer skills and performance, but also mental resilience, motivation, sportsmanship, and long-term growth long after your player is done playing on our fields.
- Community and belonging: Being part of a group of like-minded parents and coaches makes your child’s soccer journey more enjoyable overall and even more, helps you feel supported too.
At SABR Soccer, our shared goal is to help your child love the game, grow as a player — and also grow as a person. The Soccer Parent Resource Center is here to support you in that very mission. By giving parents and guardians access to quality resources and a supportive community, we in-turn create a stronger, more aligned support system for all our athletes.
Take a few moments today to sign up and see what’s available. We believe you’ll find tools, insights, and community that help your child as well as your whole family have a much more rewarding soccer experience.
Play on, Soccer families!
