I am a mentor of two camogie teams, my daughters U11's and my nieces U16. I have to admit I can be hard on my daughter but I have a wonderful set of mentors who make sure fairness reigns. I realise that when she comes to say U13 it's for the best to bow out. Our club policy is to rotate after U12 all mentors. to also ensure coaches are correctly accredited to enable them to move to different teams if they wish. But from U8 up to U12 to be honest it wouldn't be practical without the involvement of parents. Its hard on the siblings but at her age we have a few teams and I don't coach hers at match times. You got to be fair to her, yourself and especially the entire team.
But even with these policies and attitudes there is strife and grief.
