The Iceberg System
Equipping Parents And Coaches To Best Support Their Youth Athletes
Parents & Coaches Mean Well But…
__________
Youth sports have become so competitive that many adults are inadvertently damaging their athlete’s experience by:
- Coaching their unreceptive kids on the car ride home.
- FOMO: Registering their kids for extra training despite needing a night off.
- Coaches choosing to use unbalanced playing time to get the win.
- Allowing some kids to play through mistakes while others get benched.
- Continually shouting instructions to athletes from the sidelines or stands.
- Encouraging kids to specialize in their sport at an early age.
What Makes The Iceberg System Different?
__________
It’s a curriculum of short online courses for parents & coaches of 3rd-8th grade athletes. Parents take one 30-minute course per year.
Each course has unique tools to help you quickly implement new ideas and insights into your sports parenting or coaching.
All courses are updated yearly with the latest research and expert recommendations and adapted based on participant feedback.

FAQs
Have Questions?
Is parent & coach participation optional or required?
Parent & coach participation is required.
Iceberg Sports Education partners with youth sports organizations to make a lasting impact on kids’ sports experiences.
Most adults don’t realize they need sports parent or coach education, so if it’s optional, participation is poor. Our software tracks individual’s course progress and completion.
How do the 4 courses work together?
The 3 parent courses are designed like a school curriculum. Organizational parents take ONE course per year. They are also encouraged to watch the course for coaches.
Organizations can choose from two different ways to implement The Iceberg System.
1. Start the program in all grades (3rd-8th).
2. Start the program with one grade the first year, add another grade the second year, and add the third grade the third year. For example:
- Year 1: 4th grade
- Year 2: 4th & 5th grades
- Year 3: 4th – 6th grades
- Year 4+: 4th-6th grades
What if a family joins our organization after 3rd grade / 9U?
If a family joins your organization after 3rd grade / 9U, they will start with course 1 and progress one course per year.
How much time and effort will it take to implement?
It will take about an hour of time in total for your organization to implement The Iceberg System.
