• Ellyse Perry supports Let Kids Be Kids

    27s

    Ellyse Perry from the Southern Stars talks about when sport stops being fun for kids when parents behave badly.

I had team mates or members of the opposition sometimes abused by their parents or family members for not doing as well in a game as what they might have liked. That was always quite upsetting for everyone involved on the field because the game stopped being about fun and way more about trying to be the best player out there - which, I think, as a kid you just want to enjoy it and learn.
