If your school hires a male head coach for their girls varsity team, do you think its necessary to have an assistant female coach? |

I would love some help here. Researching the gender issue in regards to male coach vs female coach and the interactions and tone they set for female athletes and the athletes responds to them |

I THINK IT WOULDN'T REALLY MATTER THAT MUCH TO HAVE A ASSISTANT FEMALE COACH. I USUALLY USE A TEAM MOM. BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO PROTECT YOURSELF (GUYS). |

Our high school had experienced this situation in the past and always provided female supervision (in the absence of a female coach) for women's sports teams. It is critical that a female be designated responsible for supervisional purposes in the locker room and when traveling overnight. It is wise and a proactive move to ensure a female is availabe to meet the needs of women athletes in personal hygeine situations. We always sought a qualified female for the role of assistant AD if the AD was male. In the absence of a female coach on staff the female AD would provide supervisional coverage in the locker room. If the head coach is male because a qualified female coach was not available, you will be wise to seek a qualified assistant female coach to ensure your female athletes receive appropriate supervision. In the same arena, if a male PE teacher teaches a coed class when a female PE teacher is not scheduled to teach during that time (planning)we arranged to pay a female teacher to supervise the locker room during the time the girls were present. The teacher was present ten minutes the beginning and end of class. She was responsible for opening the locker room door, and locking it once the girls left for class. At no time were the girls left unsupervised while in the locker room. It is considered a safe, and best practice. |

No I do not think so because I feel that when teaching females, gender does not matter. |

Last fall, I was the freshman girl’s soccer coach and the only time I felt uncomfortable with the student-athletes were the bus rides back to school. There was no point in the season that I being of the opposite gender, felt my coaching style was affected, or the way the girls played and practiced. The bus rides home however, could have been uncomfortable for any coach, male or female. The girls would be discussing what they were doing for the weekend. If I heard inappropriate language I would remind the girls that they were on a school sanctioned event and that type of language was not acceptable. The young ladies never objected to my requests to change the subject. I would coach girls again, and hopefully I have that opportunity in the future. |
