Not sure what you need?

You’re in the right place.

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re a travel ball parent who cares deeply — and sometimes feels unsure how to help without adding pressure.

This page is here to make the next step simple.

If travel ball feels heavier than you expected…

You might be noticing things like:

  • Your player gets quiet or frustrated after games

  • Game days feel tense — for you, them, or both

  • You replay conversations in your head, wondering if you said the wrong thing

  • You want to support confidence without coaching, fixing, or pushing

None of this means you’re doing it wrong.

It means you’re navigating a part of the game most families were never taught how to handle.

Our recommendation (start here)

If you’re feeling unsure what to buy or where to begin, we recommend starting with one place:

Handling the Noise: The Parent Playbook

This is Fieldside’s core resource for travel ball parents.

It’s designed to help you:

  • Understand your role clearly

  • Reduce pressure without lowering standards

  • Use language that supports confidence

  • Give your player mindset tools they can use on their own

It includes:

  • Practical guidance for parents

  • Clear examples of what helps (and what doesn’t)

  • Simple player tools for confidence, focus, and resets

You don’t need to consume everything at once.
You can use it as situations come up — game days, slumps, tryouts, or tough stretches.

If you only need help on game days

If your biggest stress is before or after games — and you want something quick and simple — start here instead:

The Game Day Starter Pack

A short, focused resource for:

  • Pre-game nerves

  • Post-game emotions

  • Car ride conversations

This is a good fit if you want immediate support without diving into a full framework.

A quick note about players

Fieldside believes something important:

Parents protect confidence.
Players build skills.

That’s why our parent resources include tools players can use independently — without you needing to coach them or manage their mindset.

You’ll never be asked to become the mental coach.
Your role stays clear, supportive, and grounded.

Still not sure?

If you’re asking yourself:

  • “Am I helping or hurting?”

  • “Should I be saying more… or less?”

  • “How do I support growth without pressure?”

Then the Parent Playbook is the right place to begin.

We’ll help you take the next step — calmly and intentionally.
