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.
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.
If you’re feeling unsure what to buy or where to begin, we recommend starting with one place:
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 your biggest stress is before or after games — and you want something quick and simple — start here instead:
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.
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.
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.
