The aim of the research project was to gain an in-depth understanding of how children, coaches, and parents in youth soccer perceive parental support. In a preliminary study, a questionnaire was developed to assess satisfaction with parental support and sideline behavior in soccer. The multisection questionnaire was adapted to all three parties of interest—children, parents, and coaches—and administered to 260 parents, 196 coaches, and 111 male players aged 12–14 years across different clubs to identify factors influencing satisfaction with parental behavior across all three groups. Factor analysis led to a revised version of the questionnaire, emphasizing the importance of emotional support. The revised questionnaire was implemented in two consecutive field studies. Samples were drawn from an amateur youth soccer setting (Study 2, N = 316, players aged 8–13 years) and a professional youth academy (Study 3, N = 209, players aged 9–16 years). Overall, results indicate children and parents were highly satisfied with parental support and sideline behavior but coaches’ satisfaction differed significantly. The discussion therefore includes all three perspectives and provides recommendations on how to improve the coach–parent relationship and professional engagement with parents.

该研究项目的目的是深入了解青少年足球中的儿童、教练和父母如何看待父母的支持。在一项初步研究中，开发了一份问卷来评估对父母支持和足球场边行为的满意度。多部分调查问卷适用于所有三方利益——儿童、父母和教练——并针对不同俱乐部的 260 名父母、196 名教练和 111 名年龄在 12-14 岁之间的男性球员进行调查，以确定影响父母行为满意度的因素三组。因素分析导致了问卷的修订版，强调了情感支持的重要性。修订后的问卷在两个连续的实地研究中实施。样本来自业余青少年足球环境（研究 2，N = 316，8-13 岁的球员）和职业青年学院（研究 3，N = 209，9-16 岁的球员）。总体而言，结果表明孩子和家长对父母的支持和副业行为非常满意，但教练的满意度差异很大。因此，讨论包括所有三个观点，并就如何改善教练与家长的关系以及与家长的专业互动提供建议。
