Yep, getting them involved can help.  With some individual sports, parents may
even take it up, because of their kids, and it often works out well for
everyone.  Other parents simply volunteer.  Athletics is one individual sport
where parents frequently get involved, either because of their kids, or their
previous participation got their kids hooked. :)
