How big is the field that you can't just sit close to the middle?

Why helicopter over your kid?
You think they won't be fine without your amateur overshadowing?

Because it's crowded in the middle and I don't want to have to put up with bs small talk. I'd like to watch the game in peace. Why does it even matter to you?

If he plays college or goes pro, do you buy front row tickets on both ends of the field so you can switch at halftime?

We're not talking about college or pro are we?

No, we're talking about helicopter parents with bad sideline behavior

1000% I will walk down to the other side to watch my kid if most of the possession is in the other half. The reason I will do that is because the last reason I'm at that game is to worry about you not wanting me to walk down a sideline. I'm there for my kid and to be supportive. How sensitive can you be? It's no wonder most of you folks can't handle this environment and lose your minds. Oh, and there is one other reason...because I LOVE winding up adults who still aren't able to move on from their favorite middle school behaviors. See ya on your side!

I guess that makes me a helicopter parent, but I have never heard that term and I'm not sure why you would think that would bother me. I also don't wear the matching shirts and go to the team dinners with all the other adults. I'm there for my kid to be a good parent instead of being with my clique.

This is the classic narcissism of the "sports parent". This isn't your goal, your team, your win. This is your kid's goal, team, win and they don't need your support. You really need to think and understand this. It's your kid's experience not yours. All of you crazy parents are really all about yourself and won't let your kids have this experience in peace.

I'm there because my kid asks me to be there you clown. I'm supporting them. It isn't about needing anything; it's about being a good parent. Stop preaching...it's embarrassing. I certainly don't utilize all of my free time and free money, every week, every weekend watching my kids play travel ball for me. I like woodworking and golf. Piss off.

You should be embarrassed the way you are acting.

We're not though and could care less what you Karen's think. So keep getting bothered by us standing on the "wrong" side while we enjoy watching our kids play.

Ever notice the soccer knowledgeable parents with kids who are top players don't helicopter them at games and training?

Ever notice a gross exaggeration from someone who can't possibly know what is happening outside of their small bubble?

Who's in a bubble?
Where's the bubble?
What's in the bubble?

1.Avoid coaching your kids and giving them any instructions during the game. They have enough to think about while they play.

2.Never ever comment on another child’s play, whether a kid is on your team or another team.

3.No negative comments are to be made to the referee at any time.

4.Applaud good play and sportsmanship by both teams.

5.View the other team’s parents as partners on a journey that you wish to help.

6.Never criticize another parent’s behavior at any time. If conversations are needed, leave them to the coach.

7.You are likely to have guest players at different times for a variety of reasons. Please always treat guests with the upmost respect and kindness.

8.If you have comments on playing time, keep them in your head and have the conversation privately with the coach. In doing so, know that as soon as you mention any other kid rather than your own, the conversation ends.

9.At the end of the game, respectfully applaud the other team and the referee.

10.On the car ride home, the only thing you should ever say is “I enjoyed watching you play today.” Never get into your expert thoughts on their development.

11.If you feel the need to talk with the coach, they should always be open to calm and considered discussion on your child and his/her development. Note these conversations are best held in a calm, reasoned manner and that they probably have more expertise in coaching so their thoughts may be worth hearing.

12.Realize learning is not linear and it is okay if they were great last week and not so good this week. Professional teams struggle with consistency and youth players may struggle too.

Ahhh see! The 12 commandments doesn't say, "doeth no helicoptering"! Coming to your side!

You helicopter and stalk the kid up and down the field because of your insecurities.

It's not about the kid, its about the attention you seek and need for your low self-esteem

It is "could not care less." That means you do not care. "Could care less," means you care A LOT.

Why can't all of you self proclaimed geniuses get something so simple correct?

Oh, and lol, ha ha, you're hilarious.

And for what it’s worth, your kid shouldn't want/need daddy or mommy constantly standing down where they play. It shows a supreme lack of confidence and ability to function on their own. It's a huge red flag in their sporting and emotional development as a person.

A Karen and the grammar police. Don't worry about what we do, mind your business.

Anger management should be needed for some of you. I'd be fine with clubs, coaches, and refs living parents off the field and not coming back without a signed note that you'd been through and management.

I certainly don't utilize all of my free time and free money, every week, every weekend watching my kids play travel ball for me. I like woodworking and golf. Piss off.

You should be embarrassed the way you are acting.

We're not though and could care less what you Karen's think. So keep getting bothered by us standing on the "wrong" side while we enjoy watching our kids play.

It is "could not care less." That means you do not care. "Could care less," means you care A LOT.

Why can't all of you self proclaimed geniuses get something so simple correct?

Oh, and lol, ha ha, you're hilarious.

And for what it’s worth, your kid shouldn't want/need daddy or mommy constantly standing down where they play. It shows a supreme lack of confidence and ability to function on their own. It's a huge red flag in their sporting and emotional development as a person.

The first three paragraphs are a huge red flag that you shouldn't be providing parenting advice to adults.

Your wife doesn't seem to mind.

My DS started playing travel here two years ago, 2022, when we had just moved from out of state. It was a serious culture shock. All I could think was "Where are we???" I could not believe what an awful community we had moved to and I literally just wanted to move back because of the aggressive soccer parents and aggressive everything-parents in NOVA. My son was initially placed too highly by the coaches (he was very athletic 10yr old, but hadn't played travel/ club before) and the other parents ON OUR OWN TEAM were absolutely brutal to him and to us. I have never been more proud of my child that he stuck with the game through that. He was the worst player on the team that year (as the other parents often liked to remind us), but he just kept working hard and didn't give up. Seriously, sooo proud. Two years later, the parent who was the biggest jerk has now had his kid dropped down a team, while mine moved up. I wish I could say it made me feel better, but really I just feel bad for the kids who go home with these parents. What are they trying to achieve??

It’s a terrible culture. Live and die with the result on the weekend.

If I pay this much, my kid deserves to be treated like soccer royalty regardless of their efforts and contribution
