HS sports and complaining parents

LAX
My son came to public school from a small private.

Tried out 9th grade made varsity.


By 10th grade parents were stopping him in the parking lot to complain he took their sons spots. It was awful.

Our coach truly had no strategy, provided no feedback or guidance, let queen bees rule practice, and did not play the best players (not even talking about my own kid, there were other girls on the team that were low drama, hard workers, and far better players than some of the starters).

And I never ever complained about the coach to other parents. It was what it was. Everyone who cared about the sport competitively just put their head down and made it work until club season started back up.

You're just completely delusional. Her HS team was bad because all players on the team were bad.

The part where she wrote her DD often joked went right over your head.

My biggest complaint - the years when parents would criticize the kids during the game. "What is she doing? How did she miss that ball? etc". The attitude in the stands changed so much for the better once the kids of those parents weren't on the team anymore.
