The coach should do a better job communicating to the parents what’s acceptable, and the parents shouldn’t be talking to the kids. The delco parent told the Bethesda parent to shut up which sparks all of it, but the Bethesda mother who makes a b-line up the sideline to the parents…everyone just needs to be a better example and keep the focus on the kids.
Let’s remember that there’s a coach in the Bethesda program making an effort to bring competitive soccer to underserved areas of PG county and that some of these parents may not be as familiar with what is acceptable at very competitive levels of youth soccer.
Not making excuses, the parents were out of line and should be talked to. It’s a shame that they go out of their way to make the game all about them, and it’s a shame that their kids have to keep watching this happen.
Then why did the coach get tossed? And what was happening on the field that prompted parents to yell at the other team's player? It doesn't excuse the bad behavior, but I'm guessing something provoked it.
