Dressing DD with tights, no shorts, and shin guards on over the tights.
Going onto the field to treat an injured player.
Putting your chair right on the sideline itself.
Sending DD to practice with no water.
Showing up chronically late to practice as though it will wait for your DD.
Letting younger sibling wander onto the field during a game because it seems cute.
Telling the coach how he/she should be coaching.
Cheering by coaching from the sidelines.
Under dressing for cold games.
Thinking Muldoon Farms is a good venue for soccer.

Requesting advice on "head butting" the ball.
Not knowing the rules of the game or any terminology whatsoever.

Set your chair a few yards back from the touch line on the side of the field that is across from your team's bench and stay there. Politely suggest to the other parents they do the same. Don't switch to the other side of the half-way line where the parents of the other team are hopefully sitting to cheer your Ayden on. Ayden will be fine. And the parents of both teams will have a much more enjoyable experience watching their children play.

This doesn’t bother me. I love seeing other people’s relatives cheer excessively and it’s refreshing to see people not take the game so seriously. It’s a nice reminder that we are watching young kids play a game.
