[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a laid back parent and like to cheer for the players, even if it's on the other team if it's a good play.  We have a parent that thinks he's Messi and can't wait to coach the kids, in fact he paces up and down the sidelines screaming in spanish/english at the kids (including his own).  Fearing for his health I told him to relax and let the coach....coach.  He said these kids aren't doing this right and how that's not the right way to play the ball.  He claims to have played college ball, but from the looks of him I can't even tell he went to college.  We had a tournament over the weekend and after the second game I could not take anymore.  I walked up and asked nicely that the families weren't comfortable with his sideline antics and that I personally felt the refs targeting out kids because of him.  He then asked who and I told him I was one and that was all that counted.  He took that as me trying to challenge him.  I walked away and on the second day he was a bit better, but still a nut job.  I don't know what else to do and none of the other families are doing anything but complaining to each other about his behavior.  Team manager is great, but chicken shit.  I don't want it to get violent, but I'll admit it has crossed my mind.  Coach has asked him to chill a few times with little improvement.

Before you judge, I've actually moved away a few times so I don't have to hear it, but when the players are actually acknowledging this idiot and looking away from the game it pisses me off.  [/quote]

If you're threatening violence, then you're not a laid-back parent. This is not hard. Send an email to the coach articulating your concerns (don't include the part about beating him up) and ask the coach to address it. If the coach won't address it, take it up with the TD. If he won't address it, then find a new club. Simple. And that "chicken shit" manager you dumped on? He or she isn't paid to manage the parents. He or she has volunteered his or her time to handle paperwork and communications so you don't have to. Don't like the job he or she is doing, feel free to step up and volunteer to take it over, you asshat.[/quote]
