[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, if the coach calls out your kid for not paying attention, distracting other players, etc., don't bad mouth him or her to the other team parents or complain that your child is being picked on.  The amount of abuse that these volunteer coaches take from whiny parents is disgusting.[/quote]
+1  I have seen a parent be abusive to a coach, threaten with lawsuits, all because the coach called out their son's bad behavior in private.    The coaches that we know are all parent volunteers.  I really felt badly for this one coach because a parent was threatening this coach with a lawsuit -- the parent is a lawyer. I'm grateful for these volunteers because the bully parents or uninvolved ones certainly wouldn't step up to volunteer.

My son is hardly the best player  on the team.. actually, probably the worst. But we make sure he cooperates and tries, that regardless of the fact that he's not a good player, his teammates still depend on him for something. It helps that some of his teammates are really nice to him even though he's not that good.[/quote]
