[quote=Anonymous]So much of ire on here is, rightly, focused on *some* parents of kids in travel soccer. We just played Great Fall Reston 2011 B team and watched their coach scream at and demean a bunch of 9 year old kids for a full hour. Some raw talent on that team but the coach is clearly “going through some things”. Referee had a few eye-rolls and choice comments to parents on the side-line but effectively no oversight on professionalism of coaches - other than parents. Screamed at every kid on his team, some of our team, and the ref, not a single positive or constructive comment all game. We tied them due to two dumb mistakes on their part, but no wonder given the pressure. We’d bail on a coach like that - and feel fortunate with our set-up - but makes you reflect how much latitude we are giving these adults to exhibit behavior with children that would be totally unacceptable in any other context.
