so i can ask the coach to intervene? the kid is excessively doing it - on and off the field.

i can't imagine any parent would be ok with this, not as bad as cursing of course, but to me it's just as unacceptable whether on the field - bad sportsmanship, or off the field - bad manners.[/quote]

No.  If he is doing it excessively, the coach knows about it and [b]if the coach thought it was a problem, the coach would have dealt with it.[/b]  And, obviously some parents are OK with it given that the spitter's parents know about it and don't feel compelled to correct it.  [/quote]

that's bull. what's ok with coach is not necessary ok with all the parents. parenting doesn't stop just because another adult is in charge of DS for an hour, not at this age anyway.[/quote]

You are missing the point. The coach and parents are both there seeing the same spitting that OP is. If the coach had a problem from a coaching point of view, he would say/do something. If the parents had a problem they would say/do something. Neither feel this needs to be addressed (at least in public). Given that OP is just there as a teammate's mom she has no authority when both the parents and coach are present. If the child spit around or near me I would certainly ask him not to and tel him I thought it was gross but beyond that it isn't OPs place to deal with the spitting.[/quote]
