[quote=Anonymous]Normal. But ridiculously annoying and happens with our travel team 1x/year. To the coach, the team and the tournament is all that’s going on. Somehow it’s easy for them to forget that for the other 20/hours per day they’re not with our kid, we’re actually doing other things, not just waiting around for practice.

My Dd does gymnastics and the last minute requests have asking at 7:30 pm for a specific pair of Nike leggings to be worn at 8:00 the next morning. I was driving to pickup and literally going in the direction opposite anywhere that had leggings. Fortunately DH was around and got to Dick’s right before it closed at 8.

I think a lot of people on this thread will say push back or to just ignore the coach, but in my experience they will often punish the athlete for it even though that’s totally out of their control.

If there’s a group text, send an SOS out. Maybe there is one parent who can find the right socks for all and you can Venmo them. Or maybe every parent will resist and show up with a different matching color that everyone already owns (we had a scrunchie situation like that). Our team has done but it requires solidarity and some parents are quick to grasp at any advantage they have, and live for stuff like sock drama.[/quote]
