[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^anyways, I guess this is more of a vent, and it's less about soccer as it is about these parents who are living vicariously through their kids to this extent!  I think they feel like it's not an exclusive mean girl clique if it's just "oh well our kids are all on the same team so we always hang out saturday evenings after their games since we're all there anyways and the boys are friends!".  If they didn't have the team as the excuse, they'd struggle to not look like a weird middle aged mom clique.  I mean, one of them made shirts for the group last year that they all wore out to happy hour together after a tournament, with their kid's soccer numbers on the back.  I don't get it. [/quote]

I’ve seen this before and eventually it breaks down. How old are the kids? By 11/12, kids realize what’s happening. Some want to move on to different sports, some want to win and will look around and resent their parents and the coach for the composition of the team, and parents will realize that (gasp), the team is for the kids, and not for them.
