[quote=Anonymous]My boys played multiple sports starting in K. Even a decade and more ago, some parents left. The worst was when my youngest was in 1st, I stayed just for behavior management since the volunteer soccer coach had no assistant. Many of the kids’ behavior was outrageous and since I knew all of them I was able to stop kids who were wandering away, kicking balls intentionally into the woods or engaging in dangerous behavior. The parents actually had the nerve to complain that the coach didn’t have the behavior under control but she was doing everything right. She was just outnumbered and the kids lacked maturity. The loudest parents were the ones with the worst behaved kids. DH was also a coach for multiple sports over the years and saw a lot of parents drop off so I don’t think it’s egregious to drop off. But if you have a child with a behavioral issue, you should stay. And if you leave, you have no business criticizing a coach. Finally, DS is now a coach himself. He coaches 8 year olds and 100% are dropped off. I guess it’s the norm with busy parents.[/quote]
