[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can compare Arlington travel and Arlington rec as i have girls in both programs and the travel parents are barely under control.  They yell at their own girls to the coaches annoyance and often provide sideline advice to other players. At rec games, parents are mostly socializing and enjoying the day. At least for high school girls, the rec players just enjoy playing the game that day. They laugh on the field a lot. And, that's OK because it is recreational.[/quote]

on our boys Arkington travel team, we have a couple dads shouting direction to players that are NOT their son.  I was very close to popping one dad in the mouth for his loud 'pass' at kids that weren't his own child before anyone knew what the player would do.

Shut the f@ck up on the sidelines. I cringe for another player whose father screams at him 90% of the game.  The kid is visibly tense.[/quote]

I've seen that happen, too, but usually b/c the kid is a ball hog that thinks he's the next Messi and loses the ball every time b/c he keeps it until 3 people are on him.  I think once it happens, say 40 times in a season, the parents get frustrated and tell him to PASS. THE. BALL.

But I totally get your point :)  I can't imagine shouting direction to someone else's kid.  I cringe at the thought.  (I just mutter silently to myself, instead... :))

Coach's job, not parents.  Never yell at somebody else's kid. Never. Not cool.  Total asshole behavior.[/quote]
