[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should be glad they called. We had a parent or two like that on a team in the past. For a few years, everyone gritted their teeth and suffered through it. Not only was their sideline commentary obnoxious, it was in some situations contrary to what coaches had asked of the players, and it was negatively impacting the team. So when half the team decided to move on, everybody left the know-it-all dads who arrogantly and more loudly than they realized criticized half of the team out of the loop. They were left fuming when the replacements were even further below their standards. It would have been better for everyone if the club had addressed it and told the dads to shut it. [/quote]
+10000 As a parent, when I hear our sideline coaches(the parents) making comments about the kids on the field, I just cringe.  They are always front and center at every games ready to coaches and criticize these kids.  From start to finish this parent had comments about everything; be stronger, we have to win those balls, hurry up/run, serve the ball, midfield where are you etc .  However, they would also comeback with positive comment when players made good plays.  I think at some point this can become very annoying to the kids and the parents.  The sad part about the whole situation, is the team will eventually isolate themselves from the kid whose parents  always have something to say. [/quote]
