[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this is unacceptable. Parent of two that played Divison 1.

If anyone criticized my kids at any age they'd have to deal with all four foot ten of me and it would not be pretty.

Also, I never had my kids with coaches that screamed at kids. Never. Walked away twice never looked back.

+1. I’m a parent of two boys that are also playing D1 soccer.

If anyone on our team that criticizes my boys during their youth soccer games, they would have to deal with my husband who is 6’6” 270 lbs and former D1 football player. There are many games that their uncles would attend who are as equally large and strong. It’s interesting that no parents ever criticize my boys back then even though they were late bloomers/growth spurts. I don’t know if the other parents were just decent human beings or were just too scared to piss off my husband. [/quote]

Lady you would be surprised how many people pack heat and are not afraid to use it thats a huge equalizer to 6'6" 270lbs  [/quote]

Ha.  I'm a 5'4", 130 pound former D1 soccer player.  Female.  I have told a few of the dads to 'shut the F up' when their bellowing was out of control.  I got mad respect from everyone and even some of the dads later came over and apologized. It set the tone for the sidelines and people starting becoming more respectful in general.  My father was a travel soccer coach for a few decades and he always joked, it was 'great, except for the parents :lol: ".  As a grandfather, he had ZERO tolerance for sideline coaching at his grandsons' games.  I still remember when I as a field marshall at a tournament and there was all kinds of commotion on one of the fields...and my husband (also field marshall) said he had to interject because my 76-year old father told some obnoxious a-hole parent screaming directions to the players "Hey Pal, Coaches sit over there" as he pointed across the field to the team bench.  My dad was ready to come to blows with the guy.  I miss him :) .[/quote]

Who gives a S if you played D1.  What does that have to do with anything? STFU with trying to make you sound like your opinion matters more than anyone elses.[/quote]

I do. She makes perfect sense and sounds very educated. P.S.  Did you even play peewee soccer before?[/quote]
