[quote=Anonymous]The question posed to you was what have you done about the few bad apples. You actually address the answer in your response. High level clubs should not allow parents to coach or allow them to influence play at all. This in turn should help ensure the best players are on the field and in the right positions. Most issues stem from a few insecure parents who want to control the situation and influence club decisionsg. Club directors need to remove these few parents. Tough to do though given club lacrosse is big business. You state there are some bad parents but this is not the issue, so if it’s not a few people what is making the sport so toxic and what do you propose be done?[/quote]

One thing I've been thinking about recently is that because parents put so much time, effort and money into their kids sports (driving, gas, hotels, club fees, etc.) they feel entitled to express their opinions and get more involved. They are way more vested considering they are giving up their weekends. In a way, I don't blame them to a certain extent. If their kid should be getting playing time but maybe isn't because of some relationship or politics, they feel they have a right to say something. Back in the day, when you paid $25 for the whole season and the practices and games were all less than 3 miles from your house, parents really didn't care as much if little Jenny got it or not. Go to the pool and have fun after the game. Just a thought. [/quote]
