It always shocks me when I see parents coaching from the sidelines at club games.  At my daughter's club (we do not live in the DC area), that would NOT be tolerated. [i] When I do see it, I wonder why the parents are paying for a professional coach if they think that they know more[/i].  [/quote]

One, I think many of those parents are probably thinking the [b]exact [/b] same thing. Why are we paying for [i]this[/i]?

Two, perhaps a coach suffering this issue would benefit from having another club professional (other than a parent manager) watch from the spectators sideline and remind the parents to stop. [/quote]

1. If parents are wondering why they are paying for (what they believe to be) sub-par coaching, then they probably should have done more research before committing to that particular club/coach.  Parents also get caught up too much in game results for younger players.  At U9/10/11, training is much more important than game results.

2.  Parents should realize that they are doing their child a disservice by shouting direction to them on the field.  (Hearing parents yell "clear it" or "boot it" when a coach is clearly trying to teach his team to play out of the back is my personal favorite).  In my experience, the older and higher level the team is, the quieter the sideline tends to be.[/quote]
