[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to rub it in, but our parent group has a blast at games.  No shouting unless it's a just ridiculously bad call, most of the time you'll hear the parents joke with kids while they are playing and this is a top end team.  We learned as a group early on that pressuring the kids, yelling at refs, and even going after other kids on the field just tightens up the players.

Sit back and enjoy, they will play faster and harder because it ends up being entertainment rather than test for all to judge.[/quote]

I find this to be true too.  Unfortunately, we have some tightly wound a**ses on our sidlines.  Their kids look so tense on the field.  Then they get the whole team worked up in tournament games when they start screaming at their kids and team.  I did say STFU at one game last year and it worked for a bit.  I contribute 2 losses in tournament Finals we definitely should have won but the parents got their kids so worked up prior to the game and were insane on the sidelines.  It does not help, it hurts.
