[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boys or Girls - doesn’t matter. There are no friends in soccer. The players have friends but the parents on your sideline are not friends. They seem nice? They seem helpful? Given a choice, the other parents you share so many moments with will talk about your kid, and given a choice they will throw you under the bus, your kid under the bus just to get ahead.

If you dare do something nice trying to be different than the others - those people will abuse your kindness and crap on you. Be warned and find friends away from your club. Stay close enough to help your son (or daughter) keep their friendships.

Soccer is brutal. Wish I lived in Maryland or had a daughter even though I see much daughter drama there [/quote]

If you put your kids into a youth activity with the hopes of making friends with parents then you are doing it for the wrong reasons.

I have made several friends through soccer over the years but I generally accept it for what it is and take people at face value. I try and be supportive of all the kids to their parents, which is genuine and it is usually reciprocated.

All of that aside, it is my kids activity to enjoy and not mine. Having a good sideline makes the whole experience far more enjoyable but I am not there to make friends but it has been a positive byproduct. [/quote]
