[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I used to coach a no-cut sport and one of the dads would sit on the other end of the field away from everyone else because parents would make comments about his kid.  It was sad, I mentioned it to the offending parents and they were embarrassed and apologized but the dad stayed at his end of the field.

I, as the coach, did not care.  I would not have had a competitive team if we had tryouts and cuts.  I'd rather have a positive attitude, high effort, good teammate than someone who would bring us up from 7th place to 6th place.

Is your daughter a positive attitude, high effort, good teammate?  Or is she a bich and moan, tantrum throwing, bad sport sort of kid?

Thanks you for saying something to those parents. This was me, when my DS was in middle school. I couldn’t believe parents would talk about another kid that way? And hear their kids doing it, and not correct them? The coach did nothing. It was so hard to listen to and I wish mean parents would consider how this might feel it was their child.. I was so sad. I sat away from everyone.

My son was (and is) a nice kid who tried hard. He was just absolutely tiny and quite clumsy at that age (looked like a little kid still, had very delayed puberty).

And my son of course quit the sport after that season.
