[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only red flag I see is the father calling boys.  Are you sure this is really happening?  If so, this should be stopped right away.

All the other stuff?  Eh, welcome to soccer crazy town.  His son will probably quit soon anyway due to the over reaching father.

[b]I have a U15 girl.  I drop her off at practice and go home.  Then go back and pick her up after practice.  Sometimes I get there to pick her up 30 minutes early if I'm running errands during practice and see the same 2 or 3 parents always there.  I assume they're there the whole time?  Just makes me shake my head, as one girl has parents (yes, mom and dad) as you describe.[/b]

At this age, I thought kids don't want to be seen with their parents?  I know some other parents sit in their car in the parking lot after practice and just wait for their daughter to come to the car after practice.  I'm looking forward to my daughter driving, so I don't have to drop off and pick up.[/quote]

This is awesome... we have way too many parents hanging out inches from the field at U11 at every practice...drooling and analyzing their every kid's touch and perceived level of effort. Then 2-3 of them corner the coach and ask them about their kids and what they specifically need to do to move op to the top team.   🤮

So, you are saying there is a light at the end of the tunnel?  [/quote]
