[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only positive comments.  Cheer for the other team, too, when one of their players makes a good play.  Remember that it is only a game.  If your kid makes a mistake, shrug, oh well, it happens and it will be better next time.  Anther kid on your kid's team makes a mistake, shrug, oh well, it happens, and it will be better next time.

I have been going to youth league, high school and college sports to cheer on my children for almost 20 years.  Last week I was at a game that is in my top 10 for [b]worst parent behavior.[/b]  Apparently the parents have a rep because one of the refs told a parent on the sideline to warn the others that if they cheered inappropriately they would be ejected from the area.  Despite this, they were still some of the worst sideline parents I have ever seen.  At one point they were doing little happy dances, singing and giving thumbs-up to their kids on the field with loud cheers after the goalie for the opposing team scored for them.  They were completely disgusting.

OP, it only takes witnessing something like this for you to realize that you do NOT want to be one of those parents.[/quote]

They were from Maryland, weren't they? :oops:  :lol: [/quote]

Actually, they [b]were from the western part of Fairfax County almost at the next county.[/b]  It was pretty horrible.  But, you're right, it is all over the place and it seems to be whole teams.  Very upsetting.  My kid even remarked on it and usually this kind of stuff is not even on the radar.[/quote]

Hmmmm 
Thats Prince William County

NVSC- a lot of Hispanic kids with passionate parents
VSA- a lot of Wannabe Loudoun clones who aren't snooty. Have a false sense that the club and kids are on a higher level
SYA- pretty good smaller club. Haven't had any bad experience dealing with them 
CYA- not too familiar [/quote]
