[quote=Anonymous]We've been fortunate with almost all of our kids' soccer teams, and they have been on DA, A, B, and C teams through the years.  Most parents have been either highly knowledgeable about soccer or perfectly happy to enjoy watching their kid without knowing much about the sport. I have only met 2 or 3 parents (out of hundreds) who seemed to be delusional about their kid's abilities or assume that there was a potential scholarship or pro-career in their U10 kid's future.

I have seen a fair number of parents melting down over playing time and player demotion issues though, and have acquaintances who seem to spend half of each season plotting their coach's downfall.  A PP alluded to the type of really toxic parent I've observed, one who is highly successful, wealthy, and competitive, and expects the coach to respond promptly to resolve every imagined problem.  I swear some of them think the coach should treat them just like the junior associates at their law firm do.[/quote]
