[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oooh I've got one.  This applies most for parents with younger kids.  When your kid's team is hosting tryouts that occur during regular team practices, don't stand on the sidelines at the practice venue talking smack about the kids trying out.  Odds are, their parents are right next to you.  Witnessed this last week (wasn't about my kid) and am regretting not saying something.[/quote]

Yes. What you do is watch with another parent. When there is a break in play and nothing really happened you say “wow! Did you see that? The coaches all saw that!” The other parent with you will say something like..”oh yeah, that is definitely what the coaches are looking for..” [/quote]

This is PP - LOL that's a good approach.  What I saw last week was one current team parent saying derisively to another, "that girl in blue obviously can't keep up."  As it happens, I had seen Girl in Blue arrive at the field with the parent standing directly to the left of them, clearly within earshot.[/quote]
