Serious.  We have one that bad mouths the other player that plays his kid’s position to the coach.  He has a direct line.  Not the first club it’s happened.[/quote]

You too? Yes we have one of those. And my kid plays the same position as his. It is a blast.

OP- my sympathies. I know you are just venting. Many of us in the same boat. [/quote]

A parent bad mouthing other kids to sell his own is just sick.  Sadly, we have been in that boat too.[/quote]

We had this. It was kinda hilarious because the mom who tried to do it knew nothing about the sport.  My kid was the one she always tried to target, and he was a super coachable kid who was always doing exactly what the coach said, so she’d loudly say “what’s THAT kid doing?” in a mocking tone, and the other parents would explain that he was executing the play laid out by the coach.

We actually ran into her at a tournament years after our kids quit playing together. My kid was playing up 2 years for a 17u team at a very well thought of club, and her kid was playing 15u.  Her kid’s team had lost badly to the 15u team from my kid’s club, and she noticed that my kid’s uniform was different.  She actually asked my kid “If you play for X team, why is your uniform black’?” (or whatever the color was). Like she really thought he was walking around a tournament in a fake uniform or something.  Her husband — who had seen my kid’s game and said nice things to him about it before she walked up — explained that he was playing for the 17U team whose game had just ended, and she looked like she was going to be sick.
