[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In recent seasons, there was a persistent cadre of Capital dads who apparently assumed that repeated emails imploring parents to drop their girls off and leave did not apply to them.  Nice guys, but...

The top clubs in Maryland don't do this, so why does Capital think they are special? [/quote]

Capital actively discourages parent sideline engagement / coaching with players. Md clubs do not. Capital tries to put a wall between the parents and the club and the players are much better for it. Capital players are able to play at practice without the watchful eye of their obsessive parents critiquing their every move. Teaches them to advocate for themselves if they need to address something with the coaches. [b]Prepares them for recruiting camps too (which are almost always closed)[/b]. Fun to watch the handful of psycho dads who disregard closed practice instructions at recruiting camps -- easy pickins' for college coaches to make mental notes of the players they should stay away from.

I’ve taken my daughter to over a dozen recruiting camps over a two year period and only one was closed - one of the six Ivies we visited.[/quote]

I have never been to a closed recruiting camp for my son or daughter. Boys clubs do not have closed practices.  [/quote]

Shhhh, don't bring facts in here.[/quote]

A poster above gave two examples where camps were closed to spectators. Can someone give others?[/quote]

I always dropped at camps and drove away.  I am sure that most of the parents are lovely people.   But in every group of parents there will be one who sidles up to every other parent and shares gossip, seeks reassurance that they are doing all the right things, and otherwise spreads misery.  (kind of like on this board, but in person)

The Capital issue is a non-issue.  Holy Cross, where Capital practices in the fall, has very specific requirements with respect to parking.  The rule is only to park in certain lots, not to queue for pick-up at the curb by the field, etc.  My recollection is that Spring practices, which are not at Holy Cross, do not have the same strict rules.  Much of this may, in fact, be driven by the venues.

Much as I believe parents should step back, you do you![/quote]
