I personally think game recordings are a great way for players to learn afterwards.  Too few players or coaches utilize these tools.[/quote]

A a team manger, it take a lot of time to get value out of the game videos.  Time to watch the whole game and identify plays and mark the teaching points.  Then set up a video review and go over the teaching points with the players.  This is about 3 extra hours of effort. It is hard to do and our Coach would rather just have practice. I feel like the video stuff is just a "feel good item", it is not practical at the U12-U9 level.  A club can say they have it, but it is tough to utilize.

But getting back to parents... they are terrible at U10-U11.... they often don't know when to shut up. The kids are too little to take criticism from the parents and they don't know enough etiquette to tone it down a few levels.  Also, I have noticed the most critical parents tend to have the most critical kids who criticize their teammates. Shit just rolls down hill in that regard.
