[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because watching soccer is intense and its natural to want to cheer. I disagree that kids dont hear or care. They recognize friendly voices. At my kids team sometimes we just start "lets go team!" Chant, and the boys love it. Otherwise I will yell "nice pass", "good hustle" "keep fighting" "awesome job" "keep it up" etc to refrain from giving instructions (which i agree is utterly useless at best and confusing at worst) and I will never say anything critical about my kid or others. A person complaining about positive cheering is just odd. Why even bother going? How strange and creepy it would be to sit quietly.[/quote] If you ever have a coach suggest a Silent Saturday- try it. You may not like it for always, but was fun to hear kids talk to each other and see how they play without sideline parent coaching.[/quote]
