[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my kid were on such a team, I’d complain to the director of the club. If it weren’t corrected, we’d find another club. [/quote]

Youre the type of parent that would confront the parents when their child beats up your kid in a fistfight .  but would be highly offended if a parent confronted you because your kids poor play  lost the game for the team. Your kid isn't the special darling prodigy you believe he is.

Thats the problem right there!!! you shouldn't have the ability just to say "We'd find another club". Too many bad kids are allowed to play to make everything level. All the competitiveness is sucked out  travel sports. Its become a social wine and cheese weekend event. The bigger problem is there are too many clubs that just see the money and dont care about the athlete. We cater to the parent of the subpar kid who in reality sucks at soccer. We leave behind and dont develop the actual good athlete who cares and wants get better. [/quote].

How about your kid gives 100% and if its not good enough so be it. Dont lower the standard to make it appear your kid is actually successful if they are truly not.[/quote]

My son is the lead goal scorer on his team — that’s a fact. I am confident that he’s also the best player on his team — that’s my opinion, of course.

None of that has anything to do with tolerating a blowhard coach aggressively yelling at him and his 8 year old teammates. I’ve seen it (hello, SYC!) and it’s boorish. A good coach can be firm and serious but also age appropriate with young kids that age. [/quote]
