[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oooh I've got one.  This applies most for parents with younger kids.  When your kid's team is hosting tryouts that occur during regular team practices, don't stand on the sidelines at the practice venue talking smack about the kids trying out.  Odds are, their parents are right next to you.  Witnessed this last week (wasn't about my kid) and am regretting not saying something.[/quote]

I find this lack of awareness fascinating. I’ve overheard multiple parents talking about my kid at tryouts or tournaments over the years, and they don’t even look around to see who may be in earshot. Definitely a violation of etiquette and basic common decency![/quote]

Some people do this intentionally. You are being far too kind. [/quote]

Maybe, though I’m not sure what the point would be unless they are saying it very loudly in the hopes that it will influence a coach’s view of a trialist. In either case, it just makes the parent seem like a douche. [/quote]
