[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]parents living through their kids is the number one reason. [/quote]

Explain how exactly [/quote]

Screaming at them as soon as they get to the car, not allowing the coaches to coach (kids looking to the sideline for parent instruction over coach), not allowing them to have a life outside of soccer, embarrassing them while your begging coach/director for playing time, etc….all that takes the fun out of it for them. [/quote]Idk, coach. Seems like having a 10-12 month season from age 6 onward is designed to extract as much money as possible from families while trying to block kids from trying to start/learn/play other sports has consequences. It makes diamonds and dust and soccer being fun is such a secondary consideration for the youth soccer industry that it drives kids away.

Once you accept that the youth soccer industry is just that, a business just like any other business, it all becomes completely logical and expected. I expect a business to put their own interests first. My job as a parent is to put my child’s interests first. We have different priorities and objectives. I don’t expect a soccer club to put my child’s interests first any more than I expect a business like McDonalds or Nike to put my child’s interests above theirs. I don’t resent soccer clubs for what they do or how much they cost. It’s a business. [/quote]

We don't have longer seasons than anywhere else.[/quote]We have something more dangerous and sinister to the monopoly seeking youth soccer industry, other sports options as the kids get older. [/quote]
