[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only hope I can offer is that we had a lot of Dad wanna be coaches on our team a few years back. At various points during the season, each one decided that the coach wasn't good enough for their child (which was why they were coaching from the sidelines), and then they left the club. The sidelines have been outstanding ever since. While the children of these dads were pretty good, the reduction in sideline toxicity led to a significant improvement in play over the long-term. Part of that was also new players trying out, seeing our parents aren't crazy, and then deciding to move to our club. It's interesting to see how some of the toxic dads ended up in the same clubs, which tells me something about the culture of the different clubs for our age group.[/quote]

Great POV and I've seen the same. Funny how they all end up together eventually. [/quote]

They the toxic ones also don't realize their reputation precedes them in this small dmv soccer community [/quote]

Not PP but definetly self aware enough to know I'm potentially one of these parents who talks to much. This comment is always rich to me, they know who you are at these clubs, do they? Or, do they care if your kid can ball. But you know what? Offers are always there each spring if DC decides to seek them out, so if I am such a burden why would other clubs give offers? Don't see correlation just whiney lil beaches on this thread[/quote]
