[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a laid back parent and like to cheer for the players, even if it's on the other team if it's a good play.  We have a parent that thinks he's Messi and can't wait to coach the kids, in fact he paces up and down the sidelines screaming in spanish/english at the kids (including his own).  Fearing for his health I told him to relax and let the coach....coach.  He said these kids aren't doing this right and how that's not the right way to play the ball.  He claims to have played college ball, but from the looks of him I can't even tell he went to college.  We had a tournament over the weekend and after the second game I could not take anymore.  I walked up and asked nicely that the families weren't comfortable with his sideline antics and that I personally felt the refs targeting out kids because of him.  He then asked who and I told him I was one and that was all that counted.  He took that as me trying to challenge him.  I walked away and on the second day he was a bit better, but still a nut job.  I don't know what else to do and none of the other families are doing anything but complaining to each other about his behavior.  Team manager is great, but chicken shit.  I don't want it to get violent, but I'll admit it has crossed my mind.  Coach has asked him to chill a few times with little improvement.

Before you judge, I've actually moved away a few times so I don't have to hear it, but when the players are actually acknowledging this idiot and looking away from the game it pisses me off.  [/quote]

Maybe instead of challenging him, you can help him. It sounds like he get excited during the game. Talk to him before the game. Tell him you may have came off as an asshole the other day. It's not really good to yell and /or coach the kids during the game(most league/clubs have rules against it). It's also not good for the the kids. They are only x years old.  They are learning how to play the game and will not do everything right....but we have the coach who will coach them up. Let's hang out during the game and if you get excited talk to me. It could help. After all we do not want to penalize the team or have the coach red carded. [/quote]
