[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our (now former) club, the parent politics, coupled with a toxic coach/age group lead, have driven a number of families from the program.  Parent volunteers get preferential team placement, playing time, etc.  for their kids.  The coaches and parents have also displayed awful behavior in front of the children - getting kicked out of tournaments and games, berating their children (and teammates) etc.

It sucks that our generation of sports parents is screwing up so badly, because sports can be so amazing for kids if handled properly.  It's no wonder that childhood anxiety and depression are skyrocketing, and for what?  How many of these kids are going to be professional soccer players, or even get a D1/3 scholarship?  I will never understand what motivates adults to berate children.  It destroys a child's motivation and love for the sport, and damages how a child feels about him/herself.

Keeping fingers crossed that the new team/club is better![/quote]
