[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it's silly to do any talking/cheering because kids do not hear you very well anyway.  If you must -- make it a rule for yourself to only say anything in the past tense -- nice pass, good save, etc . . .  Actually though, don't say anything to the players.  Enjoy a beverage.  Chat with other parents.  It makes things more fun.

As you get further along in the process you really mostly are there hoping (1) your kid does not get hurt (2) no one else gets hurt (3) your kid has some fun (4) your kid's team does well.

Basically, for parents of girl players the numbers say that starting at about u13 one kid a year is going to blow a knee.  So, you are very much hoping no injuries to anyone.

+1 to the watching and hoping he doesn’t get hurt!

As a mom to a young U15– it gets nastier as they get older.  He’s currently out with a bad knee injury due to an illegal slide tackle from behind—not going for the ball at all.  The head injuries have me most worried.  I saw a teammate take a bad concussion and I’m still scarred watching him unable to get up.

Yelling at a ref who is not calling egregious fouls where kids are getting seriously hurt and carried off the field as tempers flare throughout the game is the only acceptable time to say something.  As players get older it’s essential to have an official that takes control early before things get too far out of hand.[/quote]
