[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our new addition to our teen team is a parent who plants a chair sideline during all of training. How do we cut her... the parent not the kid?[/quote]

What age? Since this is an ECNL & GA thread, do you mean at U13 or higher?
-If so, that is against the norm for sure.  If it's U12 or younger, it's ok.

-Also, if I were a new parent, I would want to watch practices for a few weeks also to check coach quality.  I find the best way to do this is to watch them for a few a weeks.  How do they coach? Do they scrimmage a lot? Do the have drills they want to implement in the scrimmage? How do they handle warm-up and cool down? Are they picking favorites over and over again?  Are they involved when fouls happen? Do they yell at the kids?

You have to watch the Coach closely at practice, not just on game days, to really see how they are as a Coach.

Likely, once they have a comfortable feel for the new team, they will do something else.  Or maybe you could invite the new parent to walk laps w you?[/quote]
