[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, we aren't talking about the US national team or pro club practices. This is pay to play soccer, whether you like it or not. If I want to watch my DC's practice in its entirety, I have every right to. Not once has a coach had to speak to me or anyone else for that matter. As someone said earlier, I would like to know how my money is being spent. I know the difference between a good training session and a bad one. I know the difference between a good coach and a bad one.

People seem afraid that your DC might be in jeopardy of being labeled because a parent chooses to watch a whole practice even if its every single week? Only an insecure coach would be bothered. As long as I am paying, I will choose what I want to do with my time.[/quote]

What's your soccer pedigree to know if the coach is running the best training sessions?[/quote]

It doesn't take a soccer pedigree to determine if a practice is weil run or not... that is a silly question. [/quote]

Then how else do you know?

I didn't know soccer knowledge and expertise was common sense [/quote]

Hmmmm....

Players constantly standing in line, not well run

Players distracted and constantly messing with or playing around with their teammates, not well run

Players/team not improving, not well run

Coach constantly stopping practice to pontificate for 10+ minutes, not well run

Coach berating constantly berating players, not well run

Players constantly missing practice or practices with very low participation, not well run

Coaches constantly distracted on their phones or with other coaches/parents, not well run

etc etc etc ... c'mon
