[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love these discussions.  The cliquey parents try to cast it off as nothing, and the other side does the same in another way by telling you to ignore it.  What they're not telling you is how this plays out as they get older, ESPECIALLY girls.  You'll see them go from very friendly classmates to not speaking at all due to how things are portrayed to them surrounding soccer.  If you progress into travel and the time that takes away from you, not having those relationships with those parents turns into some awkward trips.  Party invites start getting weird and all.  It's almost as if the parents subconsciously reenact their own ms/hs days.

Continue to be cordial, but also don't full on ignore everything.  You'd be amazed at the topics that go on.[/quote]
How is any of this related to performance on the field?

The awkwardness youre referring to is intentional by cliquey moms. They want others to do what they say. By controlling party invites or just being nasty some parents will just fall in line and do what they say.

Again, for youngers parents this all goes away when team performance and wins are more important than the nonsense party planners. If you want a more serious team look around at other clubs.

Also keep in mind that it could be worse. Our neighbors kid is on a competitive dance team that travels. Its just like soccer but the mom's are 100x worse and wins are are determined by corrupt judges.[/quote]
