[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never left my kids for practice. The coach was there to coach, not to be an unpaid babysitter.

Please tell me your kid never played, say, school sports then. I guess since you said "unpaid," then no.[/quote]

If you don't see the difference between high school sports teams and 5 year olds, there's no point having a conversation with you.[/quote]

What about 7 year olds? 9 year olds? 11 year olds?

At what age do you stop hovering?[/quote]

These sports groups are ripe for abuse with no oversight.[/quote]

I have never seen a sports practice where there isn’t at least one other adult coach with their team very close by. And chances are at least a few parents are hanging around near the field for one reason or another, whether it be to chat with other parents, exercise, or just enjoy being outside.

And if you’re talking about a coach yelling at the kids or being verbally abusive in some way? Guess what, that happens even with lots of adults observing the situation. Sometimes the parents are well aware and keep their kid on the team because it’s winning.[/quote]
