[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am glad to see its ALL youth sports:)!

I grew up in a soccer family.  Years and years. All 3 kids played travel, dad coached travel, etc.  having flashbacks now that my kids are in it.

Some truly awful backstabbing, political parents.  I keep saying I'm going to switch my kids to a new sport and every time I mention one somebody always says 'No. "X" sport has the worst parents!'

Guess it's best to stick with the evils you know :).[/quote]

I mentioned youth wrestling parents above.  They are really bad. However the great thing about wrestling is that it is an individual sport for the most part so the politics that come into play with the team sports seem to not matter!  All 4 of my kids wrestle including my daughter who was 5 and 6 years old in her first season this past year.  She held her own and actually won majority of her matches and this was against all boys and in the greatest wrestling state there is.

So if you have to deal with crazy parents maybe the one with less politics and reality TV drama would be something to look into [/quote]

Ha! My husband was a wrestler and this was one we were thinking of:).

My sister's 3 sports finalky ditched team sports in HS for track (well relay includes team:)).  So refreshing she said after years of travel team drama.  You can't argue with a stopwatch!!! No parent can try to advocate for Jimmy over Tommy when Tommy beats him by 65 seconds.

First two got track scholarships and the third is currently top 8th runner in the State for his event.[/quote]
