Really ? DH and I were just saying today that the craziest parents ever were 2nd/3rd grade rec league soccer. Way more intense parents than my older child’s mid-level travel lite team. It’s like the u12 parents realize that it’s not worth getting a heart attack over youth soccer.

And no, you don’t yell at another kid. I’ve never seen that before, that’s beyond the pale n

I can't tell from your post if the parents are being grossly inappropriate or if you're being overly sensitvie.



The other parents were yelling at my kid that she was playing for the wrong team, telling her to "get it right" and things of that sort. They were also loudly laughing at her.

Last game I had made a point to tell them that their daughter had done great. Tried to be nice. This is what they did in return.

Some of the other girls on the team picked up on it and were calling names to my daughter. The coach, however, made a point of coming over to me to congratulate my daughter and tell me how well she did. He didn't do this to anyone else. I don't play soccer, but she must have done something right for him to say that.


I would have a word with each of these parents, and would absolutely throw down with any guy who did it again. It is completely unacceptable behavior and merits a true ass kicking.

No, that is not acceptable. I would confront the other parents. The club should not tolerate that.

Parents really shouldn't be yelling instructions or criticism to anyone's kid. On the former, most parents don't know what they're talking about regarding soccer and are usually instructing them incorrectly plus the kids should be learning to think on their own on the field. On the latter, its a good way to get kicked off the team and/or be asked to the parking lot by said kid's parent.

Is this considered acceptable?



Did you really repost this entire thread after it was just removed? Those if us that read it still know you called the other kid obese and that it was her parents fault she was overweight. Are you that desperate for attention to repost this thread?

Go away and find something else to do with your life.

There is really no need to be giving instructions to any kid from the sideline, including your own. If you are one of these people, learn to shut up. Your kid will appreciate it.

It’s normal to say “pass to Ava!” Or “shoot!” At that age.

At age 7, wouldn't it be confusing for a child to have their coach plus a bunch of parents all yelling instructions to them in real time? In short, some of that stuff is normal but some of it is excessive.

Did you really restart this thread? No, yelling at someone's 7 year old is not OK. No, judging a 7 year by their weight is also not ok.

Yelling at other kids is not OK. Making fun of and judging overweight kids and their parents is also not OK.

You done yet?

Yelling about a 7yo is bonkers.
