The parents who think jeans are acceptable to wear to practice...

Or the one mom a little too large to be wearing those yoga paints on the sideline but rocks them anyways every Sunday..

Or The one family who is never on time and cries “traffic” like the rest of us didn’t get here the same way.

The dad that is quiet all game but can be seen ripping into little Johnny in the parking lot.

Th spanish family who's son is obviously 14 with a mustache playing for the same u11 team that his 12 yr old brother plays for.

-the mom whose never touched a soccer ball yelling “boot it” or “clear” in a u15 game.
-the dad taking stats on his kids playing time when the coach doesn’t give a s*** how good you think your kid is.
-the manager trying to plan a pizza party right BEFORE a game.

Thank you, what a light hearted way of starting my day!

The dad with the cooler on the hill pouring bloody Marys and laughing at the rest of the crazies for going nuts over a u9 game.

What about the parent that yells foul for every contact and claims that the other team is playing dirty.

YES YES YES, same idiot that screams offsides, all the time.

Bonus points when this Mom is 20+ pounds overweight.

She is always my favorite at games, followed by a close second of the group of Dads that stand together and critique the coaching decisions of their kids’ coach. Usually more critical of female coaches than male coaches.

In my experience, it tends to be the dads who are 20+ lbs overweight.
Just sayin'.

The dad giving his player constant instructions that are completely different than what the coach is telling them, confusing the player who is constantly looking over their shoulder at the parent

So is the U10 coach a thing at other clubs? Because that sure has been our experience this year.

The u10 coach that sits on his cell phone all game. He coaches 4 other teams for the club and seems to do very little coaching with the younger kids.

The Latin parent who gets overly emotional at any mistake their child has. Encourages their child to dribble the length of the field and never look to pass to a teammate no matter even if its the correct play.

The Family that brings the 3 yr old kid and doesn't watch them as they wander out on the pitch getting in the way of play.

The coach of the team playing next game who allows his team to warmup too close to the field and their balls constantly come on the field of the game being played.

These are pretty good.

Characters on the pitch, what am I missing....go!

-The True Soccer mom, might even sport a "soccer mom" shirt or decked out in club attire looking like a adult version of their kid with all the warmup gear.
-The crazy parent that is wearing his/her favorite EPL jersey coaching from the spectator side and screaming at the ref
-The creeper parent that stands 30 yards behind the goal or just sits in the car
-The Eagles fan, screaming at everyone and has no clue how soccer is played, makes references about how they hate soccer....
-The been there, done it parent. On chair cheering for everyone on the team and relaxes. May even have a club hat/shirt on, but does not get worked up under any condition.
-The Explainer, comments about every play, every move, explains their strategy, and wishes they can control the kids like on his Xbox.
