Investment? No, it’s entertainment. You people are ridiculous, these are kids.

Investment does not necessarily mean money.

Your attitude is why we don't like being on teams where kids and family do not take it seriously and skip critical practices and games, leaving other teammates to scramble for subs and a win.

Next time, play rec or private trianing for solely entertainment.

Exactly, Its more than entertainment is about teamwork, brotherhood, sisterhood, learning to work together , and holding each other accountable. We win together we lose together and we all go thru it together. Uf your child or family doesn't buy in they should probably play rec soccer.

Let’s be honest, travel soccer is rec soccer. If you are talking about a top 50 ranked national team, maybe you have a point. Most everything else is just to keep kids active and entertained. Youth soccer is a mess because everybody thinks their kids are playing World Cup games or are little messi’s. The attitude of take it seriously is why so many kids quit. Y’all are killing the fun for the kids - good parenting.

We’re in Colorado. So this is a totally anonymous place for me to vent 😬.

Smart. Is there a Colorado Urban Moms soccer forum were I can complain a soccer in the DMV?

There is. But all they do is complain about Loudon.

The same is true if your kid dreams of being a scientist I encourage you to give them every experience possible within your means to help them achieve it. Nothing your kids love should be labeled " JUST A" game or science ,or Boy Scouts, or band. If they have a passion its your job as a parent to help and support them to get the best experience possible. Win , lose , succeed, or fail be all in with your kids no exception.

Ok then! Time for Prozac for you?
You don't see it, most self-centered people don't. Your kids hate you and will hate you forever.

Thanks Dr. Where do I pay co-pay ? What time will my prescription be ready?

My kids love me because I give them any and all the support they want and need to flourish and live their best life ever.

You are clearly one of the insane sports parents! Nobody loves you nor them. They are not Olympic athletes and their window is not 8-18! Most kids don't dream of playing pro sports! Only most insane parents dream of their kids playing pro sports. Hence they rob their kids of normal parents bcs, like you, they become insane nightmare sports parents!
It is JUST a game.

As a parent I don't care if my kid wins or loses. I SURE AS HELL CARE if I have made time and space in my calendar for a whole weekend tournament that is then called off because some other adult didn't bother to.

It's also a team sport. If your family doesn't understand that you have a responsibility to others in this game, I suggest a switch to tennis.

If the parent doesn’t show commitment to the team by showing up on time for practices and games, don’t expect their DC to be committed to the team either.

I had a conversation with my DD prior to playing travel. Told her that if she’s not committed & serious about travel soccer, we can stay in select soccer or go back to Rec. soccer. This means showing up to games/practices on time with a good positive attitude. This attitude and commitment will follow her when she goes to college and when she joins the work force.

It’s very frustrating when I see parents taking their DD late to games or last minute cancellations due to schedule conflicts.
