That's actually the correct term for it, nimrod. Consider yourself educated.

My kid played against a midfielder with a stubby arm once. I thought it was cool that she found a sport that works for her.

"Stubby arm"? My midfielder has a limb difference. I hope this isn't the language you are teaching your daughter.

All you have to do is jump online and constantly comment about how ECNL is the best and every other League is terrible.

Don't ever mention that the team your kid plays on hasn't won their last 5 games. Stick to the narrative + ride the teams that win coat tails.

If you beat another team comment online over and over how bad they are for losing. Make sure you call the other parents "daddy" lot.

Get blown out at national ECNL events by West Coast and Texas teams.

Follow above and you'll fit right in.

lol guess I won't fit in.

You should also be ready to see parents/staff/coaches from other leagues stalk ECNL threads to give fake advice under the guise of being helpful. They will obsess over players who will not drop ECNL to play for their second tier league and constantly drop rude unsolicited comments about our teams, playing style, club admin, parents,etc. Welcome!

Like any team. They have all kind of parents. I wouldn't say they are mean but hey are intense. Should they be? I don't know but they want their kids and the team to succeed. Maybe some would say overly invested and some may not. They tend to stick together and for each other at least for the most part.

hedge much? sonic hedgehog over here just say no, they are difficult people like most privilged people in any metro area

Stick to what you feel is right. In 5 years if your kid makes it all the way, the ECNL/GA madness won't matter anymore.

General FYI, my experience is that the better ECNL club/team parents are generally very nice. They talk about their kids club or team first and league second. Usually all they want to do is play against equivalent talent level teams (regardless of league). The terrible ECNL club/team parents talk about league first and the team or club they play for second. For obvious reasons.

What I'm saying might not make much sense now but it will soon.
