Because they have a tendency to bunch up, despite us telling them 1,000,000 times in practice to spread out, and they don't realize they are doing it, and it has directly contributed to some losses for us. We yell "spread out," and they do it and sometimes they even stay spread out. We'll also tell a girl she is off-sides so she can get on-side before the ref whistles..

If you want to coach them volunteer at the rec level or take time to get your coaching license apply to coach at an academy and bring you child with you. Just remember nobody is perfect and please don't disrupt your childs soccer experience.

I remember this dad did quite a bit of coaching from the sideline on my son's team. I think it was U10. The coach asked him to relax and he told the coach, "I pay too much G-- D--n money for my kid to play soccer and not be coached. If you aren't going to do it. I'm going to." The coach just walked away. It was awesome. : )

I hope that kid was cut before U11 started. I can't stand especially U9 and U10 parents that come from rec programs. They all seem to think they are gonna be the assistant coach. Or they all want to set up snacks for post games and trophies at the end of the year.

Where else would u9 kids come from but u8 rec programs?

You mean the SYA Dad. These are not coaches at Rec. Say it to yourself 1,000 times. They do not reflect the club at all.

I was at Pine Ridge for the Rec All Star tournament this past weekend. The BRYC coach for the U10 girls (Either U9 or U10) was AWFULLLLLLLLL!!!!! He did not stop screaming. I don't know how anyone and I mean anyone can stand to be around that guy. Joysticking everyone! After the game, they wanted all the girls in the goal for a quick picture. He still couldn't stop yelling. Yelling at kids. Yelling at parents. Yelling at asst coaches. Thank GOD the games were only 30 minutes. Painful!

Must be a BRYC thing. We played one of the boys teams in a tournament this year and he was SCREAMING at the U9 boys

No, that is a Rec Dad coach thing.
