Does it make people uncomfortable? I find it funny and entertaining. The more desperate you sound the better.

How big is the field that you can't just sit close to the middle?

Why helicopter over your kid?
You think they won't be fine without your amateur overshadowing?


Because it's crowded in the middle and I don't want to have to put up with bs small talk. I'd like to watch the game in peace. Why does it even matter to you?


If he plays college or goes pro, do you buy front row tickets on both ends of the field so you can switch at halftime?


We're not talking about college or pro are we?


No, we're talking about helicopter parents with bad sideline behavior


1000% I will walk down to the other side to watch my kid if most of the possession is in the other half. The reason I will do that is because the last reason I'm at that game is to worry about you not wanting me to walk down a sideline. I'm there for my kid and to be supportive. How sensitive can you be? It's no wonder most of you folks can't handle this environment and lose your minds. Oh, and there is one other reason...because I LOVE winding up adults who still aren't able to move on from their favorite middle school behaviors. See ya on your side!

I guess that makes me a helicopter parent, but I have never heard that term and I'm not sure why you would think that would bother me. I also don't wear the matching shirts and go to the team dinners with all the other adults. I'm there for my kid to be a good parent instead of being with my clique.


No one is wound up.
But we love your long attempt to say you're not that hovering parent smothering the kid and stressing them out.

Let the kid learn to operate independently


Saying "no one is wound up" is the quickest way to say you are wound up. Just calm down. Clearly you think this game and the viewing experience is about you, but it isn't. You could submit a formal complaint though...you sound like that type.

"Hey son I can't give you any feedback today...some rando on a message board told me to let you operate independently and now I feel like caring about you is the wrong thing to do."


You're greatly overestimating that 'C+' you got in Psyc 101 😂

Yesterday I saw a game with the worst parent behavior I've ever seen. There were some questionable calls that went both ways, but it's kids' soccer for heaven's sake. The ref had to stop the game and tell a big group of parents from the other team to stop. The poor guy was trying to be firm and take control, but basically just begging. And the poor kids of these people can't just enjoy their time on the field with their team. Truly unbelievable.

my kid plays forward… im always on the opposing side being supportive.
Love
The crazy looks love hearing the frustration from our goalie and the compliments received at the end games about our goalie forwards.

Hate hearing the joy sticking from parents in general. Specially when the parent guidance is in conflict w the coaches

Talking through out the game is fairly normal from my lifetime with the beautiful game playing it and watching it. Dumb refs get yelled out, good plays get adulation and applause, bad plays get groans. But the 5% is the checking in with yourself to see if the ref you feel like yelling at has hit puberty yet. Most things are only audible to 3 people a round me but if being a fan means sitting on my hands and politely clapping like its a tennis matcth then nope, brand me that guy then in your own ignorance.


A kid's match isn't at all the same as being at White Hart Lane. Treating them, especially the players the same is utterly stupid. You think you know more about soccer so you can act any way you want when it comes to kid's games? You're the ignoramus. Step off you fool.

Huh? Rules are you sir across from your own team. You don’t sit on the opponents side.

Fans should not mix


Agree this seems to be worded poorly. Opposite of opposing team would be the same as across from your own team. I think 🫤.

Some awful Loudoun parents. Typical snowflake type. Screaming out of control and “tough play” is okay unless their angel is touched and if angel gets warned or carded “wasn’t their fault”. Blah
