aallegedsoccerparent,
The purpose of any sport is for the KIDS to have fun. If there is little or no fun in just participating and playing the game, then they will either leave the sport or begin to exhibit the same conduct as their respective parents. I have experienced a lot of sports activities - coaching basketball, baseball, soccer - and most of it was fun except when the parents began to put undue stress on their kids to perform to 'their expectations'. And when you have that stressful situation coupled with a 'win at all costs' coach, there ceases to be any fun in the sport. So.......make sure the KIDS are having fun first; before you even think about winning and beating the other team.
soccerallegedlyrules,
A 11-12 yr old girl was running her mouth at a Bridge parent???
I am sure that it was quite possibly the other way around.
From what I have seen in 6 years of club reffing, the kids would be much better off and able to enjoy their soccer experiences, if parents were banned from the games.
