Quote: Now I will grant you U12 players playing on a bigger field for the first time this last season are not really at the same level as U13's with a year or so experience but if you really knew anything about player development you would know that, but you are a soccer parent and there in lies your problem, you think you know the game but you know nothing.
Coach MT, kind of presumtouos to say all parents don't know anything about the game. As a parent and a coach I have heard many a coach hide behind the " parents don't know soccer." It has been my experience that there are many parents who have coached club, college and professional teams. I also know of many teams where there are parents who have played and coached at higher levels than the coach coaching their kids teams. Very easy, but not fair to use that as a blanket statement.
