    The Girls 2007 Parent Thread

    Are these people for real?

    #2
    Parent here of both a 2001 and 2007. Believe me, the 2007 parents are crazy and delusional. Town even worse. All on track for D1 scholarships

      It happens a lot. It's nearly always parents for whom this is their first kid playing soccer or really almost any organized sport. All sports are tremendous funnels by the time high school rolls around. They just haven't hit the narrowing portion yet. It will smack them in the head sooner or later, but in the meantime ignore their thread and let them have their fantasies

        If I was younger and still writing, I'd be making it into a sitcom.

                In reading some of the posts on TS, I don't think the craziness is limited to the parents of any particular age... Some of these nutbags are still arguing about club soccer when their kids are already in college...

                  Or commenting on an 07 thread when they don't have an 07 child.

                    Just trying to save the 07 parents from jumping off a bridge in 5 years.

                      The number drops dramatically as parents wise up around 7th-8th grade. There will always be some, but at u11 u12 there's practically entire teams dreaming of D1 full rides

                        The fact that someone is paying so damn much for soccer and is worried about results and how they compare to other teams sums up what is wrong. A parent of a 6th-grader should not be concerned with how the score of the game went. Unless they are out for Facebook likes. If so, get her onto a rec or town travel team and run up those stats.

                            I had an 07 child and I've seen this insanity firsthand before.

                              I say let them have their fun! There is nothing rational at any level about club soccer. Kids want to do it (and some parents too) and so it exists. If it didn’t, they would only be spending time and money on some other activity that would be equally pointless. Eventually, 90% of these kids tire of it or they don’t make the roster for the next leg up and it ends. 2-3 years from now these 2007 parents will learn that if they don’t already know so let them have their fun while it lasts.
