Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCoaches aren't going to tell parents how to cheer. The couldn't care less if parents say weird things on the sidelines. And same for me. If I find it's annoying, I just move down to the 18. Or better yet, they have these cool things you can put in your ears and listen to music to drown out the people noises.
1. You are out in the public and you have no control over free speech.
2. If you don't like what you hear then, as the poster said, move away.
3. Sideline parents are akin to road rage. If you want to test then don't be upset with the result.
4. I would hope that coaches care what their parents say especially if they are coaching from the sideline. I would also hope that the club cares. If they don't then consider another coach or club since sideline coaching it counter productive
5. I would like to see both clubs penalized every time a ref talks to parents. Why both clubs? Who can tell which club the parents are from? Penalize both!!!

7. I would love to see ref's with a God complex and rabbit ear who go out of their way to antagonize players, coaches and parents drummed out of the game.
8. It would be great if those who can't stand sideline parents would remember that soccer is a sport and fans are supposed to be passionate, otherwise one might as well go watch mountain climbing.
It would be awesome if Doc's, coaches and ref's remembered who pays their check.. the sideline parents.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI don't care either other than the effect that it has on the kids on the field. With parents screaming send him, the kid hauls off and whacks the ball down the field. And then that bad play is cheered.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWell if they had better coaching that wouldn't be a problem. Let's face it, if they are past 11-12 years old and they are still listening to their parents it's because they don't know enough about the game to know better. Who's fault is that?

Wouldn't want to play for a screaming coach. Wouldn't want my parents screaming out at me.
Parents are irrelevant, but they think they're somehow involved in a game. 99% of what parents yell is not heard by players, only other parents. It's only a distraction if you kid does hear you.
Nothing funnier than watching parents that obviously have never even kicked a soccer ball shouting out directions, like they mean something. Drop your kid off and go find a hobby.

10. It would be even more awesome, with some self reflection, that you realized that not only do you embarrass your children but you also prevent them from achieving their full potential since they are focused on pleasing you as opposed to playing the game the way they are being taught. Countless hours of good training go down the drain every time you praise them for a stupid play and refrain when they make a good play. The vast majority of you sideline sailors are grossly unaware of the difference....

All these parents vs coaches vs refs posts will always be around, but truth is that in youth soccer, there will always be obnoxious parents, jack ass coaches and incompetent refs. No one group is immune. But after 10 plus years involved youth soccer, it has been my experience that thankfully these folks all have been in the minority. Of course, reasonable parents, good coaches and refs makes for boring fodder on TS.
