sure most of your coaches follow my three rules as well.

1: Never under any circumstances approach me after a game.
2: Never under any circumstances question a coaching decision that I make.
3: Never under any circumstances assume you know more than me.
As long as they follow these three simple rules we will be ok.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAnd there in lies the problem and why American soccer stinks. You parents think because you pay your kids deserve to play. If you feel that way then play rec. Competitive soccer is just that. Europe rules in soccer because they weed out all the crap They have no problem telling you when your kid is 7 years old that he has no talent and should pursue another sport or hobby

What do I want from a coach? I want one that is prepared for practice and not just winging it. I want one that does not find it neccessary to spend 15-20 minutes of practice speaking to other coaches, parents or someone on his phone. I want the coach who is just not out there to make a few extra bucks and actually enjoys his time with the kids. I want the coach that makes my kid want to go to practice and wants to practice on his own time. I want the coach that at the end of the year, both me and my kid can say it was a fun year.

Coaching Education
Coaches should be educated. There are established standards what coaches should know and be able to do. How many coaches you know would fit these standards below?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAll most of these post are doing is backing up the very original post. Parents who think they are customers and simply don't get it. Just stay out of the way and enjoy your watching your kid play. If you are not happy leave. If your kid is that good trust me he will be found. he will play in college. If not hopefully he had a great experience and learned some life lessons.
