[QUOTE="nate, post: 15514588, member: 112"] When I first started coaching my dad and older brother warned me about the politics that go with it. It's ridiculous how parents act. Our cyc team went undefeated. We are a small parish in a rural area, and we played mostly parishes in the "high society" part of St. Louis. The derogatory comments parents would make about our team as we were handling them up the field was cringe worthy. I had one coach start yelling at my players and the ref when they were loosing. 5 year old kids. It didn't last long, we went to the field coordinator and he had to sit the rest of the game. I saw another coach during baseball season screaming at his 9 year old players during a practice over nothing. I would never let my kid play for people like that. I coach baseball and soccer, and have had the same group of kids for all of it. I try to teach the kids team work and to have fun. None of this matters. I just want them to make friends, instill a little work ethic, and have a good time. My kid is the best on both teams, and I know he ain't going to the pros. If he is lucky, stays with it, maybe , and I mean maybe, he can get some sort of scholarship. Some of these parents think they have the next Beckham or Mike Trout. And the coaches are trying to make it to the pros off the back of these kids. Really puts a bad taste in your mouth and makes me want to move on to other activities with my kids. [/QUOTE]
