Ya when I coached little kids soccer over the summer, these kids were in 5th and 6th grade... ok... we were winning a game 3-0, it was a corner kick I was telling the kids what to do, and the kid botched the kick, no big. we were up by 3... (we had the best team btw and had won every game up to that point) anyways, i had a parent yelling behind me and he said "this coach is pathetic and is not teaching this kids jack Shit" well i turned around and politely asked the parent to shut up and him, his wife, and his at least 65 year old father started screaming at me for talking back. I kid you not, the dad said "These kids will be playing modified soccer in a year or two and you haven't taught them a damn thing" I told him that modified is where they were to learn most of the skills needed, my friend and I taught the basics, how to play, what to do in certain situations, nothing fancy, just the bottom line basics. Clearly that mind set worked seeing as we won every game... anyways, I then said... seriously... modified soccer... at this school? are you kidding? And the parent said he wasnt and started yelling more, so i told him to leave the game and i would talk to him afterwards. He left right then and there, and his father and wife stayed. After we won 4-1, the wife and father said, good game you were right, while the dad of the kid never showed up to talk. Seriously, parents take little kids sports too damn seriously, and need to stfu and just enjoy it. Its like if you dont like how the coach is doing things, then get your ass off the sideline and coach the next year. Stupid Bastards.... /end Rant.
So ya i know how this shit is, it sucks, its stupid, parents are dumb, and shouldnt be allowed to say jack shit to coaches about the players unless its some kinda health concern or something...
Oh yeah we got the you suck as a coach stuff last year too since the team was so bad. Like we have basically 6 first year players, what do you want? You're lucky we have Zoey* who can bat .700, play half the infield by herself and is the fastest runner in the league otherwise it would be worse. By the end of the year we beat the 10-2 team in the playoffs and lost to the 8-4 team by 1 run.
*Literally one girl on the team accounted for 25% of the total runs scored, 20% of the RBIs and 35% of the team's defensive outs.
