i think if you must come to another teams side, do so behind the first row of parents and be quiet and watch and then no one cares...SteamingBean wrote:I have friends on almost every enemy team, so it's not unusual for us to be off to the side, either team's side, wishing a beer cart would drive by, talking college football or about how badly we all need vacations but we are stuck here instead.

I think if you have to sit with the other teams parents, don't bother. Chances are they won't like you either.

Do yall like the travel tournaments where the parents and teams are made to sit on opposite sides of the field (ie high school football style)? Some coaches don't like parents that close to them, but it does seem to minimize the overall rival-parent tension

It does cut down on parent coaching and certainly lessens rival-parent tension. LHGCL was that way at one time, can't remember why it changed.

No shortage of those who like to take shots at keeper parents on here. I see just as many forwrds parents following their kids back and forth on the offensive end as keeper parents. I don't have a problem with either one doing so.
In my expereince as they get older in general the parents comment less and less about the game.

GK Parent should get special privileges and a coach is one thing a keeper coach is something different.
A keeper coach? So are you saying your daughters keeper coach comes to the games and stands next to her? Or, are you saying that as a keeper's parent you should "be allowed" to stand by her and coach? Why not simply get her an earbud so you can communicate with her throughout the game? It would seem easier and you wouldn't stand out in a crowd so much.
I'm wondering how these GK's and for that matter any player gain confidence if mommy or daddy is always 10 yards away. As that pirate chap said, it's 50 yards....they'll survive.

i feel sorry for girls who look to the sidelines after every play. i see it in every game. not sure how much of that is because the parent is coaching or that the girl is 10 and not confident enough yet. no idea but i hate to see it. hopefully soon they will all find their own voice and feel secure without having to get their parents approval.

Some times we must wonder if the kids are on the field or the sideline as I would think most would have the common sense not to go to the other teams side and degrade the other team. They are kids whether young or high school, enjoy the game and have something good to say whether its for your team or the other. I get crazy looks when I tell the opposing keeper great save. If she had a great save why not recognize it.
