I know that much has been written about kids and sports and if parents would just butt out that kids would all play nicely - perhaps you could even go so far as to say that if all parents butt out that all our kids would actually be professional athletes... mhh.. some thing to consider. Anyway, as I am working on the intramural soccer teams and trying to get all the girls in best color tshirt for their skin tone and all the boys on teams with the kids that they haven't had a fight with in the last two seasons, well I really notice how few parents volunteer - bc currently I have 10 teams and only 6 coaches - and how many parents make special requests. Why is it that the parents that scream and squawk the most are the ones that never even make it to the games. How about the crappy comment that says please place Danny on the same team as Adam, Josh and Derek bc we all car pool - come on! I know better than that - we do not carpool in the suburbs - even if we like to think that the reason that we bought the huge 10 passenger SUV that should be outlawed everywhere except the desert - we actually buy those big cars bc we are going to car pool!
This fall I will just try and experiment with fall soccer. Because there are not enough coaches I will let each team loose on their own, and I bet that they make it to the state tournament. Just get all the coaches out of the way and the kids really will work it out for themselves....
