Ok you degenerates, I need some input. I'll probably just ignore it but I figured I'd post since there are a lot of parents on here.
My son is on a regular (not travel/all star) old community rec league soccer team U10. his coach I think is really a good coach; she's actually a former D1 soccer player.
however, some of the boys on the team are being really disrespectful and goofing off too much. They don't show her respect and a few of them ruin practices for the kids who want to learn and play hard.
I'm kind of just a helper at practices. I don't coach on the sideline. There is no other official coach, just her. Some of the boys get dropped off at practice, some have parents there watching. Even with their parents there watching I'm surprised at how poorly behaved they are. One at least has an excuse I guess (his mom told us he's "already heavily medicated"). THe rest I think are just acting up.
I was about THIS CLOSE to pulling the kids in the huddle and chewing their assess about showing her respect and listening. However, I was worried that since I'm not the coach she would be offended and view it as me man-splaining or "showing her" how to coach or discipline.
This coach has forgotten more about soccer than I will ever know. But it's really hard for me to sit there and watch these kids act like that.
Any tips?
