[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1316803, member: 498"] My "kids" (the youngest is now 30) played every sport except ice hockey. And I coached most of them. I agree with the earlier statement about drafting parents. I also had parent meetings very early on with no kids present and laid things out to the parents on how they were to behave. I did that in no uncertain terms. We are here to teach the kids and for them to have fun. I will always put each individual in the best position for them to succeed. It is Ok to groan a little if a close call goes the other way. But that groan should and will be followed by positive, encouraging words to the kid who got thrown out not cussing at the ump. If you think you can avoid the parent thing by going with 4-H or Jr rodeo I have some sad news for you. Parents were just as bad at those activities. Maybe worse. As a coach I had some control over the parents. I guess a 4-H leader could exercise some control over parents but I never witnessed it and rodeo their is nobody who has control over parents. In 4-H and rodeo it is generally the parents who can afford to spend the most who have kids who win. [/QUOTE]
