Soccer parents can be awful. Mind you, so can some of the coaches. Good luck.

After 5 years of coaching peewee soccer, I decided to take time off and just scream from the sidelines this year I even had problems with some peewee parents -the kids are 3-5 years old, we play without goalies, we don't keep score and we celebrate every goal regardless of which net it went in and who scored. We try to keep approximately 5 kids on the field at one time, sometimes we have to carry them or run holding their hands, and I'd get parents saying things like "You need to play a 3:1:1 line up, they're weak in D and you're just not capitalizing on that".....
