They want you to enjoy the game. Most parents mean well and work hard. They are the ones who make phone calls, spend time out in the sun taking registrations, cut the grass before the game and organize tournaments. Thanks to parents we have organized clubs, fields to play on, etc. Soccer is about the kids.
Practice is for the kids Setting limits for parents begins at practice.
As a player, I have spent many combined hours juggling a ball, waiting for practice to begin or resume, while a parent uses practice time to talk with the coach. Practices should not resemble games with parents in lawn chairs along the sidelines. Practice is a time for kids to make their own decisions without crowd approval or disapproval and without parental pressure. To build this foundation, Camargo lets his players and parents know that what happens at practice stays on the field. Lack of discipline or effort at practice is a problem between the player and me.
