I just finished watching Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican Convention, and noticed all those folks waving home-made "HOCKEY MOMS" posters.

The Ref posted a few links about this last fall and even now it's still amazing. In a U8 soccer match, after a player was hurt after a collision and the referee didn't call a foul, a soccer mom came onto the field to argue with him.

Are you KIDDING me? I never cease to be amazed at what some parents will do to get their kids to be 'better': A soccer mom, upset at her teenage daughter's performance at a game Saturday, stopped along Interstate 80 and left her there.

So how would you explain offside to soccer parents? Josh at Throughball found a soccer parent asking that very question though he's not [...] Click to continue reading...

Dear Chick,

Soccer Dad expanded on my post about trying to figure out soccer parents. He offers some interesting insights about sideline parents he's come across. Got me thinking some more.

As frustrated and baffled as I get with parents on the teams I coach, I can't help but find it all very fascinating. Why do they act that way? Click to continue reading...
