Girl soccer players the new mean girls

Tough guy dad in here, if you're not a troll, you're amazing. The idea that you're sitting there pecking away at your keyboard thinking you've got it all figured out and handing out life lessons has made my day.

Whiney mom in here, while I am remarkable, I don't think I'm amazing. That word gets tossed around way too much. However"

Have it figured out? No.

Can offer an informed opinion, whether you like it or not? yes

But, glad I can keep you entertained between hugs.

I'm picturing tough guy dad as that rah rah kid on my football team who wasn't athletic enough to play a lot, but considered himself a "glue guy" or an "energy guy" and the "heart and soul of the team." Put everything his slow little body could give him into those up-downs at practice for sure. A true inspiration.

Yep. Like, maybe they were a 7-th round pick, taken on a flyer, who got past all their physical limitations and became a leader. A demanding, hard-nosed leader that everyone loved. Or, maybe they were just an undersized player who played with heart only and, again, everyone loved and respected.

Oh, wait, we are talking about girls. Those aren't positive attributes to the Bubble Wrappers.

Ha, you are such a dbag. Do you even know how you sound right now? I am sorry for anyone that knows you.

Wow the social hunger games in girls soccer is off the rails. Parents reign in your kids! Coaches get a grip on your team dynamics! If Worcester Academy really canceled games due to team dynamics aka harassment and exclusionary behavior then good from them. Hopefully, club teams will take some responsibility for the behavior of their players. We have kids in high level soccer, lax and hockey. The vile behavior on the club soccer teams is unrivaled in either of the other high level sports. They may not be perfect but our other club sports know you're not developing if you can't work cohesively as a team. And that requires basic common decency.

Unfortunately most of this behavior by players is driven from the parents.parents who encourage their daughters to not take anything from anyone and give it back both physically and mentally repeatedly. This type of behavior is mostly hereditary. I commend coaches/club/DOC’s who will not tolerate such behavior. Most of the top clubs/top teams have 0 tolerance because the ramifications is being kicked off the team. I will tell you with the top teams it’s not tolerated at all. Team captains will make sure that those players who act in a way that affects teammates or the team will be dealt with immediately. Same if parents become directly involved they will not be tolerated. There is no player above the team. This is a fact.

Right back at ya', Luis Rubiales!

I'm much more comfortable treating young women like people and not coddling them out there because they aren't some representation of 1950's "ladylike". So disgusting how some of you want to treat women....I'd hoped we were past that. I'm no bleeding heart liberal, but you MAGAdiots give the rest of us a bad name.

Since you asked, this is how I sound right now:

tap tap tap tap space bar tap tap tap tap space bar space bar tap tap tap....

Team captains are they problem!! We need them to pipe down and stay out of it. They shouldn't be imposing their wants on the rest of the team.

Can we start by defining what we mean by girl?

If I had team captains I’d choose 4 actual role models. Not necessarily the oldest or the studs. I’d choose the positive players who mentor, lift up teammates, cheer them on, and encourage inclusive to create a stronger team that’s bonded.

Isn't that a Spirit Team?

Which club do these “mean girls” play at?

Yeah, you were none of those things though, Scrapper. Here's a little secret: You can teach your kid to be a decent human being, and expect the same from teammates, without wrapping her in bubble wrap.

Parents like yourself who spread their DNA are the problem. Team Captains are chosen by the players & coaches for their leadership. My daughter has been on teams with those players who impose themselves on who they think they could take advantage of. Captains immediately deal with them privately and if that doesn’t work the coaches handle it straight away. Those players are not part of the team.

Decent, defined by whom?
