Girl soccer players the new mean girls

[Guest]

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.

Be more accurate.

In middle school, excelling at club soccer is one path to popularity for girls.

And popular girls are 100% the mean girls.

By living in a bubble do you mean practicing common courtesy and not denigrating your TEAMMATES? Then yes I live in a bubble.

By living in a bubble do you mean shrinking anytime there is yelling on the pitch or that not everyone loves your li'l angel like you do? Then yes you do live in a bubble.

So you're parenting the misfit terrorizing the rest of her team. Do you scream on the sidelines or stand at the end of the field arms crossed glaring at everyone?

Worcester Academy did not cancel multiple games because players were yelling on the field. But I think I speak for your entire team when I say tell your loud mouthed kid to STFU.

Funny, because players on my kid team actually like the fire, like how she holds them accountable. Know that they need to play as hard as she does. Coach loves it, encourages it, because it makes everyone better on the pitch. After, they all are friends and hang together.

I think your kid is in the wrong activity. Sports are emotional.

Actually, no. First, I don't say anything to anyone. I keep to myself and avoid people who just complain all day long. However, if it matters, I was uncomfortable with some things I heard and had intended on asking her to tone it down. Before I could, coach reached out (without our asking) to let us know they love what she is bringing to the pitch, that there has never been so much energy on her teams before. She is able to act like a co-coach on the pitch, and sends the message quickly and concisely that the coach may not be able to during live action.

Nope, my kid will be long out of this by then. One thing she is not, is vanilla.

I think you are delusional. NO ONE wants to be screamed at by a fellow player. Literally no one. So you and your little firecracker might want to take a beat.

Yep. We definitely found that parent.

Tell us more about your little spitfire Mia! I’m enjoying this one. Do the girlies all line up to high five her? Terrified of her wrath, trying to avoid the public caning for missing a PK? Does the coach wave a cardboard cutout of her angry face to light a fire under the little brats who just aren’t working hard enough for her? Does she stomp her little feet when she’s been let down by the idiots she has to play with?

"Hey K---, you ok with A--- out there?"

"Yes, because she knows what buttons to press to get me going"

Really, sports just aren't your thing. That's OK, really. But, again, if the coach gave their approval, maybe mommy should step back?

[Guest]

So what team are we talking about.....And no a player should not be acting like a coach in the pitch. Sure they can help direct as long as they themselves take advice from their teammates

This thread will reveal very quickly the differences of parenting in our country. I teach my kids to treat all kids with respect and kindness no matter what their skill level on the soccer field to what they look like etc. Respect all including coaches, teachers etc. But there’s those who live in a kill or be killed world filled with ego and self centered behavior. They will always exist. Some will become popular some will be bullies. Yes I see it on soccer teams and in my kids grade. It’s very important to teach compassion and model empathy BUT you have to educate your kids about the nasty behaviors. They do have to get a thick skin and become mentally strong to deal with the D bags who lose their tempers driving, who intentionally hurt and scare others. Most importantly teach your kids to stick up to the D bags and stick up for those unable to protect themselves.
