Only one kid benefits and the other dozen or so kids hate the experience. Why do clubs allow this?

Agree. It’s a freaking mess. And watching that kid get all the extra play and practice on all the older team… really sucks -

I’m from Washington. Happening at 2010 age group on the girls side. All the parents are pretty mad but no one can complain, afraid to rock the boat.

Not that it's any big deal, WSM does have a 2nd team player at a boys age group whose father is a coach. Coping with 2nd or 3rd team coach that has a child on a club team can often be a blessing for the team since the parent coach may be overqualified to be working these recreational/classic level players and the difficulty of finding quality 'coaches' that will work for peanuts to coach at the 3rd 4th rung of competitive soccer is not an easy task. I'm sure nearly every club in the state has a 'parent coach' involved with a specific gender and age group. BM has a 'dad' assistant coach with teams at updx, this comes into play when his serial digital efforts don't yield the players he wants: Leveraging the parent coach as a means to end for recruiting desirable players. Overall most clubs have a parent coach out of necessity. It is, what it is. Next.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Depends on the situation.
A lot of b and c team coaches are part time, often with kids on the club. Some times it turns toxic, sometimes it's fine.

Thorns Academy 09’s coach’s daughter is the only 2010 on the team. She is good, but can see it being a source of problems.Comment

I know enough to tell you that your kids success will not be based on a parent coaching their own kid.Originally posted by Guest View Post
it will 50% be based on your character and how much that will translate to your own kid and 50% on the time they spend in the sport.
You’ve already lost the character part complaining on this forum, I highly doubt the other 50% is more than any other kid who just goes to practice and that’s it.

I don’t care if she is good or not and talking about her is low.Originally posted by Guest View Post
I do care if he continues to scream at kids. Who would have thought a ex pro player with no experience coaching kids wouldn’t translate. Every single club has one and they are nightmares.Comment

The main issue with parent coach is that it's unfair, or perceived and unfair, either way it doesn't work. Child is either perceived as getting favoritism or parent coach is too hard on them to overcompensate. Should be avoided as much as possible on first teams. On second teams, not as much of a big deal usually, but the perception issue is always there. I used to coach in my son's age but took the second team so I could train same time/place and we'd go to same tournaments, but played lower level. Worked pretty well.Comment
