Hi TS parent of a U9 player. Looking for advice in the best chair for the sidelines. Went to a game last season to check out our club and saw a lot of foldable rocker chairs. I知 sure there痴 a reason since no one was rocking them. Save me the veinless hotdog responses. I知 in a soccer family for the long haul so looking at a smart purchase.

Don't go with the beach chair. Too much of a pain in the butt to get in and out of. Get a chair that can collapse and put in a sling that you can carry. Not all fields are close to the parking lot so get one that doesn't weigh a ton. Most are pretty light anyway.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

This is an "oversized" one. Better more room than less. Go to a store like Cabelas and try some out. Make sure it's sturdy and will last you awhile. Get something cheap and you'll be getting one next year again. Beverage holder is a must for those blazing hot days. They do have them with a canopy but I've never used one. They look kinda weird, but I guess it does provide shade or protection from a little rain. I prefer to stand, but for tournaments I brought a chair. To each their own.Comment

Lightweight and comfortable, simple. Don't bother with the bells and whistles. Even for 90 min games I almost never take a chair but they are needed for tourneys where you may have a lot of down time at the location between games. Also, most likely, it will get lost/left behind at some point so don't spend a lot.Comment

I like this chair because it is easy to set up. I have a hard time sitting in direct sunlight so the canopy on this chair is really helpful. It can be adjusted to different heights and folds back behind the chair when not in use:

OP here - I am an in-shape man and do stand usually, but like another poster said between tournaments or having something of a home base for younger siblings during the game, I知 pretty sure we値l be packing a chair at least for optional use. Thanks for your ideas!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Seriously think about the thread you started on here. I mean, if your asking for opinions on major purchases like a home, car, what club to put your kid in etc, then fine. But a CHAIR??? Funniest thread in years. Thanks for thatComment
