Kid's sports - parent's perspective needed

[lookout123]

yeah, thanks - but i'll pass on the england job. just not enough talent in that bunch.

but seriously the more i think about it there really isn't much to be done but just have fun. i'm not worried about my kids getting out of hand. they're a good bunch and i do work on sportsmanship issues with them.

it has only been two weeks in this session with 8 more to go but i've been coaching in this club for 2.5 years now so i know pretty much everyone involved and most of the kids too. the two teams we've beat are on the higher side quality wise but the toughest team by far is this coming saturday. i've coached every single kid on that team at least one season and they're good.

i do have little tracking games i keep tabs on throughout the season and i do set goals for the kids individually so i'll figure something out. my own kid was pretty selfish with the ball about a year ago so i had to set the rule with him that he had to have 1 assist before he was allowed to take a shot on goal. it worked well with him, i may try that with a couple others.

anyway, i live in the kids' soccer world so my perspective is a little skewed. I guess i was just looking for thoughts from parents of what they're thoughts would be if they saw their kids' team get trampled.
