I coached little league competitive baseball for 10 years. Every kid knew why they weren’t playing or what I expected for them to keep improving to stay as a starter.
But, I coached a year of rec ball before competitive and I wasn’t 22 but 30. Give him some slack or help coach. |

1. These coaches need licenses and get paid, so you aren’t helping him coach. 2. Cutting some slack only goes so far when you’re paying a decent amount of money to have your kid play. Some of these coaches are complete shit. I’ve dealt with one of them in the past and it took us moving my daughter to a different club. Plus it set her behind in development. |

I repeat for emphasis: they were importing coaches from Europe. |

Our Coach had only taught skills until this season and this was his first year Coaching teams. I have heard other Parents from other teams he coaches say they won't come back if their kid has him as a coach next season, but I will believe that when I see it. Unfortunately there are a lot of Parents that use this as a status symbol more than anything else. |

Youth soccer sounds like a shit show to me if it is so competitive an 8 year old kid has to tryout for a team.

All sports have try outs for teams younger than that. Parents have to cover $2000-$10K a season to play with the best teams. I’m glad my kid aged out before it got like that.
