I was pretty green as a youth sports parent when I wrote this. Now that the season is over I can say that it wasn't all roses and sunshine. All in all it was a great experience for my kids and our whole family. But we did see some ugly stuff too:
1. Parents who enjoyed complaining continually about the other teams' coaches.
2. Parents who called their kids off the bench to give them game tips or play critiques.
3. Parents who made their kids cry.
4. A dad who sat on the sideline playing with this Blackberry while 'watching' the game.
Is there any correlation to kids ministry? I'll try! There are difficult people wherever you go. Every organization has its bad apples. The negativity of a few does not necessarily affect the whole program.
Baseball and soccer are up next. I wonder what lessons they will hold?
