Hearing reports of a Game Leader calling U10 players f ucking c unts during a game on the weekend even heard by parents. Obviously players on the visiting side not their side.
(Had to break up the words as not even this forum allows it)
Let me be clear that whoever did this needs to be spoken to pretty sternly by his/her club and not be allowed anywhere near a kids game again (at the very least).I would also love to see clubs pull some of their more vocal parents into line as well,some of the crap i heard go down on the weekend towards a ref by both teams, both coaches and both benches was ridiculous.The ref wasnt doing a bad job it was clear most of those abusing had no idea of the rules.I saw one ref give a pen and then had to explain to everyone that yes 11 and 12's have pens now.When coaches and clubs dont communicate this stuff to parents it just adds to the frustration towards officials.Blame NNSW all they want for not providing proper refs but if your day consists of yelling over the fence at a volunteer ref at an under 11's game then you are a certain kind of cretin.As they get older everyone is feeling a much bigger sense of entitlement in this program and some are in for a very rude shock if they talk to officials like that once they make grade.
But back to your original point lets hope this person is made an example of as far as behaviour from everyone is concerned.
💯 agree, parents who abuse referees need to have a long hard look at themselves. It’s embarrassing.
As for the language used by a game leader it’s also deplorable if true.
When do people get back to its junior sport, just because you pay more money for your child to play doesn’t give you the right to abuse anyone.
I’ll give it up if parents are fighting at a under 10’s game. They don’t even keep score. If true they should be punted from the club. I get it punishes the kid but the parents might pull their head in when their kid has to find a new club and they realize the consequences for acting like a goose
Did any of that stuff really happen or is it the usual embellished Chinese whispers?
At least 16 cop cars and the riot squad weren’t called
There was a altercation at LMFF Saturday for the under 10s match between Weston and Olympic coaches, not sure of the full details as i was a long way away
This whole page.. I just ... no words, I can't even.
Well maybe, some words; Almost every coach I have had contact with in the JDL system has genuinely cared for their team, and most care for the opposition as well. This is just the way it should be.
I assume that any altercation took place in the presence of the children - surely both/all coaches are done coaching juniors.
Its actually really simple, The TD for the JDL speaks to the parents. You are no longer allowed to come to games, you can drop your child off but you must leave and cannot stay. If you choose to ignore that rule, then we will also have to ask your child to leave as well. Has happened on occasion in the old system. :banned:
Thanks Kitz - that is the way it was explained to me as well.
In the case that if it was coaches involved - in most cases the coach is also a parent - what would the process be?
I know in our club coaches are asked to sign/agree-to a code of conduct - I assume there are also processes at NNSWF level.
Just such a distasteful situation all around.
