That still doesn't eliminate having to deal with the parents of other teams at games.
I coached my twin daughters' indoor soccer team the last two consecutive seasons. The team that won the championship the first season (we came in 2nd) has the shittiest parents I've ever come across. I'm talking.....openly mocking and talking shit about the kids on my team. Anyways....there's one Mom that would routinely come into my coaches box during the game to take pictures of her kid or yell at her kid to do something. Every time I've told her to get out of my area. The last time it happened....my assistant coach went over to their head coach and asked him if he could control his parents. Apparently that meant that the head coach of that team would come and try to start a fight with me in the middle of the ****ing game. I'm talking in my face....screaming obscenities. I kept my cool (and we won)....but I've literally never had anything like that happen before. And my daughters are 7....so it's not older kids.
