Sounds like you are with the wrong club. My daughter's team is one of the most successful there is and they share the ball and parents cheer for all the girls. If any parent dared yell at their daughter to go to the goal there would be [lacrosse] to pay.


Keep telling yourself that. If you were forced to watch a hidden camera video of your sideline you would probably be mortified. Its apparent to everyone except travel parents.


Actually, all or our games are recorded and you can hear the sidelines. Sorry that you have these issues. All i can say is that all sidelines aren't like that. Our coach wouldn't stand for it and would cut a girl if the parents acted that way. Maybe you need a new coach.


Of the scads of games I've attended on the sidelines, this is true 5 percent at best--- rest of the time it is wall to wall bigmouths.


The only time I see this is when it's a blowout.
