some clubs in the southern league treat there support stuff and players like **** and wonder why they cant get help for future games. im a mother and my son played in U14s this yr, i helped out with every game, home and away, bbq, running water, interchange, trainer and when i heard a coach abuse his team (u16, on video and not the first time) i reported it to the committee as i think its not nessasary to swear at children to get them to listen to you. they decided it was beter to get rid of me and my help and bench my son for more than 1/2 a game for the rest of the season. fair? i think not!!!
since they have not requied my help for over 1/2 the season they have struggles with others helping out. no trainers. no water. no interchange and struggled with staff for the bbq.
this happens at many clubs where voulunteers help out for the sake of the kids, so they can play sport, and the bloody committee and people who are REAL CLUBBYS run the show. what im trying to say is realy a bit of addvice to any parent who is about to sign there kid up is. if your not a sheep and follow their rules and break them when they want them broken then your not gonna fit in. your childs footy will suffer and you will get a bad name for your self. they will make up storys to keep them looking good and make it your fault. that will follow you to any club you move to.
my tip is be a sheep and follow in suit or sit in your car and just watch.
my son has now given up footy because that club took away his love and passion for the game

The context of the F bomb is important IMO. If you're telling a player he's useless, not ideal, but if you're encouraging with it, do you have a problem with it then?

Come off it! They're kids! You don't have to drop the F bomb to get a point across! Kids look up to coaches as role models. So if you have brought your children up to not swear, It's ok for a coach to just swear as much as he likes??? The F bomb is important, haha. Come off it!

FFS. I said the CONTEXT on how the F-bomb is used is important. I didn't say it WAS important. But if my coach gets a bit passionate and says "We can f***ing do this" or "Get your f***ing act together", I don't think it's a crime against humanity.
"You're f***ing useless" or "F*** me swinging, you guys are playing s***house" would be more negative examples that could be frowned upon.

All sorts of issues to talk about but credit where credit's due, the cryptic thread title lured me in. Damn it!
