@Teamgrassroots_ Me and Shawn were those parents 2 years ago. We are absolutely loving every second. Best thing we've ever done. I do not look forward to our journey ending so we are enjoying every moment until that day. Just remember you did make a difference. ♥️

So after 8 years of coaching my son and his grassroots team our journey has come to an end.
This week my son packed away all his trophies from the last 8 years except one, his U8s managers player award , the one I gave him, this makes me proud and upset at the same time.😢
Unless you have been a parent coach, coaching your child or a player coached by a parent you will never fully understand the challenges and sacrifices this often thankless task brings for both.
As pre season starts I just wanted to shout out them coaches and players. And to everyone else remember in most cases that parent put their hand up when no one else did so look after them!

@Teamgrassroots_ It just keeps getting worse. The coach of the team who's parents are being abusive should be the one to pipe up first an get his line in order. Id be mortified if one of my players parents piped up towards the ref. We tell our players to accept the refs decision regardless.

Sadden to hear this 😢 - No Ref No Game !
My son is one of the nicest, kindest people you will meet so it absolutely hurts my heart that as a referee - he has to put up with some of the most abusive comments & behaviour.
He has put hours of training, reading, DBS checks, health & safety training & more into something he always dreamed of doing.
Recently, he refereed at a tournament, where he encountered the most disgusting verbal abuse, personal comments & a frightening situation which could of escalated very quickly.
This was not banter, this was abuse at it's worse.
Luckily, the person there who was in charge of the referees dealt with this appropriately & removed the whole team from the tournament. They were disqualified on the spot.
My lad has been so put off by the level of abuse that he has witnessed directly & towards other referees in the last few months, that he has decided to chuck in a job he was so passionate about doing.
£30 to spend 90 minutes or more being told you are rubbish, blind, biased, incapable of doing your job, useless plus the personal comments & even threatened with "we will be waiting for you in the car park" is totally & utterly disgraceful behaviour.
Respect your referees or lose them. Countless qualified referees are walking away from this job every day as they are worth more than the abuse they receive.
These referees are also human, they have feelings, things going on in their lives that you know nothing about & these words can have consequences.
