No, it doesn’t get better. The parents are literally the worst part of the deal. Rarely are the kids are an issue.

Set the expectations clearly and early with the parents then hold them accountable. Holding them accountable is the hardest part.

One of my favorites is that if you’re coaching from the sideline then I’ll pull your kid out of the game so you can coach them privately.

I think parents should be banned from attending games. 99% of of the problems will go away.
