Youth soccer games seems to bring out the worst in adults. Parents and coaches yell at refs, the players and each other. It has caused a national referee shortage. One coach has an idea, silent soccer. Where adults can't yell anything from the sidelines.
Maansi Srivastava/NPR. "I think it's the best way to teach a child. You're not going to make [games] player-centric when the parents are shouting from the sideline, giving directions to the players, and the coaches are giving direction to the players. That's what we have practice for."includes dozens of videos of grown-ups losing it at youth games, sent to him from people around the country.
"Distracting behavior is communicating to a player while they're in the middle of trying to perform a task or while they're in the middle of trying to think and be aware and make a decision on the field," says Eddy. Eddy says lots of level-headed parents do this,"We think we're helping oftentimes, but in fact, we're distracting players from learning."
"Most excitingly to me, over 40% of parents who take the course say that their relationship with their child improved as a result of taking just this-15 minute course where we're finally stepping in and educating parents and giving them some moments to reflect and some guidance about how children learn and how sport is learned," she says.Barlow is pretty confident kids don't want to hear their parents or be coached by them.
