Re: More Backroom Deals Than Tammany Hall - A Youth Soccer Tale

Have the parent stay home for the game. If they show up kick the family from the club. The rest of your families shouldn't have to deal with that parent on their sideline. If it was that bad that another family complained I doubt that it was the only thing they did at the game.
