Question for you all..
If a parent (no involvement in coaching or anything) is shouting abuse from the sideline, what is the correct procedure you do?
Don't mind hearing what you'd do, but would like to know the correct procedure.
For me, I'd have a chat with the coach of said parents team asking him to either have a word with parent to calm down/shut up or ask him to leave.
In no means would I talk to said parent myself.
If then mention that if no action is taken, and that the parent continues, I'll report the facts to the league/county or even welfare officer for club/league as a parent is likely watching a youth match.
I've always believed that this is correct procedure but have a slight nagging doubt.
I know in supply football etc that abuse from the stands are part of the norm, whether we like it or not or should accept it, but we can't just stop the game and point him/her out and ask them to leave because I'm a snowflake and want them gone so guess the same rules apply to park football.
It is rare that a parent these days abuse you to a point that you need to take some action but what is correct procedure?
