Semifinals are set: Chester Co. VS Fairview Creekwood VS Jackson Southside

That makes more sense if you thought the parents were coaches on the team bench. That can still be a slippery slope, as you will always have that one parent who will think that coach is giving their own kid more opportunities, but that situation is VERY different than have a parent “ coaching” from the spectator stands. Having said that, I edit my original response to say, if the parent is qualified, the school system allows it, and the interview process is the same for anyone applying for the job…I see nor harm here. I personally know 3 coaches who have coached their own kids. No real issues with any of them, all know the game, and all appear to coach unbiased.

I would also pose a question back to you - how do you see it is not a problem? But you cannot mention losing seasons or horrible coaching.

The problem is the kid will not be paying attention to instructions of the coach, if they are constantly looking into the stands for instructions from a parent. Add the fact I have never witnessed a parent coaching a kid from the stands that didn't have a different agenda than what the coach/team/program had. Many of these parent coaches only care how many points their child has in their career, even if the team has a losing season every year. I am all for parents supporting and giving their kids advice, but the end of the advice part should be "But, you do whatever your coach tells you to do if it is different than what we discussed".

In my opinion kids taking instructions from parents is the bigger problem here! :)

Not the end the Jackets wanted, but a great season for a team that started out 0-2 to two teams I feel they would have beaten at the end of the season. Until next year Jackets!

Looks like Fairview is the only one to survive round 1! Any thoughts on their match up this week with Liberty Creek? Outside of the x's an o's I was disappointed in the crowd at the Nest on Friday. Being a long time fan and having 2 kids go through the program, it was one of the worst I have seen - probably since I have been attending games. I know times change through the years, there is more for kids to do now, which means parents are busier too. I just hope this Friday, even with rain in the forecast, we as a community can make up for it! This team and coaching staff have come a long way from the 0-2 start, the band has worked countless hours on their performance, and the cheerleaders are there week in, week out cheering in all kinds of weather! Our community needs to do it for them!

I agree 100%! I made a comment to a coach after that game…the score did not reflect how Fairview played that game! Those boys left that game with much needed confidence, especially those younger starters!

Great assessment!

You can't forget supper at Dos!!!! LOL!

You were spot on for the Jackets. But it was a good win and I am sure exciting night for the players.

Thanks for the info!

It was just a guess, I don't know anything about either team.

I know a Fairview super fan who is going to be mad about this change - he is worn out after a 7:00 p.m. game! LOL! But I am glad they are moving it - it is HOT!
