Shoot us a text, just like your kid shoots for the goal!" ⚽🏆

Listener be advised, you may hear some expletives and scary moments from on the field. May not be suitable for young ears.

Ever been at a youth soccer match where the parents were more dramatic than the game itself? Katie and Cari take you behind the scenes of the wildest sideline behavior they've witnessed and collected from listeners across the country.

From F-bombs being hurled at 12-year-olds during a consolation game to a Spanish-speaking mom who didn't realize Cari could understand every insult she was muttering, the stories range from cringe-worthy to genuinely concerning. One particularly powerful moment came when a referee stopped an entire game to address disruptive parents: "If any of you want to come out on this field in 90-degree weather and do what we do, please go sign up, otherwise keep your mouth shut."

The hosts explore the varying rules about where parents should sit during games—some regions have strict protocols while others are a free-for-all, often contributing to unnecessary conflict. They share listener-submitted sideline comments that'll make you laugh and wince: "Soccer isn't a contact sport—", "Your toe hurts because you dribble too much. Pass the ball," and perhaps most disturbing, "I'll give you $100 to take her out."

The conversation takes a serious turn when Katie recounts a local incident where a parent argument led to false rumors of an active shooter at a tournament, causing panic with children dropping to the ground and climbing fences to escape. This sobering story underscores their central message: adults need to remember why they're at these games—for the kids. Whatever happens during the match should stay on the field, not follow players and families into the parking lot or beyond.
