    On the Field, kinda?

    Anyone watched this on Netflix? I have a son in youth sports so I've been fascinated by it.

    Discovered it a few weeks and have watched all 4 seasons. Some terrible coaches and parents. Some hilariuos stuff, too.

    I have watched them all on Netflix as well. The coaches spend more time fighting with each other instead of coaching. Will be interesting to see if we hear from any of these kids once they make it to high school.

    Loved it. Most coaches trying to relive their glory years imo. The one case that is the worst, is the guy who basically gives up his family to do it. Sad, and he’s totally inept as a coach and leader.
    I thought it was very interesting on our youth sports overall though.
    Love coach Fred, and would offer the Mizzell kid yesterday!

    LC,
    Coached 4 and was the Commissioner for 1.
    Loved the kids, despised many coaches and tried to get one banned for being a complete idiot to 3rd and fourth graders.
    Most parents were good, the bad ones broke my heart.
    It can be a circus.
    Also, my running joke was I was the only coach who didn’t QB his Idaho( or some obscure state) to a championship.
    I did see a few episodes, brought back too many bad memories
