You know what gets me as a parent of a sophomore in HS. My son has played soccer for 10 years. In all of those years up until this one I have stayed at practice. I might be in my car or walking in the park but I'm there. Watching and keeping an eye on what is going on the field. But I am in the minority. I know parents as young as 8 or 9 were dropping their kids off and driving away. Shocking, really. I hope this situation causes them to rethink that.
