The incident too many took place this Saturday.
During a youth match at the Marcel Bec stadium, the ACBB coach was insulted by a parent.
This is the umpteenth slippage since the start of the season which has seen in particular fights between parents of two clubs, a mother who insults coaches, a father who enters the field at the break or at the end of a match to ask explanations to an educator, or even parents who are about to come to blows on a set of players in the category… U7 (under 7 years old)!
"Some parents do not accept that their son is a substitute"
"The big problem with football comes from the parents," says an educator.
They think they have the future Mbappé and that they are going to buy a villa with their son's money.

“Some parents do not accept that their son is a substitute and have inappropriate attitudes, declares the president of the acebebist section Pascal Quatrehomme.
We support our coaches.
But, the educators must also explain to the players their choices.
We also need more explanations and communication with those who do not play.
We want to mark the occasion by bringing together all the educators this Wednesday.
We already had a session with the parents at the start of the season to explain to them that the green rectangle is sacred, but we will do another one very soon.
If the parents do not agree to see their substitute child, how can they understand?
