In Spain it’s that they only serve Estrella beer at the games.

Actually, people should want to sit on sunflower seeds. Sunflower seed shells are allelopathic, which means that they produce a chemical that inhibits the growth of other plants. This property makes sunflower seed shells well-suited for use as mulch in gardens and flower beds because of their ability to suppress weeds.
(since a bunch of other stupid arguments seem to be happening).
lol.
For me, it's the opposite. When we're winning, especially by a lot, that's when I want to be sure the opposing parents stay on their side. I've seen dads pacing the wrong sidelines looking for a fight...
https://coastsoccer.com/CSL-rules-2018.pdf
“H. All players, parents, administrators and spectators of each team must, where possible, stay on their respective side of the field (at least five (5) yards off the sideline) during all games. Administrators shall have the right to request the referee to enforce this rule during the game. Failure to comply with these rules shall, at the referee’s discretion, result in the game being suspended. The offending team may be brought before the CSL Board of Directors or its designee for disciplinary action.
1. Respective side shall be determined by the HOME TEAM. The HOME TEAM shall select its side of the field and the VISITING TEAM shall go to the opposite side of the field. The HOME TEAM is the team that is listed 1st on the CSL Match Report.”
The refs I have asked to enforce this rule in Coast don't.
Is there a similar enforcement rule for CRL?
Not an issue when the people are respectful. I have had some great conversations with opposing parents. But when they start to badmouth kids, I want them moved.
Coast and Presidio follow the procedure of each team/parent group on opposite sides of the field. CRL, SCDSL, DA, US Youth/Cal South, follow a standard of teams on one side and parents directly opposite the team bench.
As a parent of a GK, I find myself at least 1/2 the game "in enemy territory." I generally have my tripod and camera sitting there filming (err ... digitally recording ... as there is no film involved). I listen, bite my tongue, don't cheer and just film ... digitally record ... and will strike up a conversation now and then with another parent who often is the intelligent one that sits away from the crazies in the middle.
One of my favorite experiences when my son (Surf) was guesting for a FC Bayern team in his Surf GK kit. The Bayern team was playing a Surf Academy team. The parents on the Surf Team were pretty cool and very complimentary of the Surf GK playing for Bayern. After the game at least 5 different (enemy parents) came up to my son after the game and praised his play. The fact they were all Surf parents praising another Surf GK probably had something to do with it ... of maybe they were just being nice because I wasn't an ass while filming/digitally recording.
I'll never know.
