Then we just got used to him not being there.
The parents of the kids on this team were also strange. It's u-12, so they should be sticking around still. There were maybe 3 parents there. The rest would just drop them off.

Oh. Okay. He was just an ass.
I shouldnt say that, I've dealt with lots of volunteer coaches from whom too much was asked. Its actually how I got into coaching and then the same thing happened to me.
I will say this:
In outdoor each kid should bring his own ball. You give the balls out on Day 1 and after that its the Kid's responsibility to bring it to every game and practice.
And that guy wasnt invested. I dont know why, but if you dont care about the players, the sport or the kids, why do it? Step aside and let someone who does care do it.
Why be a coach who doesnt care? That doesnt make any sense in my mind. We're not getting paid, so you'd better find a way to make this a meaningful experience for everyone or you should STFU and get out of the way.
