It's simple....relax and realize the worst thing that will happen is they score.  If they don't you have nothing to worry about.  Remember this is ONLY  a game and its meant to be fun and a learning experience both winning and losing.  At the end of the game you are still going to love your kid and you will still support them whether they win or lose.  Know that this is lacrosse and there will be many goals scored both for and against.  Some shots will be saved and some shots will be great, and will find their way into the back of the net.  This is a TEAM sport and the team will either win the game or lose the game, but they will do it as a team.  Take a deep breath and relax, your son or daughter will be okay. It's just a game and it's meant to be fun.

Do you ever feel isolated from the other parents on the team, because you are the goalie's parents?

First and foremost, take the initiative and organize social gatherings or sign-ups for the group. For example, try hosting a team/parent cookout at your house on a weekend. If your son or daughter plays on a club team where kids come from all over, speak to the coach and see if you can organize a team dinner after the games during a tournament…make the reservations, send the invite, etc. Another idea is to plan a team bonding activity at the team hotel.  Given the upcoming holiday season for example: initiate a gingerbread house decorating contest one evening in the hotel lobby/breakfast area where you break the families into teams and have a hotel staff member or coach judge. Another GREAT idea would be to organize a Pizza Night in the team hotel lobby/dining area and invite all of the families to pitch in for a team dinner if as opposed to going out to restaurant. If all else you could take the initiative purchase coffee and/or hot chocolate boxes and donuts from Dunkin- with all of the fixings. (and MAYBE a bottle of Irish Cream for the adults who wished to indulge :) If you are good at photos or video is another good way to reach out, that is if you are good at editing and then drop the photos or videos into google docs for the families who want it.   If this is a little too “much” for you, you could always start with inviting a couple of kids on the team, whom your son/daughter has befriended, out to dinner after a game, or back to your room to watch movies, and/or order pizza in the lobby. This will allow you a good reason to interact with their moms and dads and hopefully strike up a conversation or two and make a connection.
