Sports parents go a tirade in ancient viral video

In an overly relatable scolding, Chris and Kellie Gennenez shared their “non-negotiable rules as sports parents” and social media users to comment on tunnels, jock straps and lawn pellets with their own suffering. And don't even let them start with travel sport.

As much as the parents love to complain about the trouble, they don't love it.

“It's a lot, but it's so much fun,” says Kellie to Today.com. Her husband adds: “We somehow thrive in it.”

The 13 -year -old son Jace plays football, basketball and baseball in the household of Genneez. The 10 -year -old son Jaxon plays flag football, baseball and wants to add basketball. Daughter Joelle, 8, plays basketball and softball. They have sports practices at least six days a week (sometimes seven), which are detailed and colored on a whiteboard that is managed by Kellie.

It is not surprising that both Chris and Kellie are experienced athletes. Chris played professional baseball and Kellie played volleyball at Division 1. So you are familiar with team sports … but now you will experience them from the overarching perspective.

Here is, for example, the first “rule” that Kellie performed in the video: “Make sure you hide your tunnels in the toughest place, but then you don't say that you can only find them when we leave the door.” (You recently found a single little one in your bathtub.)

Here are the rest of the “rules”, the Gimenez family, who lives in Reno, Nevada, lives from:

• “You are not allowed to come home with a water bottle. You leave it in a field we are on.”
• “As soon as we are finished to play the sport, take all of your shoes immediately.
• “Make sure if you take off your uniform – cup, socks, everything – – I want you to be in a ball.”
• “You have to take out your cup. You have to put it in a very visible place like the table.”
• “After the game when we ask you to take a shower, you immediately answer with 'Why? I didn't sweat.'”

Spectators mingled with funny additions such as:

• “Grow your equipment and tell anyone. Put it on and complain that it is too tight on matchday.”
• “Whenever you have white baseball trousers, make sure that you cover every centimeter of you with orange clay dirt and/or grass. I like a good challenge on the tin day.”
• “Register only for sports with expensive equipment. Then you will have to switch to a new sport next year where you cannot use beforehand.”
• “If you take off your tunnels, baseball or football, make sure that you shake them over the entire car or the house so that we can enjoy these rubber pellets from the lawn forever. I never want to see them everywhere.”

Chris and Kellie say that the biggest difference between sports when they grew up and do sports, which is every season for a long time.

“Travel sport is so widespread. They go all year round,” says Chris. “It is always baseball season or it is always basketball season or football season.” Nowadays you cannot put away any devices because it is still used. “I played baseball of the Major League for 16 years and (travel sports) is more of a commitment than a professional player.”
