Football Parents (2025)
A group of overbearing parents who shamelessly meddle in their children's amateur football careers. We are introduced to this world through Lillian and her son Levi, who is new to the team. Lillian quickly realizes she wants to escape from this quirky group of parents, especially from Marenka, who is the last person you want to deal with on a Saturday morning. However, Levi wants to stay and even forms a friendship with Vito, the most eccentric kid of all, who happens to be Marenka's son.

    Mostly fun, and it makes you think about how parents behave towards their kids during play and sports.

    Mostly very funny 😄 - lots of laughs, especially if you've ever seen (or been) that overly-excited-sports-parent (or coach).

    I had a good time watching it, and heard a lot of laughter while watching with friends!

    But there is a little message too: It pokes fun at the way adults sometimes take kids' games a bit too seriously. Behind the humor is a gentle reminder: maybe it's not about winning, coaching from the sidelines, or turning every match into the World Cup. Sometimes it's just about letting kids play, mess up, and enjoy the game - while we try to chill a bit too.

    Have a look, enjoy, and next time try to be that supporting(!) parent for your kid ;-)

    Disappointment

    A good comedy based on situations in reality Arent easy to make and this show proofs it. None of the characters are funny or you can have a connection with. Sure you do recognize all the stereotype parents on the sidelines, but here it doesnt work. The characters are too flat. Luckily there are only 6 30 minuten episodes, but it says a lot I havent laughed a single time during these 3 hours. The writer of this series has proven herself in the past, but this time she focussed too much on her own role she was playing, which causes all other actors had no space to do something with their roles. Too bad, since the idea had potential.

    A Masterpiece - Funny, Emotional, and So Real

    I usually never leave reviews, but I couldn't help myself with this one. Voetbalouders is a solid 11/10 - it's hilarious, emotional, and incredibly well-made.

    As someone who played football (soccer) since childhood, this series hits home on so many levels. It perfectly captures how every parent has their own agenda, while the child just wants to enjoy the game. The show portrays this dynamic beautifully - it's an absolute joy to watch.

    If you've grown up playing football and have a passion for the sport, this will easily be one of the best series you've ever seen. Every kid who's ever played can see themselves in at least one of the characters.

    It's the first time I've ever given a 10 on IMDb - and honestly, I'd give it a 20/10 if I could.

    The cast is brilliant, the setting is spot on, and everything just clicks. Highly, highly recommended!

    Bro

    "The only thing I understood from this 6-episode mini series was that someone had to stay in the locker room to protect Ela. It was a terrible show." "Protecting Ela was the only thing that stood out. Everything else was messy, dull, and poorly executed. Definitely not worth watching." Berbat ama ela güzeldi.

    And I don't even like football

    I watched this series even thought I don't even like football. However, it is very relatable for any parent. It shows us how parents can be childish and spiteful, but also loving and caring towards both their children and other grown ups.

    We all know some of these characters, and even if they are somewhat exaggerated, they feel like real people with real issues.

    Although the characters are very alike those in Luizenmoeder, the story is different and the interactions are more between the parents than the teachers/trainers.

    I really enjoyed Voetbalouders. My kids enjoyed it too. It is a family friendly, comedy with heart. I would certainly watch a second season.
