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 ;-)

This is a solid comic series. I would love to see it having season 2. It wasn't THAT good in the first half of the show because the audience are still seeing the parents who are annoying and unlikable. Most parents' characters are superficial and single-layered particularly in episode 1 and 2. However, the magic of the show is it brings the audience into the kids' perspective. From the second half of the show, you start to realize the show is not to seriously talk about how football parents parent, but joyfully talk about how football kids are being kids despite the dysfunctional parents. It has a warm and fairytale-like ending. You want to know what will happen to the team next. Also Ilse Warringa contributed incredibly fun screenplay!!
So please do not let haters stop you producing season 2. It is fun to watch! We should be more like kids than parents.

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!

Going to watch full of anticipation because ...lice mothers. But unfortunately, this series is sadly bad. All clichés are taken out of the closet and incredibly thickened and glued to characters, making you rather think you're looking at a failed farce. This is just really not fun. If this is Netflix worthy, then everyone can crawl behind their laptop for a week and go wild without wondering if so many over the top scenes still seem credible. I can't escape the impression that Ilse Warringa thought; I have a good series as a reference and can now easily cash in. Think she has now lost her credit with football parents.
This serie needs some time to get going. But after 3 episodes you start to get a feel for all the characters. In every parent or child you see behavior magnified that you also encounter in everyday life.
I think it is strikingly portrayed and recognizable and I certainly laughed.
Nice theme, football/soccer. Many children are going on weekly base to a club with their parents. And their struggles in live, which is showed in the serie, are certainly true and not one of a kind.
I would recomand the serie, give it a try and don't take it to seriously.
One question is there someone who like large app groups and the dynamic of it?
