soccer dads

Youth league parents

Soccer dads are fathers who actively participate in their children's youth soccer activities—driving to practices, attending games, bringing snacks.

The term parallels soccer mom but appears less frequently and carries less cultural weight.

Where soccer mom became shorthand for a demographic and voting bloc, soccer dad remains more literal: He's a total soccer dad now, spends every Saturday on the sidelines.
