The show premiered following the success of another similar reality series entitled Showbiz Moms & Dads and Showdog Moms & Dads.

Roger Catlin of the Hartford Courant criticized the show by saying that it was "all presented without experts stepping in to say how involved parents should be in their children's sports dreams. Instead, it's pure voyeurism."[3]
