This is on top of the crappy first tournament and the dangerous and cramped fields. I cannot say one good thing about this club.

Who did you reach out to? Did they just ignore you?

Julian Lee Chang. Emails were ignored. Is there someone above him?

He is very responsive. I find it shocking (more so unbelievable) that he ignored anyone.

I’m the PP who said we were ignored. He eventually responded but it took a long time and follow up email.

What was the response?

i am curious as well. we have not had a good experience this year coming over from a different club. The practices need admin supervision. Every week there are multiple large groups of teens and adult men trying to play on the field throughout their entire practice, kids riding bikes and scooters right through the practices, and money and a hoodie were stolen from my son's soccer bag on the sideline at Hutchison last week. I have heard Arrowbrook is even worse but luckily we don't practice there. The coaches can't keep the random people off the field. They need to close the field areas completely during the team practices.

Why not have parents help keep others off the field?

So as parents we are supposed to pay $3000 a year to the club AND we should be policing the field to make sure our kids have a safe area to play? What are we paying the money for? The club has more than enough coaches, admins and people getting paid to provide a safe environment for the kids to play.
Do you go to a restaurant, pay for your food then go in the back and cook it yourself?

Its at a public space and even though there are permits to reserve fields, the people that visit the field are absolutely clueless about it. They see the field open on weekends or off days and assume its always open to the public. Then they don't understannd why a coach or parent has to tell them to get off and think its racial profiling or bullying them into who has right of field.

Maybe having an LED lighting system that lights RED when not open to public and GREEN when open. Who knows...

The club needs to communicate to the community, mark the fields and provide a safe environment for the kids. Many of the other clubs will have club personnel "police" the area and let everyone know that they can't be on the field. It shouldn't have to be a paying parent who is dropping off their child for practice.

Boys or girls? Level?

I think they had a Girls Coach, CL who left for a club in Texas to be their TD. If that is who you're referring to, a promotion and the cost of living difference were some factors.

The scores were up and accurate right after each game. Then this week, three of the four games, Herndon's score completely changed.

Probably need more details, but what I suspect you are seeing is that ECRL caps game results at a goal difference of 7. However, there is no formal control in place for this, and so often the ref reports the actual score, and then within ~24 hours the score is adjusted on the website. E.g. Team A beats Team B 10-1. The score might initially show up on the website as 10-1, then a day later show up as 8-1.

I think you are right. LMVSC got destroyed last year and the score reported 7-0, but it was really 17-0.

My husband is reffing Herndon tonight and I’m scared for his integrity after learning of Herndon parents not being good sportsmanship. Should I advice him to call 911 at halftime to prepare for potential mass confrontations?

At bready they have big signs they put up, people in the "community" don't care. Expecting them to have the resources to police all the fields every night there is practice is asking a lot. No other club needs to do this. Random people is not their responsibility. Call the non emergency police number give them the day and time ask them to come out see if after a few times if it helps or not. This really is something you as an adult can take action on instead of complaining.

Is there a point to posting random scores?

You sound absolutely ridiculous. Have him call 911 (EMERGENCY!) for POTENTIAL mass confrontations?! Any way how did it go for him?

What are you talking about? "The club"? Do you mean the coach? The soccer director? Retaliated how?

At this point in the season, did they not start him? What age group? Did they leave him off a roster? Did they demote him to a lower team? Was it the coach? What did they do? -Whay did they retaliate against your son? Did he do anything? Did you do anything?

I think HYS is a dump but to think a club would take the time to "retaliate" against your kid is absurd. Maybe they were sick and tired of dealing with a crazy parent(s) and just cut the kid or put him on another team. You have to understand that you and your precious kid are not the only kids playing for the club.

Hence the founding of Club Deportivo Sterling. Here to take HYS and Sterling SC piece of the pie until they have none left para comer!

This is a rec org for disadvantaged kids with maybe 3 or 4 teams total, they play games even for teenagers on terrible elementary school grass fields.No one is worried about
competing with them. But good for them for trying to help out their community.
