The club lied to lure our player on many many levels. The coach is disinterested and provides zero communication. The club is not responding to our concerns at all. 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.

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.
