2008 ECNL-RL (first coach quit in late spring a month after tryouts, then second coach left, HYS told parents not hiring another coach)
2010 ECNL-RL
2011 ECNL-RL
2013 ECNL-RL
2014 pre-ECNL

So almost all of their boys 1st teams lost their coaches. A coach who had the 2nd 2010/2013 team also left.

names or initials of these coaches?

All the fall coaches are listed on Herndon's website.

OK, people need to calm down a bit. If you look at the HYS website or are familiar with the club, then you know that those 5 teams a PP listed were coached by a total of two coaches. It's not 5 coaches who left, at least not for those teams. For 3 of the 5 teams there is a new coach who transitioned in well before the previous coach had their last day. Those teams were not suddenly left without a coach.

It stinks to have a coach leave midseason, but things are not as dire as this poster is trying to make it sound. Not sure what their motivation is, maybe they just like drama.

So 3 coaches total left? And they hired one replacement coach? That doesn't sound great.

I only know about the one replacement coach -- doesn't mean others haven't been hired. That may be true, maybe not. Unlike some others I am not going to speak about things for which I have no real info.

I’m pretty sure OP said “…those 5 teams a PP listed were coached by a total of two coaches”

Don't worry HYS parents. It's all figured out. Heck, even the TD "won" VYSA girls' competitive coach of the year!

Are there even any girl's teams that are winning? I thought we didn't even have girl's teams at every age group and that's why we borrowed a couple teams from Sterling?

Great point! How does he win Competitive coach of the year but his teams are 1-8-0 and 6-4-1. What are we talking about? The teams are also made of half HYS girls and half Sterling girls as both clubs don't have enough numbers

Here comes the... "He left for family reasons, to spend more time with his wife and kids" like he hasn't been married for 10+ years and has older kids. People don't just up and leave their career to spend more time with family all of a sudden during a season. Let's be real

Coaches leave because they aren't give an the authority they think they deserve, the choice of coaching a team they developed, the backing of the director, the pay or all of the above. At HYS... It could be all of those things

I strongly suspect it is something like this. I can think of at least two instances where decisions were made/information, not shared with coaches in a timely manner. It’s a terrible way to treat a long time Coach, who is also a really good person. I think JLC is the problem. He is either on a power trip or really stupid. Maybe both.
