Unhappy, frustrated son

[Anonymous]

So only you know how much your son can persevere. The last thing you want is for him to quit soccer if he loves the game. If he can persevere, then talk to the coach again. Talk to other parents. See if you can help improve things. If you are not sure he can persevere, then leave the team NOW! It would have been better if you left over winter but leave now. Your options would be...find another team, regardless of level. Keep in mind that you may not get a refund so this may be a financial hit. If you can't find another travel team, see if you can get into rec. Trust me, playing a season of rec will not hurt him. Have him train with a travel team and do the rec practices. have him play with his friends and the love of the game will return.

For your next team, do your homework. Find the right fit for him. Take him to a few practices before you commit.

You can't take him to the closest club and toss him in there and hope for the best.

Is there more than just the coach’s style at play here? Bullying by teammates? It’s all sad to hear about—best of luck

We had the same experience on a girls team. We left. There is nothing to learn from a coach who is unkind. That isn’t a life lesson, it is inappropriate at this age.

Move on. Now.
Contact nearby clubs and ask if your son could try out because you are interested in moving clubs for the spring season. It’s not too late.
Once you have an offer, say goodbye to the current club. This is damaging to your child and it’s not worth staying. You’ve tried to address it and the club hasn’t been responsive.
Bye bye.

She's not going to say which club b/c it will out her.

Will your coach be the same next year? Try outs are starting now so I'd consider your optinons.

Leave the abuser.

We went through this, and it did not get better. Coach seemed to have mental issues.

Wow abuser is a harsh label. It doesn't seem like too many other parents are complaining about this coach on here. Maybe it is more of the case that the kid is a snowflake. Remember there are always 3 sides to every story Players, coaches, and the truth.

Move
Leave
Now

Seriously. The vast majority of kids who quit youth sports do so at this age and the number one reason is "it's not fun anymore". You are in a toxic environment, that you are paying for, that is ruining your kid's love of the game.

Get out. Get away from toxic coaches. Do not tolerate behavior from a coach that you wouldn't tolerate from an educator.

Start practicing wtih another team ASAP so you are ready for tryouts and if your current club complains just walk.

We dont even know if there is a victim...
But lets label a coach an abuser is fine????
Also raise your children from toddlers no to be a victim. Stand up for yourself from day one.
Theres a difference between getting a yelled at and being abused. There are a lot more sensitive snowflakes out there

Oh, you’re a MoCo coddled lawyer. Keep your kid on the team as he needs to experience adversity, lest he end up like you and all the other weaklings in that county.
