My experiences are with the GA North program. I can’t speak to the boys side.

They are cleaning house and working to create a friendly and supportive culture.

The toxic parents have mostly left
but some still remain. I hope they can change their ways and adapt to the new culture BC is trying to create.

BC and his team want to teach GREAT soccer. Not track. Not boot it ball.

They are offering extra programming that my friends in other clubs have to find private trainers for. Rigorous summer training schedule, strength training, conditioning, futsal, nutrition.

BC & other new coaches say they see soccer as training for life. I agree.

I’ve met new families and seen quality players. Of those I’ve met, which certainly isn’t everyone, new players have come from other local clubs. A few are new to the area.

GA Director is amazing, passionate, and seems very sincere. I hope he can bring his vision to life.

We have our fields, trainings and events locked for the summer. Not yet sure about the fall as is typical of most clubs. We are pretty sure we know where we will be but it needs to be confirmed. We do not have our own “home” and I don’t know when/if we will. I’m okay with that for the time being but maybe not forever. For now it’s fine for us.

Club is going through a period of change. I am ok with that because I see a lot of great seeds being planted.

So this really did not age well. It was from just last month. I wonder how OP is feeling now?

The message you quoted was just BCs last attempt to post about himself and save face.

Not enough French in there to be BC.....probably fan boy Adam.

BC now tech advisor and college placement?

Sounds like a 1099 paid remote worker. He's hourly for technical advice and likely gets paid per placement or something like that. They'll likely use him very little. It's a nice PR tactic and perhaps BC gets paid for placing some kids.

Bastien learned more about the #$%!-show that is now at FCV, and he bailed. He's not listed on the coaches page anymore:

Putting him in as an "advisor" is purely a marketing ploy in a sad attempt for Adam to save face. Every single new coach Adam originally brought in this Spring for the GA program is gone. ALL of them. What's left now is recycled, local coaches, some of which were losing their old jobs from all the other soccer craziness (mergers) in the area. Really sad to see what TSJ and Adam have done to this club.

We've already asked for the fee back and are moving to a different club - along with many others in our group chat.

What age group? Was Bastien going to be your coach?

That’s a lot of directors. There is a director of everything

AB told the parents (in the Spring) that NO director would have more than 1 team. I believe his words were something like that if a director had more than 1 team, they wouldn't be able to give the teams enough attention....

Of the 14 Directors (counting BC), 6 have two teams.

We tried to warn their parents. This is not a surprising outcome.

There were so many warning by 2023 parents to incoming parents and we were told to "shut up", "you're disgruntled", "you're part of the problem"...i guess former parents weren't wrong nor part of the problem

Honest question- is it unusual for the Director of Goalkeeping to be coaching a team? I don’t know who CL is.

No, coaching 1-2 teams is normal.

This. We were the problem/shit stirrers supposedly. Wonder what the new spin will be.
