Oh haha, thanks for the 411. Knowing what I do about the coach, this sounds....on brand lol It's too bad, too, bc the club team is great for age groupers- kids switching teams is normal around here. I think he needs to get over it |
My understanding is that everyone from their “elite” group left and it no longer exists. Pretty embarrassing if you have to fold a group due to lack of talent. |
Actually the talent is there- they just all leave around 14/15…..most go to NCap then they get to take credit, which is a shame. |
All of them are in HS and you know HS kids do a lot of different things other than summer swim during holiday season. |
NCAP coaches discourage doing HS and summer swim. They don’t like their swimmers being a team, because they like having full control over the swimmers. |
I heard this as well. There was a thread last year where people warned about a similar thing happening with this coach and his club. Despite the good things I have heard about the club for younger swimmers, it would definitely give me pause if I was considering that club. You’re the adult, you just cannot act that way. |
Whose elite group? |
TOLL |
There was not a single swimmer or coach at the club that was mad about those swimmers departing. Speculate on other stuff all you want, but that is a fact. |
Not true. The coach threw a hissy fit and then quit his summer swim position at the last minute because he couldn’t handle that one of the departing swimmers was on his summer team. He is unfortunately known for acting this way when swimmers leave. |
*more than 1 departing swimmer was on his summer league team. |
You can speculate all you want. He did not leave that mcsl team because of those swimmers departing Toll |
This makes sense. Thank you! |
Then why did he, pray tell, especially since it seems like more than one person thinks its a totally viable reason |
100000%. Sorry to say, they are such A-holes about it. Can't let their swimmers have any fun. All for the glory of NCap and pocketbook of Ugast (we say that as NCap survivors) |
