Coach using cannabis

Anonymous wrote:Does US youth soccer allow a travel coach to smoke cannabis before working with youth? The coach does not do it in front of the youth, but smells like it so probably uses it before working with youth. If the state allows it does youth soccer allow it? Is this a safe sport violation? The coach uses it and smells like it so the coach must be under the influence when working with minors.

I assume that your son or daughter is on the team? the fact that you would ask if this is ok is sad.

Alcohol is legal too, doesn't mean i can show up to work drunk.

ALL the coaches do this where I live and it makes many a bit more pleasant though some need it to be baseline tolerable. If you want a coach not on it, find the one juggling a lot more responsibilities off the field. I haven't run into many who reek of it and most know how to use eye drops.

I'm not a fan of pot and wouldn't want to expose my kids to it. I get that it's legal in many areas now, but my position hasn't changed. I don't want my kids around smokers or intoxicated people either. If you do it on your own personal time I have no issues with you, but if you are paid to work with children I would expect a little restraint.

"A little"? they need to be professionals and keep it to their own time and never while at work. If I was a TD and someone reported a coach smelling of alcohol or weed, I would investigate it and remove them if true. That should be a non-negotiable.

How do you address this without being the whistle blower? I don't want my child to lose playing time or for me to be attacked.

Not sure youth soccer allows you to work with minors within 24 hours of using drugs. What will happen if you get reported.

Really? Which teams?

As someone who is a huge fan of THC and loves that it's legal now, I would be very upset if my child's coach showed up high. WTH? Not the time or the place.
