Getting pushed in the back is a foul

50/50 in soccer is 1v1
Needs technical skills more than WWF brute force

Showing your age. 🤣

Only a few will get it.

Currently on a team with a coach that plays favorites to the extreme. If he brought your kid to the team expect starts, talent ids, special treatment, literally coaching, etc. If you were a player from the team before he was coaching expect to be benched, no playing time, no coaching, no id event invites. etc. I've never seen someone as ridiculously biased.

One of the players he hates on scores all the time and was the Senior HS league top scorer as a sophomore. Another that he hates on is a freshman playing on the Junior HS soccer team and won the MVP award. Neither of them have gone to a talent id because they were preexisting on the team and not someone he recruited.

It just blows my mind how much this coach plays favorites. I heard a college coach called asking about a non favorite player and apparently he gushed that he had trained them since they were 5 (came to the team last season) and spent most of the call talking about himself. It was so ridiculous that the college coach reached out to the players parents and relayed the conversation to confirm if what he said was true. (it wasnt)

Maybe this sounds like sour grapes. But multiple college coaches have asked players what they think about him and consider the guy weird.

We're looking for an out hopefully soon.

Oh and just to make the situation even more exciting favorites coach is also the DOC. Which means theres nobody you can go to about the behavior. Even worse coaches that report to him are starting to act the same way playing favorites to the extreme themselves.

I have a youngers playing as well and you can see that news is starting to trickle down with players trying out at other clubs in massive amounts. So things will correct themself unfortunately for my oldest it wont happen soon enough.

Senior HS league is the top team for each HS. The league part is top scorer in the entire league (all HS teams in the area)

Where Im at theres a Freshman Sophmore Junior and Senior team for each HS and they all have their own league.

Not worth relaying until super favorites coach is in the rear view. Was able to get my youngest out + they're playing 2 years up and loving it. We were a little nervous about this but the coach said it will work out and its been amazing. My oldest is past the time players typically switch clubs so its more difficult but we're working on it.

It's not a foul if it's not called and it's usually not.

Bingo. Anyone watch the MDU games? Insane fouls. That’s where physical stature is needed. You can be short, but not slight. You need muscle maturity. Anyone who thinks otherwise for HS age girls ECNL is delusional, or old.

Not that I fault you but this is the entire problem with the problem posed by this thread.

We’re all gaslit into thinking we can’t treat these places like any other Google review. Would any of us use a plumber who overcharges you to do less repairs? No you’d move on and tell your friends don’t call Bob Jones.

Once we're able to get some separation I'm sure something will show up on XYZ coaches rate my club/coach profile. Which I realize they can just pay to have the poor review removed. But it will get noticed and hopefully someone can use the info.

This is a frustrating reality that many just don't seem to get. A technical player needs good teammates to shine. A freak athlete shines regardless of team quality.

And high level teams push like crazy, even in the back, even with out-stretched arms. It's only a foul when the ref decides it's excessive or reckless. Small players need to learn when to fall down to actually get the call. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W-LU9tK60yw Sounds like many people would just say this offensive player needs better skills.

How exactly does a freak athlete shine in soccer to knowledgeable coaches and scouts without high level or exceptional soccer skills?

Excessive speed and physicality will put a decent soccer on a team with great soccer players.

Just saw it at tryouts. Top team just put a player with no left foot on the squad.
