2012B Coach MN: There’s been a lot of confusion and frustration with Coach MN, who transitioned from coaching the Loud White teams to taking over the NVA 2012B team. The 2012B team went winless in the fall, and Coach MN was let go before November after a number of families and parents requested a change. It's likely that some parents are still considering releasing their players due to the lack of progress and direction under his coaching.

2011G-2012G Coach DB: Feedback from parents of the 2011G and 2012G teams reveals concerns about Coach DB’s attendance and commitment. According to what parents have shared, Coach DB has canceled or missed more training sessions than he’s attended, including regular Monday and Wednesday sessions. He’s also missed multiple games this fall, including calling in sick for Sunday games after showing up for Saturday pre-season tournament games. Additionally, DB went to Miami for a Commanders football preseason game and missed games, scrimmages, and training sessions as a result. There was an instance where the 2012 girls had to run their own training session because DB hadn’t coordinated coverage or communicated his absence. Other NVA coaches have had to step in to cover for DB multiple times this fall.

Sideline Incident and Suspension: It seems that DB was involved in an altercation with another NVA assistant coach on the sideline, leading to a suspension. It’s unclear whether this suspension lasted one or two weeks, as the club hasn’t communicated this matter clearly to the parents. The incident was significant enough that SafeSport was contacted. However, the Club has yet to address the situation with the families involved.

Coaching Course and Missed Sessions: DB also missed every Monday team session because he was attending a coaching course, which he ultimately failed. Despite this, he missed valuable training time with the team. This raises further concerns about his dedication to his role and the development of the players.

NVA TD's Involvement: The NVA Technical Director (TD) has had to cover a lot of training sessions and games for the 2012 girls this season due to DB’s absences, sickness, and suspension. During one of the games where the TD was covering for DB, a player was fouled just outside the box, and the TD called for his own 2014 daughter to take the free kick. This situation raised a lot of eyebrows, especially since the 2012 girls’ team is one of the top teams in the area. It’s seen by many as a poor look, as any player on the team could have taken the kick, but instead, the TD prioritized his daughter. This behavior has fueled discussions about the perceived nepotism within the club, which seems to be happening openly without consideration for its impact on the team, the players, or the wider community.

This is alot of crying about a coach that has coached his team to the top of the table in the first half of the season. Some of what was said is a flat out lie, some was just misleading at best, and the rest was crap from what we can guess is a salty parent who's kid wasn't good enough to make the 2012 team and is now playing at a different club.
