Nothing wrong with voicing your negative opinions. Nothing wrong with voicing questioning or positive opinions as well. Some ppl are miserable and unhappy. Some are happy, some are genuinely concerned and want more than just rumors. I don’t think this is the place to get your answers. Will always be biased one way or the other.

So much Rule #5 going on in this thread.

5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

This is one of the guys here that paints everyone with a broad brush and an example of a current VRSC parent. He literally posts how every single coach is bad and every single player is just a leftover. Red Flag = everything is bad!

We have a team veo and can hear everything our coach tells the players.

At FCV, the GA program stopped playing/recording the (VEO) sound so that they (a coach or several coaches) couldn't be caught yelling. (It happened every game). It might be why at least one of the coaches who ended up at VRSC was terminated. Nobody really gave a full explanation but one day suddenly that coach moved to VRSC with out explanation and mid season. At least one parent believed it was a firing. It may have been the same parent that complained about the demeaning comments yelled by that coach on the field as the player frequently received this abuse. This same coach now at VRSC is now back at it, bringing female players to tears on the field the way he treats them. The parents of the player have tolerated it because they believe the coach will get their dd recruited. Just an opinion or hypothesis, but sounds familiar. Another hypothesis is that something similar happened with this person at GF based on what is being said here. Yelling and demeaning a player on the field is abuse by definition. RAT took a while (a few seasons) before it set in that her actions were intolerable and a force out would occur. Clubs that allow this type of activity are trash IMHO. Zero tolerance for violating the law.

Isn't VEO recording how the Loudoun 09 girls coach ended up getting fired, too? Verbal abuse caught on video? It's crazy how much this goes on and how much parents and clubs tolerate it.

The FCV Veo was done by BP. No videos had sound. VDA is the same. Do CC’s games have sound?

I think this board is a great place to get information about coaches and clubs. Take it with a grain of salt considering the anonymous sourcing, but if a coach has been posted about for years on here and its the same crap over and over again, well, that's good enough for our family to avoid him.

We're at another club but all of our VEOs have sound. Why on earth would any respectable coach not want sound?

It took Loudoun 3 years to figure that out despite the complaints. That team was split 50/50 on her antics.

Aren’t most VEO’s on the parents sideline…(that’s got to be worse than the coaches)!

Personally I like having it on the coaches side so I can hear the instructions the coach is giving my child so I know what she is supposed to be working on/improving/doing well.

[Anonymous]

Lots of clubs/coaches opt for no sound on their VEO recordings. Does kinda seem suspicious but my DD's coach opts for no sound and I have no reason to beleive it's to cover abusive language on the sideline - he's quiet as a mouse from what I can tell. Too quiet, IMO!

+1. It's the point that's being made I believe. Every parent is afraid of retaliation by the coach/club.
