Which team? We did not have that experience on the GA team. Though I heard parents complain about a prior coach in the earlier years. I also think it is how each person processes what is being said. In our experience the most abusive coach was on another ECNL team that consistently went to playoffs. He would call girls fat, stupid and lazy, you name it and it rolled off of most because we won, and he was a great coach technically and if you are starting it's not the worst condition to be in. But eventually we moved on for other reasons. |

| Curious on which team as well. Most people on this board likely don't see many of the GA teams from FCV, but are likely to see their United teams which aren't really tied into their GA program. |

I've seen a mix of really good, okay, and bad FCV coaches for the boys and girls. I'm trying to find this out myself, who is good and is bad and abusive. My children have played against a couple girls and boys coaches who are really good! |

Every club is a mix or good, bad, and meh coaches. The real way to find out is to ID/try out, and watch how the coach interacts with the team and kids. Also, certain kids prefer certain types of coaches. My DD likes strict coaching versus the "let's have fun" approach. Moral of the story, ID with the various clubs and see if your kid is a match with whichever coaches. Anyone telling you one club has better coaches than another has been slighted or is just fanboying. |

Who was that FCV coach? I’ve seen a lot of supportive coaches for the boys and girls sides so I’m generally curious. Also, what was that coach exactly saying? |
