So there is the crux of the disagreement. Some parents consider that language abusive and others consider it rude, but not abusive, and indicative of something the kid may experience out in the real world. Should coaches use that language? No. Is it abusive? That’s a matter of opinion and parents are free to make their choice about staying or leaving.

Correct. And for those of us who have chosen to leave and not subject our kids to that type of an environment over something as trivial as soccer, there are apparently people who rather say "you were cut" or "denied an offer" instead of recognizing a choice has been made. But hey, if that's what they need to say to justify why they stay, have at it.

I don't assume everyone else was cut or not offered. There's a right fit for every child, plenty of places to choose from around here. But, the thought that FCV parents sit by and allow their kids to be abused all in the name of some wins and scholarships is just not accurate. That talk should stop. No parent in their right mind at any club is going to tolerate that.

Then perhaps FCV parents should lay off the attacks of other clubs then if they can't take any criticism themselves.

uhmmmm okay. I'm not whoever those parents are, so I don't criticize anyone for their club choice. Wouldn't waste my time attacking anyone for that. Just trying to shed dispell this myth that FCV parents only care about winning and are somehow sacrificing their children's well-being for it. It's just not the case.

You must be new here then.

Naw, just clearing up this crazy notion. I'm sure you'll find a lunatic or two at every club, but most soccer parents are similar in that they choose the best environment for their player and spend no time bashing other parents for their own choice.

Huh? What the heck is that? Why do you feel sorry for me? What's with all that snark? I haven't been snarky at all. Why can't it just be a normal conversation without all that? Nevermind, my fault for trying to be reasonable on this board.

We have different definitions of crying. Lol. This was all about parents allowing kids to be abused. I’m just saying that’s not how it is but I guess you’d rather fight and not make sense so I’ll leave you to it.

The parents with kids who have left for those very reasons disagree with you.

It is true. However, you have to remember there are a lot of kids and a lot of reasons/ types of treatment that negative impacts the players. You are lucky. Your daughter has escaped the wrath of Bobby. Good for you as a parent for sucking up to him and ensuring a ticket to the National team. You will look back on this and realize you have done damage to your child. Enjoy your glory posts at top drawer soccer etc. thank goodness you save some college money for the therapy coming your kids way. BTW - kids who are abused typically grow up to be abusers.

you arent being reasonable. you are being ignorant - you cannot put every single abusive comment or activity into the same boat for the same kid.

[Anonymous]

Not PP. Not sure why folks get so snippy. Just trying to discuss how our family has been treated by FCV. We've had positive experiences and don't really care if players choose to go elsewhere.

If some of the things said on this forum are true, we have never seen them. I'd never let my kid get abused, verbally or physically.

You are too dumb to realize that just because you (one parent) says something it must be true for the whole club. Idiot.

Not PP. I feel bad for you and your child. You are obviously hurting and bitter about something. In the grand scheme of life, this quick second of youth sports will be over before you know. Enjoy where YOUR child is at and don't worry about the other clubs.

Your experience is not everyone's experience. So far you are either lucky or naive. Since, as a parent, you are not allowed near the practice field you only have the comments of your child to go by but you are certainly not within ear shot of the coaches, particularly Bobby. And if you think these forums are snippy you probably should get closer and listen to your kids coaches and you'll get a feel for what snippy really can be.

Good luck to you. My kid isn’t damaged, not going to the National Team, and who knows if she’ll even play at college. My experience and what I’ve seen is not a culture of abuse. I guess anyone who doesn’t agree with you must be wrong. Whatever. We won’t change each other’s minds. Enjoy the day. Try to relax.
