You must be a joy to be around.

I’m an NVA parent and loved watching RA insult 15 year old girls. This is necessary to win soccer games and make the club look good.

NVA parent as well. RA wasn't insulting anyone. Just because your little princess wasn't Mia like you thought, you run and cry wolf. Sad.

Absolutely she insulted kids. Never my own kid, but I’ve seen her say things like “you don’t deserve to be here” when she invited them. Multiple kids, multiple instances and in front of many people. It would take long to add to this example. Whether these comments are true or not, doesn’t matter and is abusive language. It violates federal law when done repeatedly and is demeaning or abusive. will never coach again in Loudoun.

The HORROR!!!! OMG....she told a player they didn't deserve to be there. Wow. She should be jailed for sure.

Cool until it’s not. Hardly motivating for a teenage girl. Do some reading. Very insulting for a adult to do this to a kid in front of a group of friends. https://uscenterforsafesport.org/about/our-story/

No one is saying abuse is right. Different people have different thresholds for their opinion on what is/isn't abuse. A "tough coach" to some, is "an abuser" to others. It's not black and white. If a coach isn't right for you, then go to a different coach - no reason to put your kid through that. Different kids respond/thrive to different coaching styles and approaches. Some kids need constant praise, some need a more balanced approach with praise and criticism. Expecting a coach to change to your little princess isn't always the answer (yet it seems the approach always taken in this area), and parents demand coaching changes when they don't believe it's a right fit for their kid.

Abuse is abuse, and while there are different types, the essence remains the same. It's crucial to recognize the line between a tough coach and an abuser. Open-minded adults can discern the difference, but children may not, which is why we need to help them understand when they're being mistreated. Just because some people experienced abuse as kids and view it as normal doesn't make it acceptable for everyone. RA was certainly an abuser, even if she managed to win games. We shouldn't normalize such behavior. Furthermore, RP is another notable abuser. He has admitted that he coaches the U13 age group to "trim the fat" and eliminate kids who can't tolerate his abusive methods.

Federal law says otherwise. Verbal abuse, insulting behavior is a violation. If you question this, take the training and you will change your mind.

My point was that many jump right to "abuse" when that's not (or may not be) what is going on. Not saying RA was or wasn't (I don't know), but I've seen parents upset because their little princess wasn't praised (or get minutes, or whatever) like their DD "should" be so they blame the coach. And tough coaches (like I hear RA is) are easy to blame.

Everyone gets a trophy. We should all bring orange slices. We shouldn't keep score either, as it hurts the losing team's feelings. Let's not have standings or wins and losses either. Everyone's a winner.

Justification of any abuse is wrong. If you take the safe sport training, I assure you will change your view. Federal law prohibits the behavior that this person engaged in. She’s fortunate there were no charges and is better off being separated from this environment. She is not the right person for the job.

What federal law would prohibit a coach being mean to a player in Virginia?

I have taken SafeSport many times. The types of abuse covered in SafeSport would be governed by state law, not federal, and there do not seem to be allegations that would rise to the level of those types of claims here, in any case. What am I missing?
