| I have a 13 year old daughter who plays in a NVA travel league. Every time we play a BRYC travel team, the adult male coaches taunt our 13 year old girl player. Anyone else experience something similar? |
What club are you in? |
| Is taunting telling their players to go to goal by taking your DD on 1v1? Or is he calling them a name? |
| Travel or ECNL? |
| OP you gotta be more specific and answer the PP’s question—that is a serious allegation. I don’t believe a coach would just taunt your DD in a way that has nothing to do with the game. Maybe your DD is deficient in some aspect of the game the coach thinks they can exploit. For example if a goalkeeper shows weak hands or poor positioning a coach is likely to shout instructions at their team to exploit that “Keep shooting, the GK has weak hands!” Or your DD has shown previously to easily get riled with a little contact or whatever and any team may try to exploit that. |
| Such BS. 13 is not academy but ecnl. These ecnl coaches and players all know each other given how often they play each other. You’re probably talking about a bridge team coach in NCSL which is parent coached. Then yea, maybe your daughter is a weak link that can be exploited. Just guessing or you’re just a troll |
| well if it is the u12 team playing u13 in NCSL then it is Bernie. Not surprised if he is making inappropriate comments. |

When my son ( I think U11 or 12 at the time) was playing Futsal, the opposing Coach kept singling him out, didn't do it to any other player. It's a team we had never played.
He kept bellowing, he can't use his left foot, shut down him down. This was quite comical because the reason they played my son on the left side was he was the only player that could use both feet very well. My husband coached his team young and used to have them wear two different color socks to practice in Kindergarten and develop each kid's non-dominant foot. When my kid blasted one in the goal left-footed I couldn't help yelling at the top of my lungs "beautiful LEFT foot, X'. Coach was quiet rest of the game about his left foot. |
And I mean---reallly? What a-hole taunts a little kid, one not even on his own team (not that it's ok either), was in 5th grade at the time. And Futsal is close quarters so you can hear everything very clearly and loud in the those gyms. |
| Coaching your team to exploit a perceived weakness doesn’t qualify to me as taunting. OP still hasn’t provided any specifics. OP also implies this happened more than once (ie different coaches) which to me suggests exploiting a perceived weakness and perhaps coaches share intel with each other before matches. |
| Ha this post is funny, most coaches (good and experienced) can detect a player with a bad first touch, a slow player or a player with lack of technique. |
| OP here. It's not only BRYC coaches but in majority of the games, these male coaches taunt her. I understand that she's not a prototypical soccer physical but these are little girls. |
How exactly are they taunting? You haven't supplied any specifics despite multiple PP's requesting some. Otherwise, go back beneath your bridge, troll. |
