[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean has the same issues on the u9-u12 girls side.  Their most abrasive coach was elevated to Age Group Director.  Instead of firing him--they promoted him.  He barely showed up at his girls' games and they usually had a substitute coach (who barely knew the girls).  I've seen parents of opposing teams laugh out loud at some of his antics.  For the older girls--they've lost 2 ECNL coaches over the past 6 months (Cyndi and Spencer). McLean continues to go downhill.  Lots of coaching turnover year over year...[/quote]

We know several parents who are either not happy, or looking at other clubs, because of the Girls TD's influence.  My DD is trying out for U9 in Spring and I am not happy about it.  The story goes that the prior TD left for US Soccer and this was the best choice for a replacement???

I do agree on the coaching turnover and it always being high for some reason.  Our older child left and plays at a different club, but there was definitely a lot of coaching hires and replacements then too.  It seems a lot of this would be fixed by stronger oversight.  On the other hand, I do know that many parents are hesitant to report to the BOD or DOC out of fear their kid gets penalized.  That would include us.  :(

There is a lot of good at the club that gets ignored by the shadow of all this recurring stuff in McLean.  Some real good coaches and kids.[/quote]

The U9-U12 Boys AGD is a great coach. He saved a lot of kids and parents from leaving the club by working to fix past mistakes.
