[quote=Anonymous]Years ago back in u11 (DS' first quasi-travel season) I was assistant coach along with another more experienced dad who had played back in the day. He was verbally abusive to the boys and a bully. Demeaning comments towards some of the players and expected the world out of his son, my son and the other assistant coach's son. Our three boys were best friends. The other assistant coach got fed up with the behavior and left mid season, leaving no subs. IF we pulled out then the team would have to play down a man the rest of the year... We stayed to support the rest of the kids so they would have a team and not fold. It was the absolute worst thing I have done to one of my kids and I regret every moment of doing that. We should have left early in the fall when the abuse became evident. When we went to u12 the following year and DS joined a real travel club with paid coaches they mentioned to me "did he get yelled at a lot by an old coach?" :cry: [/quote]
