[quote=Anonymous]Glad to hear others think it's not normal either.

As for quitting, one kid has already quit this year. And my kid and friends are wondering what happened there. Apparently the coach also threatens people that they are going to get kicked off the team, etc.

For example, on the running in the park day, he told my kid and a friend that after that practice was over they need to turn in their jerseys and quit. He also seems to have beef with kids who play club off-season and are always saying that if they'd rather be playing club they need to quit now, etc. It's all so ridiculous.  But, yeah, of course, my kid would rather be at club than with this guy because club coaches are all normal people, give constructive feedback rather than constant criticism and punishment with no follow-up advice.

My kid is just glad he has only has one week left with this guy and will stick it out. And his friend (the one who was recipient of the dog comment) told us today he will do the same. The varsity coach, whom they will play under this summer and next year, is just a great guy - pretty laid back, def will do the tough love thing if he thinks team isn't putting in all effort, etc., but he has never talked to the team or individual players like this.

I just feel bad about the kids who will be stuck with this guy next year and years after - and I'm sorry to hear some of you have kids who are experiencing the same or worse and admin didn't back you up.  It really should not be this way.[/quote]
