[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent who declined a Pre ECNL offer. I was made aware of one too many incidents about the coach and wasn’t willing to gamble almost $3000 and have a bad experience.  I was told the last ECNL 2 or RL team he had the parents all refused to return if he was going to be the coach. I also heard he was a jerk to the players and turned the girls against each other. Just nothing something I was willing to risk.  We will likely accept an offer with Potomac or MSI. Smaller clubs but hopefully less internal drama.[/quote]

define a Pre ECNL offer, because last I was told (which was yesterday) NONE of the 1st group declined.[/quote]

The Pre ECNL team (coach AS) - third team.

You are correct, as far as I know no one declined a e1 offer. However, a current e1 player didn’t bother trying out because of Bethesda dynamics they encountered. At least one, maybe two declined e2 offers and 6/7 declined Pre ECNL offers. Seems like the real rub is with the coach of Pre ENCL.[/quote]

I don't think that is the case with the Pre E. Kids who make 3rd team just don't want to play on a "third" team, when the can go play 2nd or 1st at another club. That's mainly why they decline.[/quote]

At least 3, maybe 4 of the girls are currently on the Pre E team without issue. At least two of those families are definitely not team status clout chasers. They just want their girls on teams where they can develop, play, have fun, and enjoy soccer. What they don’t want is a toxic environment. Given the rumors about the coach for the pre e team there were real concerns. Parents had many discussions amongst themselves about it. Many made plans in advance and had their girls attend practices with other clubs and attend other club tryouts, well before BSC tryouts, in anticipation of the inevitable.  Some of those families had no reason to believe their daughter might even get an offer for a higher team, and even then there were still concerns about the coach for the e1 and e2 team. Those in the know of specific incidents weren’t willing to risk their girls mental and emotional well being, regardless of his reputation of winning at all costs. What’s happening at BSC with this group has very little to do with parents wanting a top team, and everything to do with coach reputation and past behavior.

The sad part is nothing is going to change. This scramble to find players isn’t going to change the way BSC does business. Their model is built on winning at all cost, so parents just need to “BUYER BEWARE” when accepting a $3000 contract for their kid to play for BSC. [/quote]
