[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I acknowledge this really sucks for the kids who have lost their spots and have to move on. However, my daughter has been iced out by her coach and the current players because she is leaving. The coach has rescheduled practices to other times and has a secret chat group that we are not a part of. The kids who have been nasty to my DD for the last two years have ramped up the bullying and are really ripping into her. It seems especially triggering that she is leaving for a top ranked ECNL team. She is excited to practice with the new team And has her eyes on the future anyway.[/quote]

This sucks!  I will probably give away my anonymity with this statement but this is how I handled it.  The coach knows and I gave the courtesy of a personal phone call as soon as we were made an offer to return.

The parents have not been notified although we know some know and some kids know as kids talk and they were confronted about attending tryouts.

Our coach has handled it well.  I don’t think the parents will as we are making a major jump.

You can report it to Safesport.  Alternatively, I am using it as a life lesson.  Life is not fair. People are going to be in their feelings.  My child knows they are not doing anything fundamentally wrong.  Despite being young, they understand how irrational the parents and kids are and it is actually a great lesson in perseverance.

The one thing I did tell my child is not to state where we are going unless asked.  I told them to make people pry.

We are going to a 1st team of a MLS Next/ECNL club and folks are going to have their emotions which is natural human tendency.[/quote]

Why would anyone be anything but happy for a player that’s moving to a higher level?

We are MLSnext and we are happy with whatever players decide to do whether they move on to higher level, somewhere closer, or where they would get more playing time.
