[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really really hard to get action from USAV, SafeSport or the region unless it’s egregious. You’re better to walk away and cut your losses unless it is truly egregious or illegal, or bide your time through the remainder of the season.

Unless said club has a reputation for what is happening, directors and coaches talk. Even the ones who didn’t really like each other. [/quote]

How do you hold folks accountable [b]for what they are doing[/b] if CHRVA and USAV won’t do anything?

How do you develop a reputation for doing something if no one reports it?

And why would club directors go out of their way to trash talk folks? Aren’t they busy enough?? It seems like a self perpetuating cycle of dysfunction. And then as parents we get mad for having to pay for it or [b]going into situations without knowing[/b].

Yes, you've captured my frustration with this thread. Why will nobody, whether OP or any of the follow-on posters, say [b]what violations we're even talking about?[/b]

On one side of the spectrum, there are real violations, which every club director I have heard of would take incredibly seriously because they would not want them to happen at their club and tarnish their reputation. 
I do not believe at all that there are any club directors who would not hear this out.
On the far end of the spectrum, there are parent complaints framed as a sort of violation, like "the coaches do not play everyone" (or, more specifically, their child enough) or "the coaches yelled at the players."
Speaking generally, you may not like those things, but neither of them constitutes a violation. If you are a parent and you complain about either of these, you will probably find your kid playing for a different club next year.
In the middle, there is a gray area. Say the kind of violation you think might be happening, and we can tell you whether it should be reported.

The day after your team's season ends, why not say here which clubs are permitting what kinds of lousy behavior? If you are witnessing lousy behavior, I assume you would not let your kid back into that environment again, so there is no longer a bridge to burn, right?

I disagree with the previous poster who says parents from opposing teams talk at tournaments. This does not really seem to happen in my experience. So speaking in vague terms in this thread really isn't making any point about any club, and we still have no clarity on whether real violations are even happening anywhere.[/quote]

Just because parents from opposing teams don't talk to you, it doesn't mean that they don't ever talk. After several seasons, I know parents in most of the local teams. I meet them either during clinics, leagues, or tryouts. Players from our former teams are currently in other teams that we often meet in tournaments. Guess what? We talk about how things are going and we hear things about other clubs. I cannot answer the question about violations because I am not the OP. I didn't hear anything that would raise to the level of a violation, but it doesn't mean that parents don't talk at tournaments. [/quote]
