[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you all should be worried about is the fact that, like every other HoCo team, this one will fall apart in the next few years and your teams are going to wind up picking up the best of their barking players.[/quote]

The team almost folded already after a large group left because of the culture. The team only has two subs. It wouldn’t be surprising if a few more deserted, not wanting to be associated with the group. [/quote]

This team is very interesting. From what I’ve heard, they lost nearly half their roster because parents were unhappy with the toxic culture surrounding 8 year old girls. Honestly, I do not blame them. At that age, kids should be built up, not treated like they are not worthy enough to step on the field unless they are one of the favorites. Confidence and mental health matter more than wins, trophies, or matching shirts.

The boys Hoco director even pulled his own daughter from the team last year to play for Heroes because of the culture. That says a lot when leadership within the organization does not want their own child there.

The environment seems almost cult like with the matching gear, gifts, and end game chants. Multiple parents also heard the head coach encourage fouling until refs called it, which is wild for youth sports. From what I’ve seen and heard, that mentality carries into the high school level too, where only a few girls are allowed to be the main scorers while everyone else is expected to feed them the ball. There were also allegations of an illegal draw stick being used during the regional championship game last night.

At the end of the day, youth sports should be about development, teamwork, and confidence, not toxicity and win at all costs behavior.
