[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U11 is a tough year. We left a nightmare coach who favored another coach’s son for every game and played him in 2-3 games per weekend, pitted kids against each other, said coach’s son took every corner kick free kick and penalty, had zero relationship with any of the boys who played for him, and exercised zero care or caution for the kids who played for him except one: the other coach’s son. It could have destroyed my kid!!! But we cut our losses and signed him up for another year-round sport that he was interested in, and after a couple of months, sure enough he has signed again for another Soccer Team – a dramatically better club with an incredible coach. Listen to that inner voice that tells you something is wrong and if you need to make a change, do it!!! We have never looked back!! [/quote]

Club environments can be toxic. We have seen a little bit of this on the girls side.  Our coach has a few star players and they focus all their development on them.  They guest player them constantly with other teams for their development. Then when they come back to our team, they play most of the game and let them dribble as much as possible for their development. -Most of the other kids get subbed out/ rotated and are treated differently.  The kids don't care for it. This is at U12..... so yeah, Coaches can be jerks.  The only way to fight it, is to keep practicing (outside of the club) and potentially leave for next season.  [/quote]
