[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Safe sport complaints weren't from this last weekend.  They were from several weeks ago.  Probably just a LS parent trying to stir the pot.  Gus is a class act and I don't know why any complaints would be filed against him.  He is respected by many![/quote]

Ummm, sure. The person you are touting as a "class act" is notorious for picking favorites and playing the people who pay him a lot of $$$$ to privately train them  :lol: This is a well known fact. 
Respected by many? Why don't you ask some of the former GFR families who left last season about that claim. Or anyone who was coached by him at Bethesda or FCV. [/quote]

All coaches have their favorites.  That's just human nature.  However, in this case, I would agree with you that there is definitely a correlation between being a "favorite" and paying for extra training on the side.  What makes that particularly obvious is that some of those players aren't nearly as good as their playing time would suggest.  But no club is going to question the coach about something like this.  Your choice is to deal with it or move on (as some players chose to do).[/quote]

As a former parent of the coach mentioned the writing was on the wall for us since my kid was good, but there were a few better players on the team. He made promises of getting her to top teams and leagues and schools when we paid for private training sessions. When she got in high school and the course load was too much to get to those private trainings the playing time dropped significantly and we left after the season was done. She was never treated the same after we had to stop paying him on the side.[/quote]

Did your DD go to other travel team or just decide to stop entirely? I am not seeing how to manage travel and HS AP load. [/quote]
