[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid didn't start the scrimmage so I beat his ass with a water bottle. He had it coming anyways.  My boy is a striker and he had him playing left back that good for nothing coach.  You's kids is a bunch of losers.  I'm taking my boy to another club.  Eff all of ya's.[/quote]

I know this is intended to mock the Dad, but we really don’t know what led into this. If you read what so-called “Coach Vince” said to the Dad about his kid, it comes off as really dismissive. What was going on with the kid? Did some club favorite spike the kid, and Coach Vince blew it off?

Hold off on judgment until all the facts come out.[/quote]

GTFOH.... The only article available in this says that the coach said "are you ready to go back in?" There's nothing dismissive about that. AND EVEN IF THERE WAS it doesn't justify a response of physical assault.

If this is a PW team, there's nothing surprising here. We've played a couple of their teams (both rec and travel) and the parents were nasty....even to their own children on the field (some of the players were telling their parents to shut up...it was kind of sad actually). There seems to be no attempt by the club or the league to stop the behavior. It's a shame it came to this. [/quote]

It is a Prince William county team…[/quote]

When my kid played a PW team we went to group of fields that had each individual field surrounded by very tall chain link fences. Only players and coaches could enter the fenced in area, all spectators had to watch outside the fence. Was like being in jail. In all the years of my kid playing soccer and all the teams we have traveled to from NC to NY (including PA and NJ where parents are nuts) I have NEVER seen anything like it since.

I hope the coach recovers. BTW he was a volunteer subbing for a friend. He didn't know these kids nor this parent.[/quote]

I can’t even think of a facility like you’re describing in PWC.  And when I hear tall chain fences my immediate thought are some FFX fields like sully highlands.[/quote]

Howison has fences around at least two of the three fields there and parents stay outside the fences.  Fences are not tall though.[/quote]

That was my other thought but like you said, the fences aren’t tall there.

I do know there’s been clubs that come to howison and don’t like that they cannot sit on the actual pitch but there’s not much sideline room so it makes sense.[/quote]
