[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately my kid got screwed by the under the table cash.

U12-U13 is a critical year for players. This is when coaches recommend players to US Soccer recruiters for National ID Camps

Unfortunately our club hired a new DOC at that exact age for my kid. He looked at the current players and had his hand out for $$$. I refused to pay + because of this my kid never got an invite. What's even more annoying is the DOC tries his best to prop of the players that he chose for ID Camps. They aren't delivering so he has to bring up the bench to win games. It's disgusting to watch but at this point it doesn't matter. My kid just tries harder and harder + makes him look bad because if he wants to win he has to play her.

We could have gone to a different club but I didn't feel like driving an hour to and from practices. I could have paid the $$$ but I chose not to and am done with it. I wonder how many of the parents that did pay are still handing over $$$ for minutes.[/quote]

Did the same thing.  Kid got screwed all season because I didn't pay the coach for privates, even though my kid is a solid mid to top of pack player. [/quote]
What's frustrating is the DOC has been doing this for a while + knows how to cover his tracks. If he didn't put his favorites in most of the game when it doesnt matter and entirely different players when it does I might have believed the perception he was trying to convey.

It's just sad and pathetic when you see things like this going on right in front of your eyes.

In the end I know it's making my kid work 2x as hard which will translate into playing in college. Of which super DOC will try to take ownership of saying that he developed her when in reality all he did was throw up roadblocks the entire time.

It would have been 10x easier to just pay him off but I stood on principles and it screwed my kids chance at a national team invite. Sigh.. [/quote]
