[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just looked up his teams.  His girls team went 7-2-1 in the fall, they are 2nd in the league.  For all the shade being thrown on the board, he seems to have done a pretty good job.  If players left, maybe they weren't good enough to be there.[/quote]Yeah they had a good league season, tourneys not so much. Their strength of schedule was mediocre in the fall, so hopefully they can continue the success in the spring. The kids declined offers with his team but nice try trying to throw shade at 10/11 year olds. [/quote]

You’re the one who keeps bringing up how these kids “made the team but declined offers” ok buddy give it a rest. You felt slighted by a coach, happens to a lot of families at different clubs every single season.  You said your peace about not liking a coach. Just focus on your DD and her new team and not focusing on this valor thread. [/quote]

DP. I think this brings up a larger issue of which is more important — a winning record or having your child around a coach who is at least somewhat of a decent role model. Do you put or keep your kid on a team if you know the coach is saying things that can be damaging to kids, and/or talking about kids to other adults? If it’s not being directed at your kid do you overlook it or do you get them out of that environment? I think parents put up with too much crap from sports coaches when part of the reason they are doing sports is the life lessons. I guess if you’re convinced your kid will get a scholarship you just deal with whatever the coaches are dishing out and maybe feel like there is no choice. But isn’t it our job as parents to at least try to put our kids in a positive environment? I don’t think being a good coach and a good person have to be mutually exclusive, but so many seem to accept mean and outright abusive coaches just to be on certain teams. [/quote]Totally agree. I think we should surface issues around a coach so others can be informed. It is important to make the distinction between a kid left because they didnt make a team vs they chose to leave and the implied theme/ common denominator is the coach. Also, isnt he the age group director or something. So if there are concerns with him then that implies a pervasive concern around most of the coaches within the age group of his influence and TD decision to put him in that position. [/quote]
