How long until the richest club buys off the website because their feelings get hurt with reviews? Is there anything they can’t buy? that’s exactly the respect players and parents have for those drunk clowns
It’s not their fault your kid sucks.
Funny, you seem to lack a rebuttal to a factual observation. I’m a VRSC parent and also rich, so I’m happy seeing peasants cry about our rise.
What is a VRSC?
Never mind, I just looked it up. It’s an off-brand NVA.

Does anyone give hard working folks the benefit of the doubt anymore? I think you have a very useful idea.
Not when they're threatening the livelihood of random volunteers with useless anonymous reviews. How is this is a useful idea? Sure in theory it would be great, but clearly it's not currently available because it's not an easy problem to solve. They're taking the lazy way out "yelp of ....." Do you really think in 2025 other people haven't thought about this? It doesn't exist because it can't exist with accurate info.
this person is trying to do something that is "not an easy problem to solve" by "taking the lazy way out"?
it can't exist? (and yet it exists.)
Ok, it exists as a fully flawed concept. OP has confirmed gets bad info and still puts it up. Full names of volunteers- some who have not been coaches for years, others they aren’t coaches. So ok, a really really bad inaccurate and you helpful and potentially harmful to volunteers site is up and should be taken down.

I wonder if we're thinking it is the same person hahaha

So confirmed, bad info in will be bad info out. What a horrible business model you have if you are relying on people to tell you what you post is wrong. Pick another hobby please. You are running with scissors and won’t be you hurt but all the volunteers you are wrongly listing.

It looks like you tried to build your club pages by scrubbing the club websites for info but you have wrong info/people/titles. Bad info in is bad info out. Stay with DCUM.
Agree. For instance, DC Way Academy in DC has admins listed as coaches, lists a bunch of digital marketing/behind the scenes types for no obvious reason and lists zero of the coaches that my kids have or have had.

OP won’t be able to confirm who is paid or not. Websites often not updated and don’t list “paid” next to names, for non-profits, tax filings don’t list everyone and even if did, would be out of date by time OP would have access and private for profits have no obligation to share their financials. OP may already regret having posted to DCUM that is overrun with lawyers and lots with newly found free time. Best advice, shut it down now and find something else to do with free time- maybe go volunteer as a ref or coach!
