His coach is sort of a lunatic and yells and tells they kids how disappointed he is in them all the time (all of them as a group). My son used to love going to practice and now he tries to get out of it (claiming that he is injured when he isn't, or that he has to study. when he has already studied enough). He still likes to play pickup soccer and do drills with my husband. How can I encourage/help him to get through this season? I am sure things will get better next year, but he needs to finish this year out with a better attitude.

To think of all the kids at the club this coach has it out for just your kids is a extreme. Unless your kid ha so much talent and the coach is angry that he isn't using it. Is it a personal vendetta with you as parents? Are you too talkative , disruptive, or coaching from sidelines? Is your kid on time and present at all trainings and pre game times?
No, and to be honest, I don't feel that the coach has a problem with me or my kid personally (since he plays him a ton). It is more an issue of his demeanor towards the team as a group. Constantly screaming, tons of cursing at the kids.
May I ask what the age and cultural background of the coach is?
This could shed some light on things.
He's American, in his mid 30s.

It's only been called Myanmar for 30ish years. So you're either a privileged kid or you grew up in Burma. My guess is you are privileged and didn't grow up there at all whatever it was called at the time.
My guess is you’re a douche bag. Luv you.
Why do you luv a douche bag? That must be a privileged type of fetish.
