You were misinformed probably by the same parents complaining on this forum. Especially about Disney. Funny to hear all this, very entertaining. I find it ironic that you constantly go back to the belief that the parents of the actual players he does and does not coach are misinformed. You are not on the team of "crazy parents" or have a player on that team, yet they are misinformed and you are in the know. I'm guessing he does such a great job with your daughter and your team, that you come one and a half hours early to watch him train and coach the 2007s. Do you also attend their meetings and huddles? I reached out to parents across all 3 teams and the ones that are honest paint a similar picture to what everyone else but you has stated. Yes, even the ones that he likes, the ones that start and play most/all of the game and the ones that get privates with him. So that leads me to conclude your daughter is super special(wonder why she's not starting) or you may be the actual coach in question, trying to disguise himself on here to rebut what EVERYONE is saying based on their collective and personal experiences. But to paraphrase you, "they are all collectively MIS-informed, right..." 🤔🤔🤔

It's been a long time since a coach has been the topic of a HOT TOPIC on the forum!
Is there a badge or award for that? LOL
Coaches are actual human people Parents are actual human people DOC's are actual human people Even Referee are human people And KIDS are tiny little human people (in this case sounds like PRE-TEEN GIRLS as young as 10)
It sounds like everyone has a piece of the story. Kind of like the blind men and the elephant story.
A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it they groped about it. In the case of the first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another person, whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk. The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall". Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear.
The moral of the parable is that humans have a tendency to claim absolute truth based on their limited, subjective experience as they ignore other people's limited, subjective experiences which may be also equally true.

You had me until this one... Even Referee are human people Yeah, my observation is not hearsay, and FG is not wrong. This coach didn't impact my kid too much in one way or another and I don't have any hard feelings, I just wish he'd taught/corrected her more at practice. I do think its interesting who likely lurks on this forum.

I find it highly unlikely that a coach would hold back 'good' practices with his teams and instead bring it out at the small group sessions. How many different teams have you been at in the past 3/4 years may I ask? 4/5? There has to be a point in time when you ask yourself if the problem might actually be you? I've no issue with a coach offering privates, this is a full time job for some of them. Am I going to tell the guy at the car dealership to stop offering me all the s*** options at the end of the sale? Some of you seem to forget that these coaches have families to provide for also, is it wrong that he bills it as for 'elite' players- yes maybe so. Is it wrong that he gives people that might not be able to afford training free sessions- no, I wouldn't say so. Are some of you idiots for paying $50-75 an hour for some coaches to line your kids up and do YouTube drills- absolutely!

FG: glad you think you know everything based on reaching out to parents lol. Honestly, yes he does a great job with my daughter and son and no I’m not caught up with her starting or not. I’m not that type of parent that thinks they know more. Just stating facts which is probably not normal on this forum. It’s funny that you act like you know everything in the soccer world and quick to say those opinions. Must stink having a life where all you look forward to is a forum and discussions on here based on your activity. I just think people need to realize that content is key when speaking on a subject that’s all. Unfortunately those complainers on any subject are on this forum. Parents that care less of the drama don’t care. Go figure. Glad you felt the need to address that I’m sure your life is better now

Are some of you idiots for paying $50-75 an hour for some coaches to line your kids up and do YouTube drills- absolutely! Yep, true that. I do have to be satisfied with the training and coaching my kid is getting, ABSO-FRAKKING-LUTELY. I would hope that every parent wouldn't settle until they see the kind of training and coaching they feel their kid deserves. You make it sound like parents should "bend over and take what your given".
In academy we had been at 3 small clubs in 3 years, now at 4th (bigger club). I would never let my kid quit on a team during the season, so no, we've never left mid-year. The teams for the previous clubs are playing in 06 select are Athena D, Athena C, and Athena C. I don't personally care about wins/losses much, only development. She's currently playing ECNL and finally getting the coaching she's needed (we are very happy with the 2 coaches we've had this year, she was promoted mid-year which I didn't really care about but still playing games with the lower team). No plans to move. Its amazing though, when you get high-level coaching and you see the players getting fair treatment, you're happy to stay. I had a plan for my kid's development that actually accelerated when we moved to the current club.
Regarding the coach in question...you could SEE the training offered in privates (he would post videos), it was very different from what was provided to this (academy) team, but there was no reason the same "elite" training could not be offered at practice...especially when they quite often would spend 60-90 minutes of rondo.
Its also amazing that this thread has brought out a couple first time posters?

4 clubs in 4 years......I'm sure you know best- why don't you start coaching yourself? I'm sure you'd be brilliant. You want practices to be the same when it's 2 on 1 in comparison to 16 on 1? Strange
Let's magically get 7 extra goals out at every field. Maybe each team can have 6 assistant coaches.

FG and atlfutbodad...I think you are correct with the assumption liverpool99 and a BRAND spanking new user thanosiii..hmmm... are "both" angry at your statements and lashing out for a very personal reason. Ignore it, we all see through it. I hate when folks get ugly on here. FG does her due diligence. May not always be correct but we aren't on here for "always correct" we are checking it out for what people are saying. It's up to us to figure out fact from fiction. I wouldn't know this coach if I walked by him but I heard things directly from people whom I have known for years and I believe their statements. It's hard not to believe them when you see the coach wasn't on the sideline for the consolation match and they said they had no idea...why would they make up that they didn't know he was ghosting them? I am with atlfutboldad, when you don't feel that the current club/coach is meeting your expectations you are free to move on. I think a team that stays together will play better but that is only my opinion and if you can't escape a bad coach because he/she is sticking with the team then you should absolutely leave.

Nah, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I do run the occasional free training for whichever local kids want it and coordinate my kid's local small-town indoor teams. However, 16 players can run through poles and cones and shoot on a single goal just as well as 1-2, coaches do it all the time (her current coach does it on technical days). Its almost like they run camps or something for this sort of thing.
Regarding my kid's situation...
Club 1: U9 - My U9 player played up with U12 girls her first year (no U9/U10/U11 girls teams at the club). The following year there was no U11 or U12 girls team offered her 2nd year and she would have played keeper/defender only for the boys team (she did play a tournament with U10 boys).
Club 2: U11 - Coach of the discussion...after coach left club there was a mass exodus, half the team left the club and the club had to move up the U11's to join the U12's and that combined team went through 3 coaches (I made the right decision). I decided to move her to a smaller local club for her final year of academy to focus on technical training she missed out on with a year of this coach.
Club 3: U12 - Decent year, tough coach, its a club where every girl who tries out is on the team. Parents are ambivalent to training and improvement. So the following year she could stay and play Athena C and be a star player (big fish/small pond) or tryout and move and play Athena A/B with players more at her level (small fish/big pond), wasn't a very tough decision.
Club 4: U13 - Started the year at Athena A and moved to ECNL in the winter. Still plays games with Athena A team.
We're happy where we're at. Fault my logic.

You were misinformed probably by the same parents complaining on this forum. Especially about Disney. Funny to hear all this, very entertaining. I find it ironic that you constantly go back to the belief that the parents of the actual players he does and does not coach are misinformed. You are not on the team of "crazy parents" or have a player on that team, yet they are misinformed and you are in the know. I'm guessing he does such a great job with your daughter and your team, that you come one and a half hours early to watch him train and coach the 2007s. Do you also attend their meetings and huddles? I reached out to parents across all 3 teams and the ones that are honest paint a similar picture to what everyone else but you has stated. Yes, even the ones that he likes, the ones that start and play most/all of the game and the ones that get privates with him. So that leads me to conclude your daughter is super special(wonder why she's not starting) or you may be the actual coach in question, trying to disguise himself on here to rebut what EVERYONE is saying based on their collective and personal experiences. But to paraphrase you, "they are all collectively MIS-informed, right..." 🤔🤔🤔 FG, I’m glad you are looking into it as they say where there’s smoke there’s fire. Well this situation is more than a little flame

While I normally worry when people club-hop, there are some good reasons for it. Sometimes it starts out with not knowing any better at the first club. Then you can make an uninformed ot misinformed decision. Then you search for better options. I am glad you found a place that works for you. There is no fault in the logic that you used that I can see.

Actually I prefer people like FG who state the opinions AFTER they have made an attempt to obtain information from people involved and generally do not attack people personally. I find liverpool99 to be insulting. He insulted many people who have actually had this coach and said they weren't speaking "informed." For someone who states he doesn't like drama, heis definitely stirring up a lot. FG actually posts things that she RESEARCHED. She doesn't just listen to one poster complaining and then fan the flames. She is not a "know it all" she is an informed person. I don't know her personally, but I find her information and insight helpful. I don't always agree with everything that she says, but she is here to help and inform people. There are a lot of things that people like and don't like about coaches. People have differing opinions on them. There are some actual facts that have happened with this coach that are very concerning to prospective parents.

FG actually posts things that she RESEARCHED. What kind of “RESEARCH” is involved with kid soccer drama? Who calls people on all 3 teams? That sounds more like gossip or hearsay. I’d rather hear from people who actually are involved with the topic being discussed, not someone who talked to someone who might know something, but that’s just me. A great service would be to encourage more people to join and post on the forum so we can hear directly from them. I'd appreciate those kinds of connections.

A great service would be to encourage more people to join and post on the forum so we can hear directly from them. I'd appreciate those kinds of connections. Well...when you research a coach for your kid how do you go about it? Generally one of the first things you do is to ask people who actually have or recently had the coach. The more opinions you get the better chance of having good information and not just an outlier. I don't consider it drama when someone breaks Georgia Soccer rules at U10 academy. Or when he lies to players and parents for months. There were actually several people who had this coach in the past that posted information, that liverpool99 discounted as "misinformed." So you like him for sticking up to FG, but I dislike him for attributing all of the info given as "drama" and "misinformation" rather than actual experiences from parents that left a club because of his methods of coaching (or lack of coaching).

Maybe have your kid attend a practice and ask THEM if they enjoyed it? That seems likes a good place to start. I’m sorry to come out of ‘lurking’ but I can’t take somebody seriously that says he wants team practice to look like an individual session.
It sounds like your ideal practice is 50 cones line up the length of the field, dribble in and out, have a shot, go collect your ball, and walk back to the start. Anybody that has an in depth plan for their 10 year olds development must be on the extreme side. 4 clubs in 4 years says enough for me.

"Regarding the coach in question...you could SEE the training offered in privates (he would post videos), it was very different from what was provided to this (academy) team, but there was no reason the same "elite" training could not be offered at practice" That doesn't mean that all of the practice had to be like the private training, but it is possible to incorporate technical training into a team practice. It is not only possible, but also preferable for kids (particularly the young ones) to get technical training in team practice. I have watched many high level coaches with high level teams spend 30-45 minutes of training with the young kids on technical drills every team practice or every other team practice. I think that you inferred that the person who posted that initial remark wanted the entire practice to be that kind of a training session. That was not what was said. He did not say "he should do that same stuff with his team for the entire practice every time." He said "but there was no reason the same 'elite' training could not be offered at practice." There is nothing wrong with offering privates. There is nothing wrong with the actual skills that this coach teaches during his privates. He is actually very good in his private sessions. But it would be a good thing to do SOME of the same quality technical training with his teams for SOME portion of his team trainings. I hope he is actually doing that now. He definitely did not when he coached our child.

Now you’re giving coaching advice? Lol every coach has a different way of training. Most parents don’t know much about training, besides the visual. Most want their kid to dribble to cones and do repeated moves on a cone. Then they see happy their kid knows 100 skills and uses none of them in matches. Feel like my soccer iq just went into the negatives reading from some of these posters. atlfutboldad has most definitely never touched a soccer ball. Clearly got a fantastic YouTube collection! Don’t show me too much or I might be as knowledgeable as you one day. atlfutbol got a YouTubepro coaching license. Question him at your own risk!

Actually I played club through HS and helped train my kid into an ECNL player, but no matter.
Regarding the videos, thankfully parents have some resources available when their kid isn't getting the training they need in practice. I just pulled those up on a quick search. Nice attempts at deflection though.
BTW, Coerver camps are great, I recommend them to all parents I talk to, especially if your academy coach isn't teaching and reinforcing skills. Mine did a winter camp at Silverbacks Park that U11 year on freezing Saturday mornings, it provided her biggest development leap that year (including MG's CF North winter camp also, which didn't teach skills either). BTW there were 2 coaches to 50+ kids there. Sad thing was that year she played U11 at LSA, the gold team (which she didn't start out on) started off the year on par with CF Black and NTH Gold/NTH North Gold teams (1-2 goal differential type results). By the end of the year they were losing to those teams 6-0 and 7-0. Those teams were so much better technically by the end of the year. All the parents saw it and would talk about it. But then, parents don't know what they're seeing I guess. Whatever, I'm done with this. I never said this coach wasn't good at teaching skills, actually quite the opposite. Anyways, good luck to him in the future but IMO it would behoove him to train the whole teams.
