What does any of this have to do with whether the guy can start a region? I think as jam-packed with clubs as the south shore is, the Plymouth area has a lot kids. It's pretty not an overly hard job. I'm fond of some friendly competition!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCan't believe I'm going to do this, but here goes. Maybe I am a troll, but one who is just expressing a most certainly on-topic opinion on this anonymous message board, which is what its made for. I portrayed him accurately based on experience with him. Perhaps a bit harsh, but hardly slanderous or poisonous (I like that one). He's a very personable and nice guy, I just don't think a very good youth coach. Maybe a better fit for boys or different ages
The girls may have been first team within the club, but let's be honest, the best players from the town don't play for DFC. That's why I said they were C team or rec players. No delusions about my D ability, DFC was the right level and fit for her. The majority of better players in town on the girls side in this age range were at DU or PTUSA/Coastal or SSS.
PK practice was definitely not optional. He's a pleasant enough guy, but never saw evidence of being receptive to parental feedback. Vast majority of the girls on the team last year were also DFC lifers and not from other clubs, 1 or 2 at the most.
Every youth head coach I know keeps all of the passcards with them, including asst coaches, so they always have them. No excuse for a qualified and registered coach to show up to a game without one. And it happened more than once.
On the pass card issue in my experience the team managers are the ones responsible for bring pass cards and rosters to the games. Maybe in town soccer the coaches bring them but not club.

FC Boston is on the decline, but they are still way above Liverpool. With the exception of a few coaches, Liverpool is a glorified town program. FC Boston was hit hard with the Breakers and NEFC merger. To be successful, FC Boston needs to find fields in the Plymouth area. Liverpool was smart when they moved to Bridgewater and over took over the area. Coastal has benefited with the buy out from UK Elite. Its the only affiliation that is more than just a uniform. Unless your child is on a top team playing in the top league you are just wasting your money.

Haha the guy who said "good job FM" sounded incredibly sarcastic... in my head at least. I say good on the guy, we're all just trying to do what we think is best in the sport we love.
