    Be very careful about potential liable and defamation actions. Keep in mind with subpoenas, all your IP and data information is accessible. Even if you had evidence of any crimes, you could open yourself up to some risk.

I see all the stupid threads started around GPS and know there are a bunch of worried and obsessed folks that seem to be really threatened by their existence. Makes me think GPS must be doing something right and cutting into bigger pieces of the soccer pie.
      Yeah, whatever you say. GPS is doing a great job. You must be a GPS coach or manager worried about your job.

          GPS is a marketing machine, starting multiple threads so people start to talk about them.

            That is about all they are, as they certainly aren't a player development machine FFS.

                Dude, you are so late to the party it is painful. GPS went to the dogs years ago. How can you possibly just figure this out now? So lame.

                  FYI, talked to my Sons coach before practice last night, he said he has been instructed to not talk about the raid. However by the look on his face when i asked him, i would say it is true.

                  I will not say who my sons coach is or what branch he plays in for fears of expulsion.

                      I live in the same town as one of the GPS higher ups. I don't know him well and haven't spent too much time with him, but I listened to a few of his good friends talking about the raid and they had some detailed information of what happened. They said it was really frightening for the coaches and there are very real ongoing concerns about the long term future of the club.

                        1) Parent of another team, who thinks the GPS kid will take your kid's place?
                        2) Parent of another team, who thinks my kid can't take your kid's place?
                        3) Another club, looking to grab players who leave?
                        4) GPS Management?
                        5) GPS parent?
                        6) Just some fool with nothing better to do?

                              A few highlights from this thread alone. Too funny. I especially love the 2nd one - a club posts negative information about themselves. Someone missed an opportunity as a fictional writer :)

                                And, for the record, there are a number of more altruistic clubs in which to learn soccer than GPS.
                                Sorry I don't come on here each day, I made the "altruistic comment" but I don't work for GPS, but I've had kids at a number of clubs 2 stints in the NSL ,2 different NEP clubs (1 currently at GPS) not all at the same time. My point is that all of these clubs have good and bad people involved, we've ran into both kinds at all the clubs we've been at. So to label an entire club as awful is unfair to me. sure some people at GPS aren't the best, neither was the it any better at the other NEP club or the NSL club we were at. No club to my knowledge is pure without its bad coaches or admins. If there is please name them, I'm sure someone on this board will crucify them too. Find a coach coach and stick with them but know the good coaches at other clubs in case you have to move you'll at least know where to try out.
