My 12 year old daughter and her friends have had a coach that they know at another club contacting them through personal snapchat and instagram accounts trying to get them to join his team, sometimes late at night. Is this something that is allowed to happen or are there rules in place to prevent this?

As a coach of a u13 boys team, I would never contact any player directly. This coach/trainer should now better and they should block him/her immediately or you as a parent should contact them and tell them it's inappropriate. Good luck

Yes great that your child told you. It is unacceptable to reach out to students prior to HS. Even in HS communications should be kept to facts only like information about practice times, what jersey to wear etc via a text or email chain. No friending or other social media. Purely informational. A smart coach copies parents on everything regardless of age.

FC SESA has been known to contact players from other clubs via their Instagram account. What would you judge that to be?

I have 2004 and 2007 players, my 2004 was contacted and offered free training at FC SESA.
Blocked them from my sons social media accounts. I have Never heard of a club using this tactic to recruit before. I agree 100% Clubs should have rules governing the contact of minors through social media. Disturbing.
2007 has no social media yet. It wont be long until that conversation starts.

A reputable club would already have rules against this, and a smart trainer would never participate in that kind of behavior. I would report him to his DOC.

If this is NYCSL they are in theory against this kind of thing but it would be hit or miss as to whether they would actually do anything about it.
Have no idea about what EDP would do.
Depending on the club if you complained to their club president they may or may not take action.

This wasn’t a rouge coach who made a bad decision, this occurred under full knowledge of tip club brass.
