SUSA Training Good or Bad

Yet people flock there without a 2nd thought....

It’s not just SUSA. It’s every club on LI. When you have independent contractors at these clubs the quality will not be consistent in every age group. The better coaches with more experience and credentials will go to the best paid opportunities at the better clubs wherever they may be located. The cost of living on LI is higher than most and therefore that effects the coaches/trainers at a given club. That is why you have younger coaches with little experience or higher licenses which take time and expense to receive. Parents have this idea that these coaches are all highly skilled and experience but that is not the case on LI.

Most parents do not have a clue what good coaching looks like. Once they stop cheering every time a kid boots the ball 30 meters and they are not screaming ‘offsides’ at the top of their lungs when a goal goes in against little Mia’s crappy team then we can have a serious discussion.

I cry every time someone yells "off sides" on a throw in!!!!

Trainers are important but ultimately the quality of a team session is more dictated by the effort and focus of the players. A team full of really top players will have more meaningful sessions and a team of kids at the lower end will not. I do not believe a coach can do much about that for individuals. If you want your kid to be better, the child has to be practicing on his/her own, too.

A team full of really top players will win regardless of the coach. If the coach can't make the individuals better then why charge $3000+. Thats why 90% of parents spend that much money - to make their kids better individually. Unfortunately parents are taking it for granted that the 3k you pay SUSA means your child will get better and find out that's not the case after they threw 3k down the drain to play division 3 NYCSL.

Most parents think a coach screaming abuse at a kid when they make a mistake is good coaching and showing passion.

Licenses? nothing more than a marketing gimmick/scam!

any dumb-ss can sit through the class, take the test and get the fkg license.

To be a good coach/trainer, you either HAVE TALENT for it or you DO NOT!

Licenses look good on paper for idiots that liked to be stroked.

Ohh yah any coach? so what if I told you that the poster boy Kozy who so many think is a great coach has failed his USSF C license the 1st time he took it and was not accepted into the USSF B license? and it baffles me that no one has yet said a word today about SUSA's hiring of JR who had relations with a former player of his who is 20 yrs younger than him, or the fact that he got fired at FC COPA in NJ for inappropriate behavior with his former player Rebecca and also stole money? IF SUSA hired people like this it is only a matter of time where we hear another story like the one of the Franklin Square coach who got caught having relations with his 16 yr old female player more than twice. SUSA Hired JR without any caution and made him the director for the entire girl program....its disgusting and he is a creep.

Sorry but your misinformed. Getting a coaching license/badge is a big deal. It is a lot of hard work both studying as well as passing the test. It is very rigid and difficult getting a “B” license Nd very few have an “A” license. In fact, for ECNL the DOC is required to have an “A” license and coaches/trainers re supposed to have the minimum of a “B”. Clubs get around that be saying trainers with “C” licenses are studying for their “B” license.

you are a perfect example of a kool-aid drinker parading your worthless license like you just worked so hard for your dumb-ss associates degree.

this is no different than many people we work with in the office (outside of this soccer world) with their BS BA degrees we often say to ourselves "how does this dumb motherfkr keep a job here?"

Yes your dumb soccer license is worthless compared to someone that has a natural talent for coaching/training and has no stupid license. so please shov it up your -ss.

It's a couple of long weekends and a large check to get the higher licenses.

If you’re calling the SUSA people suckers what does that make clubs like LISC? They play some horrendous competition in the new GAL.

kozy has the #1 boys u11 team in the state. hes been nurturing most of these kids for the last few years. a few of the weaker kids have quit (the ones that can't handle constructive criticism). Yes Kozy, is tough and holds his players to a higher standard. He will not wipe your -ss nor do it for any of his players. We need more coaches like this.
