Yall think that your situation is the same as every situation.
I love the comment about club hoppers and that 9/10 kids aren't any good. I also like the comment about it's the players that sit who's parents are complaining.
lets say that your start out at I9 soccer only to realize that your wasting your money. You join an AYSO club and find out that your kid is better than that. You join a local club with a better name....lets say sunrise. you kid plays there a year or two and now you want ECNL or DA. That means another move. How many moves is that to get your kid to the level that they can grow? It doesn't mean you are a bad player or parent. It just means that you are looking for a good fit.
In my experience, the parents, who's player sits, usually know why they are on the bench. Good for your team if they have 18 talented starters on one team. The complaining parents are the ones who's kid is good and the coach isn't making them better.

Yet another Get Rid of Scott Armstrong post!
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostA handful of us are banding together to try and get our coach removed.
We do not like his coaching style and have made it clear, as a group, that we will leave mid-season if a replacement coach is not granted to us.
The team is actually a very good team and we have picked up some great players recently which have really moved this team forward from where it was.
But us leaving will leave the team short handed so the club is strongly considering our request.
We feel with adequate training we can and should be even better and from watching the training we can tell that it is not great. Other teams have the best coaches but not ours and that is not fair. The coach is also mean at times.
Has anyone here successfully forced out a coach mid-season or seen it done?
We are tired of reading about Scott Armstrong on this forum. We know everyone wants him gone, but hey he is untouchable no matter what he does or does not do.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis has nothing to do with how talented my kid is. We are the parents who watch every training session, see exactly what is happening on a daily basis and therefore know exactly what is lacking. If the other parents actually paid attention they would see the same thing we do. Parents who are not involved are not going to help the team, we are doing them a favor by pushing for this change and holding the club accountable. We would never consider ourselves club hoppers, this is only our second club because the first was a total bust and we won't let that experience repeat itself.

Then there's the parents who are never satisfied (usually with PT or this guy saying he just doesn't like what the coach is doing) or think another coach will somehow "get" their kid and transform them. Those are the ones that tend to be club hoppers in the worst sense. Those are the ones whose kids usually aren't very good or don't listen to the coach or don't put in the work to get better.

one of these days most of you will learn that developing soccer players is not about wins. Hell yeah we want to win that is why we play the game. I would rather have a coach train the team touch, passing and technical skills. in time this will lead to wins. Little jonny may be faster than anyone on the field but he cant handle a firm pass to his feet or beat tommy one on one his speed means nothing. This game is so much more than putting the ball in the back of the net.

OH Boy the only thing a coach should communicate to the parents is when and where you are driving your child. In fact that is the team managers job. A coach should be there to train your child. As far as playing other positions that is great then your child may actually see the challenges the other positions face. and honestly who care if you lose a game.
