Amazing perspective and not a surprising post from a coach. Most coaches aren't very bright. And their compensation reflects their contributions - which is similar to a landscaper once you add up all the hours.
If parents knew what they were doing, they'd demand more from the clubs. Instead, they try to justify their own spending by defending those same clubs.

The kids are the ones harmed.
As it relates to ODP/RTC, the coaches are generally there to pad their resumes and progress to the next licensing level. They have some real losers in the program but there are a few gems.
On the club side, you see the same thing. A few good coaches and then there's the lot which consist of: emasculated men looking for an opportunity to assert some power, booze hounds looking for camaraderie, young bucks/does looking for acceptance and the completely delusional. Licensing demonstrates you're ability to pass the academic side of coaching. Unfortunately, the other elements of coaching aren't measured. Most of these bozos would be relegated back to rec.

Licensing is a joke. If us soccer is your standard then you've already failed. Like trump university degrees.
Academic side of coaching?
A good 70% of A license coaches in this area are a laugh. Give me a good coach with an a license and I'll give you one that isn't respected and I'll give you a coach that doesn't have one that is better.
If you were a good player us soccer gives you a B license.
Pretty rediculous to think playing with adults makes you qualified in their eyes to teach youth.
It literally is all a scam. Come get our hall pass so people think you are ok to coach young players.
We have the best basketball program in the world and there isn't any licensing.
Zero in football
Zero in baseball
But go figure we have a congestion of terrible coaches with a letter grade licensure failing US soccer on both men's and soon to be female side.
Soccer doesn't bring in the money here like football, basketball & baseball. Licensing is all about some fees for the license and creating the illusion that kids need to do pay-to-play soccer with a licensed coach. A scam but it's our American way.
Timbers/Thorns still haven't posted the ODP rosters, and the Region IV website doesn't show an 04 Girls team from Oregon. Wow, the program must really stink if they can't even field a team.

My kids team had an "A" license coach and it was a joke. Didn't give a crap and didn't know how to coach players. My kid is playing at a good college probably because of a coach who had their "D" and thought it was a waste of time.

Pretty creepy that you even care. If you were on the team you already know who's on the team

01's and 03's have Cal South in their bracket so they're doomed anyway. 01's will be lucky to get a point in this tourney. 05's are in a weak group but they're one of the weakest in the group so...
Strange how Thornz ODP is so weak and diluted that they can't even field teams at 02 and 04.

Hence the reason they had to include 05's in the GDA. Strongest 04's are holding tight at current club. Can GDA offer anything other than a discount and camio of Tobin to pull in 04's?

Not too many Oregonians have an 'A' License. Those that do, tend to coach at colleges or at the Pro level (some local DOC's might have an 'A' License). If your kid is playing in college, it has little to do with the letter grade of the coaching license your club coaches held & more to do with the ability of the player and their grades.

How can the first two sentences be so incorrect it's comical. You either know little or lie just to sound smart.
I can name 10 dumb letter a license coaches that don't coach college are are mediocre

Cal South always wins it all. Tough draw. Good luck to the Oregon teams!
