Lack of Female coaches
Where are all the female coaches in the ECNL
This is just part 1, but definitely makes you think.

makes you think about what? -
Maybe it is the men in the coaching and leadership ranks that keep women away. Get more women in DOC and ECNL leadership positions and maybe this will change. Why do so many male coaches prefer to coach girls instead of boys teams...just not sure why and hate to speculate. This doesn't happen in other sports as much. Ie..more women basketball coaches, etc.
What is typical paycheck for a ECNL level full-time coach? Anyone know?Comment

This is all about nothing......
Is the % of female coaches in the ECNL really all that different than the percentage of female coaches of non-ECNL teams? I'm not talking about all teams. Let's make the comparison the same. I'm talking about the % of female coaches of PREMIER elite level teams in the regional and national leagues of the USYSA. I think that the article is attempting to create controversy where there should be none. It is merely an attmept to create ill will toward the ECNL. Typical Top Drawer Soccer drama BS. TDS is the National Enquirer equivalent in the soccer world.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Not an ECNL parent
This is a ridiculous post. I agree that it would be great for our girls to have more women role model coaches and hope to see that grow, but this is not a unique problem for ECNL. Fact of the matter is, most premier coaches, at least from what we see in Massachusetts, are men. Does not mean all of these men are qualified to be coaching at premier level or know how to work with young women for that matter.Comment

You should keep your daughter away from college play then. The 1 in 10 percentage in the general population is more like 3 in 10 on college athletic teams and at some schools more like 50%. It shouldn't be a problem but it can be when there are couples on a team. My player's team had two couples last year which was against the team rules set out by the coach. It can be a problem just as players fighting over boys could be a problem. When a couple breaks up it can get ugly and affect team play. Just saying that the coach's sexuality had little effect but the players' sexuality had much more in terms of cliques within the team. Good luck in protecting your dd from her teammates who may discover this new interest in college.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It is unfortunate when someone telling the truth is called a bigot. If your daughters have been around college sports they can tell you how it is. This is not a value judgment - just a statement of fact.
The first poster needs to pull their kid out as she won't survive college sports if she shares the parent's view - or send her to a Christian college that does. The world is different today -and I would say better- but that doesn't mean that problems don't exist on teams due to homosexuality or due to heterosexuality, cliques, drinking, male predator coaches etc. Every team has problems and the sexuality of a coach is the least of it.Comment

Get out of athletics, you don't belong with that attitude
You have the right to feel as you do, and if that is the way you feel, run from athletics! My little darling , and I have 4 , have all been coached by lesbians , gays and straight and I love them all the same ! But athletics is filled with all types so you and your attitude better run and run fast !Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Why? Are you afraid that your little darling Mia is going to be "converted?" Grow up! What does a person's sexuality have to do with how well they coach? You're a moron.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
BTW, I am a heterosexual male. I don't care what the sexuality of the person is that is training and coaching my children as long as they do a good job of training them and teach the game to them in that manner in which it is supposed to be played. What the coach does in their private life is their business.Comment

Women do not take on coaching roles because they lack confidence and are challenged to separate duties between mothering and coaching. Some other reasons that I see is that they are being informally pushed away from coaching at the entry level; feeling a constant sense of scrutiny from other adults (“is she really qualified to coach my kid?”); being made to feel like an outsider in the midst of an “old boys’ network”; having to contend with men’s sometimes “intimidating” loud voices on the playing fields.Comment
