Don’t undersell it. He’s a NJ Soccer pioneer. CSA won’t be so lucky to get him back though. They lost their chance already.

This is laughable! Who would want him back? The teams he coaches are not doing well. He is a kick and run coach, who flights the teams in lower brackets so they can win. CSA is better off without him.

It became a problem when the older girls started playing high school, mine isn't in high school yet but she has played with the older girls more often in the last 2 years than before.

They didn't anticipate that problem, most of the teams have 15 or fewer players so they girls can get more playing time, when 2 or 3 can't play they end up short. Personally I don't see this as a problem, it gives the girls who do show up more chances to play and chances to play at different levels.

It also means that you'll often have players needing to play out of their regular positions, or players who play in a different formation or are unfamiliar with what the coach wants. And at high school age, this often results in girls getting mad or frustrated with the guest players and vice versa. And it ends up with players often looking elsewhere.

DM was not the DOC at CSA, and in fact didn't do much for them. The girls program at PSA is not doing that well, and the 09 team DM coached at PSA lost almost all their games. Depending who you ask, you'll get two different stories... he quit or he was fired. Rumour has it a ton of kids are not returning to PSA because of him, our friends daughter is one of them. Also, do some research and you'll see alot of negative things posted on a bunch of topics about the guy. From what I'm reading, the guy shouldn't be around young girls. Whether or not it's true, I'm not sure, but there a gazillion people posting about him. (Read the PSA thread and you'll see what I'm talking about.) From what my friend told me, and who's daughter was on DM's team, hes not a good coach, really isn't a good trainer either. My friend had to take his daughter to different trainers for private lessons because DM wasn't helping the kids progress with their ability. (He was good at bringing candy to practice, I'll give him that!) But my friends daughter had to wind up blocking DM from her facebook page because DM made some comments on some of her photos. Kinda creeped her out, as well as my friends. I do like how he posts about himself, that always give me a good laugh!

So is the definition of a pioneer "a coach that lies about his resume, takes credit for other coach's successes, lies about being a DOC at his former employer, lies to players parents while making side deals with other players parents at the same time, rats out his former players to the DA for playing high school soccer out of spite, copies other organization's online training and presents it as his own, a victim of training organizations in his own home town posting videos on social media parodying and mocking him, and all but 9 of his players across 3 teams say no thanks we don't want extra training from you this winter because our money is better spent getting trained by legitimate trainers like brothers FK and MK or RC, DL, SC, etc."?

Unfortunately CSA Bergan is not the only branch that has this issue the Monmouth operation does as well as they routinely have to bring players up to help out teams that either don’t have enough or are constantly missing players.

FAKE NEWS, DM never ratted any DA players at CSA, US Soccer probably investigated and caught them red handed.

So everything else is true? Good to know what kind of person DM is.

I have a question for the group. First I will provide the background. Then I will ask the question.

Background: An organization provides online yoga classes for its u14 girls team to attend. During this online yoga class, there is no soccer instruction. It is just yoga. That yoga class is NOT taught by the team's adult male middle aged coach. A yoga instructor is brought in to run the session. That team's adult middle aged male coach provides no training during the session.

Question: Should the adult middle aged male coach log in to the u14 girls team online yoga session and watch the session, and make comments during the session?

FYI- this situation never occurred with any Cedar Stars team.

What’s the issue? My daughter’s club/team have brought in yoga instructors in the past and it was a very positive experience for them. The coach should be commended for bringing in a separate professional instructor. Yoga has become part of training for many teams from club to the professionals. Yoga incorporates stretching and balance which is so important for girls. The fact that the coach did not participate is a plus because this was about the team and the yoga instructor. There is nothing for the coach to add to the online session. Why do you feel it was necessary?

Quite a few teams are doing this. But, I have NOT heard or seen a coach in the session my children have done. Which coach did this?

I never said that it was necessary. I never said that it was not necessary. I never gave any opinion whatsoever. I just asked a question. I will ask the question again now.
