Their motto is quality over quantity and they keep that promise unlike these bloated so called academies that literally steal peoples money.

Sure quality over quantity....Maybe if they had a little more quantity ie teams and coaches, they could keep teams together to graduation.

Absolutely! Completely debunks the whole dad coach nonsense that the academies preach as a big no no. If you can coach you can coach the results speak for themselves. Kudos to a small club like Real taking on the big boys and kicking their butt. Destroying CSA GA 7-1 speaks fir itself. Dad coach and all.

Truth. Good to see something different and unique.

Not a Real Fanboy or anything but I agree nothing wrong with Dad coaches. And actually there are Dad coaches at some of the biggest clubs. The issue with dad coaches has more to do with how they treat their own kid on the team, assuming their kid is on the team. I for one am not a fan of a dad coaching his own kid on a high level team in any sport but sometimes I guess it works

I agree, as long as they are fair (and often times they are toughest on own kid) then ok. Look at other sports tons and tons of dad coaches, even at college levels. Only youth soccer seems to have a problem with it...why? Simply because it’s not part of the academies business model.

DAd coaches usually are tough on their kid but they give their kids the benefit of the doubt. They are usually situated in the middle of the field,( i.e holding mid), not playing with their back to the goal and are protected by their defense. They can make mistakes without being taken off the field although, they may get yelled at. Other players who may be more suited for that position will be put in other positions so as to protect their daughters development. All are starters and play at least 75% of the game.

This is why you stay away from DADDY coaches.

D has been on 2 teams where the coach was a daddy coach. In both cases, the coach's kid was not a midfielder (one was an outside back, the other a center-forward). So not really sure what you're talking about.

I respect your experience. That has not been my experience, 15 years and 3 kids going through the higher levels of play and one finished with college at Rutgers.


I would never have my kids play for a daddy coach.

The freshman at Rutgers who has played on UNT teams played on a club team with a daddy coach for years. So everyone's experience is different.

Not really. Most parents never played soccer at all let alone at a high level or are qualified to coach anything beyond rec or travel. The enormous popularity of football, basketball and baseball means there's loads of decent parent coaches out there. Refs also.

Generally an exception to the rule

Assuming we are talking about high level youth soccer (eg. ECNL, GAL, ECRL, USYS NL, etc), I don't think there are any daddy coaches who never played soccer.
