Sta

[Unregistered]

Its human nature so attention has to be given by the coaches to make sure its controlled. With some effort, it can easily be dealt with or it can be left alone to fester like weeds in a garden. Pretty soon the garden is overtaken. The trouble with STA, which is different from some other clubs, is that they foster some of this behavior themselves, both in practice and in games.

I would agree from witnessing the same

My kid has been at several different clubs including STA and its all the same with the kids and cliks. The only thing I thought was different at STA is the relationship with select parents and the coaches. Certain parents are close with the coaches similar to what you would see on a town team.

Several different clubs ? Looks like you are the problem everyone just at a different place.

Couldn't agree more the coaching is very unbalanced, a shame because some of the coaches are really good teachers, they just need more development on managing the team environment and the politics parents bring. I could tell you as a coach that any coach worth your time know how to deal with those issues early on and not let it fester. STA Strong they claim its time to step up and apply it, not use it to excuse the lack to implement environments that promote development and manage parent politics better.

Its a widespread issue so I would say its a problem (the lack of skills in coaches to manage the team environment and parent politics) too many have to people face.

Ha. Never said there was a problem. Just pointing out wherever you go kids will all be kids. Its not just STA. Actually my kid is pretty outgoing and has made friends where ever she has gone. Now with STA coaches I think they tend to get too chummy with some parents which is something I havn't seen at other clubs except back in town socccer days. Just my view. Take it or leave it

06 team was terribly clicky when we were there. So I agree with above post as that was our experience. Perhaps it was just the age group.

Still is very clicky good luck to any new players joining.

so true. would not want my child on that team with those players. No good at soccer and no good in real life. Pass

This dude is a small *****ed coward. Anyone who even remotely justifies this behavior should walk in front of a train immediately. U are the bottom of human life talking **** on kids you soulless human

Absolutely possible. Among other possible big changes including Newman losing the whole club when he goes to jail. All in all its business and don't take it personal all you devoted STA peeps. The STA location i am sure will survive its just may look a lot different next year. Its already going to look different without Tim

STA and PSA will not exist. The visa thing will take down 3-5 of the top guys. They have already have criminal defense lawyers working on it. It’s bad.

You’re right then. I suppose we will find out eventually.

Whats sad is the STA devoted parents really don't see or understand whats going on. I know quite a few parents over there and they are oblivious. I am curious to see how it will all pan out but I would assume the club(s) PSA and STA would be bought by someone
