With no HS game for RF until Friday there should be “makeup” practices all week....Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The whole dad coach thing gets a little dicey when college recruiting really starts to heat up. When we start attending showcases it might be worth it to send any coaches attending our games a quick note explaining the whole dad coach conflict to help even things out a bit.Comment

Don’t see ANYONE getting recruited for D1...maybe D2 but even at that you are talking a stretch...and the college coaches won’t care if it is a dad and conflict of interest or not....Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Truth - teams that practice one time a week generally don’t have any D1 recruits.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

of course there are no D1s on this team. But still might be worth sharing with any D2 or D3 coaches some of the dad coach back story of this team. Unfortunately it’s probably the only way to even what is otherwise an unfair playing field because of dad coach’s machinations.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Coaches want kids with character. Not kids who can’t stand on their own two feet. Also in todays environment colleges want nothing to do with any kids that even have the faintest hint of overbearing-parent-related scandal. Seriously. Any whiff of scandal and they are looking elsewhere. No kid on this team is that good that a coach would overlook it.Comment

No scandal if not followed through with...only scandal is among the parents...unless the club removes RF and BB and makes a big deal about it...there is no scandal.....Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The current college admissions bribery scandals involved parents - not necessarily the kids, paying bribes to put their thumbs on the scales to help their kids get admitted to better schools. So yeah - absent some cleaning up and change, the actions of overzealous parents of kids on this team should negatively impact their children's chances at any sort of soccer scholarship. If the club isn’t going to take action and ensure a fair environment, then parents need to take matters into their own hands and do what they can to level the playing field – and the best option for this is to contact college coaches and let them know about the kids on this team who are being propped up by their parent’s actions.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It sounds like the father master manipulated everything and continues to do so. The club is at fault. The parents who were a part of the scheme sit idly by. And the daughters are the ones who will ultimately suffer.Comment

The last laugh will be on these parents when their little MIa’s get no soccer scholarships and they realize they traded their integrity for nothing. Better yet the last laugh one these parents will be when dad coach throws them under the bus in an effort to get his own kid a scholarship and in return their kids get nothing.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

There is a reason the vast majority of ECNL and DA clubs do not allow parent coaches . You all are fools to allow this dad coach to run the team - good luck with your daughters college soccer dreams - she will need it!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

That’s great, you mentioned the club, the coaches and the parents....must have been some deal. FC Bucks is a great club and unfortunately some people that are spreading unfounded rumors are trying to destroy it.Comment

Maybe FC Bucks was a great club at some point, but when the club refuses to step in and stop what is going on with this team, and in many cases, actually participated, then it can no longer consider itself a “great club”. Nothing mentioned in this thread is an “unfounded rumor” – it is all 100% truthful fact.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
FACT – this team was formed in the living room of a parent (JM’s and NM’s house) at a meeting that included parents of players of the FC Bucks North Team, Brian Brossman, Rich Finneyfrock and Chris Fehrle.
FACT – tryouts were held, but 13 of 18 spots were already chosen at this meeting before tryouts were held. Those chosen prior to tryouts were most of the FC Bucks North team, Brian’s daughter and her friend.
FACT – Brian Brossman is a dad coach. His daughter is on this team. He has your basic bare-bones soccer-dad coaching license. He is not a paid professional coach for FC Bucks, nor is he qualified as such. He coaches this team at practices and at games, yet he is only listed on any official documents as a team manager. He also goes out and continually tries to recruit players at ODP and elsewhere to join this team, but is very careful to never recruit any player who may end up competing with or making his own daughter look bad. He is only there because of his daughter, who receives preferential treatment in terms of playing position and playing time because of his role
FACT – The person listed as head coach is Rich Finneyfrock. He has deferred coaching responsibilities to Brian. He has missed several games and practices due to various personal conflicts as well as conflicts with his high school coaching duties at Villa Joseph Marie. He is planning on missing several other games this season as well.
FACT - this team averages 1 practice a week. Between weather, inability to secure turf space, inability to look at Rich’s Villa schedule in advance, last minute schedule changes, and poor planning, this team barely trains and when it does train, it very rarely has full participation of all players.
FACT – Rich Finneyfrock provides little to no feedback to his players.
FACT – all of the above has caused a talented group of players to stagnate in terms of development, and has caused this team to not be as good as it could be..Comment
