[Unregistered]

Can someone post what coach Rich Finneyfrock does to make the girls and the team better? What’s his coaching style? Do the girl’s genuinely like him and is he hands on with them? Thank you.

I think y'all are missing the point. This team's record was 1 win 3 losses and 4 draws. At least 2 of those losses (to PDA) happen no matter what as PDA is a very good team. But the loss to Match Fit as well as the draws against PDA White, Maryland, Bethesda and Delco were all winnable games. In fact last year, this team did beat those teams. So this team could easily have a record of 6 wins 2 losses, which likely puts them in second place right behind the top PDA team. It also has them qualifying for ECNL playoffs. The talent is there for this to happen. The difference between being at the bottom of the pack where this team is at now, and the top of the pack where it easily could be is very simple. This team barely trained this year. It had an absentee coach, and was more or less coached by a dad instead. You look at the other ECNL teams we play, and I can guarantee you each and every one of them trained more than we did and was coached by a professional coach with no influence from an unlicensed and unqualified parent coach.

The choice is simple, if your cool with being mediocre compared to your ECNL peers, not making ECNL playoffs, but being able to brag about a patch and a ranking, then the status quo is good, if on the other hand, you believe that this team has the potential to do much more than it is currently doing, then you should be contacting the club every day demanding change.

Are you “contacting the club every day demanding change“ ?

No. Sadly we are too afraid of repercussions. But we know that people are reading this board, and believe that if more people spoke out against the status quo on here rather than tried to defend the indefensible, than perhaps the tide would turn.

You are still planning on leaving after this season if no changes are made, right?

Why do you care so much about what that person does?

And it sounds like there many of you that are demanding change. I’m so curious to see what happens next year and hope you all keep us outsiders posted.

Can someone please respond to my question about tour coach? Thank you.

Thank you.

I hope this ends the fighting between the ecnl and ecnl-rl on here.

Good luck to both teams!!

Agreed. Good luck to all.

Go back and read this thread. A good proportion of it talks about what is lacking in the coach. Team (parents) are unhappy and the players are afraid of him. He doesn’t seem to be involved and relies too much on the assistant coach who is also A father of one of the kids on the team.

Thanks. Because of this are you planning on leaving after this season is up?

My daughter is deathly afraid of him. Over the course of years with him, he has said not one word to my daughter individually. Nothing. Zero.

He has said nothing to her? What do you mean? I don’t understand. I’m talking about the head coach. Rich Finneyfrock.

Messing with you. He’s cool. Good coach.

Zilch, nada, nil

The coach is eh. Neither here or there. Not much communication with the girls. My daughter is easy going and can take him or leave him. Not sure she’s become a better player because of him necessarily.

My daughter really likes him. Hope this helps.

Most if not all of the girls on the team are deathly afraid of him, he has reduced many of them to tears and threatened all of them with being cut if their parents don’t tow the line. They do not feel comfortable approaching him about anything - and that’s actually the reason some of the girls like BB on the sidelines - he is at least nice to them.

He has never given my kid an ounce of feedback and from the other parents I talk to he hasn’t given their kids feedback either.

He is an A licensed coach and has been very successful on the high school front.

This post is not bashing - just stating the Gods honest truth - and anyone who has a kid on this team knows this to be true. It is what it is.
