Re: Lamphere High School

I am tired of deleting all the trash that you people in Michigan post on here. (Nothing against Michigan, I went to a college there, although I am from OHIO....Anyway my son played some great squads in his day from Vardar).....Back to point....There is to be NO using of players Names, Initials or Numbers, especially if used in a negative way. Also forget about using coaches names in an inflamatory manner. Please patrol yourselves. As far as EOM I got tired of writing "deleted" so I opted for eom. END OF MESSAGE, meaning post gone!
I live in Florida and that is where the board originates, so we may not get to the posts here as often as we patrol the Florida board, AND we do not understand all the stuff that is posted in Michigan. This forum is here, (I and the others do not recieve any money in providing this board), for your enjoyment. We hope that it is entertaining, may provide some insight, and hopefully some information. I know that people, (because this forum is anonymous) will use it for revenge or just nasty comments but that is not the intent. We have the ability to block and curtail the use of posters who abuse the policy of the forum. I as a moderator will try to do my best to moderate, but I do work and I live in Florida.....snow suks unless you are skiing....Thebes20

Re: Lamphere High School

Seems like from reading these strings, they would end if the following were simply addressed
1-why wasnt there a talk with the parents about training with your brother, a few from the team constantly told they should come
2-why wasnt there a talk with the parents about the girls trying out with your club (poaching), instead of just pressuring the girls (poaching), from a high school coaches position
3-why was one and two denied to the AD when confronted
4-why didnt they come to the tryouts, including a few that played for the club already, one of which played varsity for the HS team
5-why are there so many players that talk about demeaning, negative, and belittling comments made during the training and season
6-why are there some that will play softball instead of soccer

Hey Thebes20

What do you think of the Det News article and how would feel if he was training teen girls in YOUR soccer community???

Re: Lamphere High School

And how do you stop writing checks to a high school team?

Re: Lamphere High School

Let’s think about this. Obviously folks can stop writing checks. But I don’t think this is what these strings are about as I am sure those with grievances have already stopped writing those checks and moved on to happier pitches. These forums and strings are for those investigating clubs they might write checks to, so informing them with information is valuable in that endeavor. In fact the deletions and Mlive patrolling and court cases simply mean that the info on these strings are either lies or truths that certain clubs do not want read by perspective check writers, right? So the question is what is the truth. While some simply want answers, just simple explanations of behavior and actions, the answers have been lawsuits and deletions. Interesting isn’t it? It would be fairly simple to explain one’s actions and behaviors, yet the allegations are handled by deleting the easy ones (Mlive) and complaining in the courts and to forum administrators (here), instead of answering the questions asked. It only leads to believing the numerous allegations of the posts. Where else are those who stopped writing checks to go, to help others from falling into the same situation they were in, and these are kids.

Re: Lamphere High School

Besides the drama and who will play etc, any predictions (besides they are coming) on how they will do in the blue this Spring?

Parents,
This is the first time and only time i will be on this forum. I am sorry for all the bad things people are saying about your kids and the Lamphere program.
I have ignored this kind of garbage too long. I talked to two young ladies at school and said to them they did not seem to get into playing the game that day. They both said yes and nothing else was said. I did not coach VE U-16 G to stay away from these issues. I only trained them and my daughter is on the team. I was expecting a very physical rough game and the R.O. team played with great composure no conflicts.(Credit to there coach, and players) Parents,There are some people that are very jealous of your children. Sometimes they are in the same school. I will have my Attorney handle them - - - - . As for this forum please do not respond to this trash. Parents, and Players (call with any concerns)
People you dont have to wait any longer see you in court.

I’m afraid that you have not understood these postings. There are no posts that say bad things about the kids, and no posts that say bad things about the Lamphere program. Only posts that say bad things about the coach of the Lamphere soccer team. Your version of the of the comments said to your HS players about their loss to VE while playing for their club team, doesn’t resemble their version of the encounter. This, of course, could be because girls often mix up what has been said to them, or they take the comment in a way unintended by the communicator. Unfortunately, we have endured a season of your comments to our kids. Our kids came home with your demeaning comments, negative motivating techniques, and then the unbelievable Centerline game tirade. Sure kids can take things the wrong way, but over and over and over again? I don’t think so. And from more than one or two kids, all of them expressed issues about your comments to them. Are there parents that are jealous of other kids skill, playing time, and accolades? Sure there are, but I don’t see postings about that, only about the behavior of the coach. The kids said you pressured them into coming to a training session with your brother, without talking to their parents, clearly a violation of numerous moral issues and maybe a violation of more serious charges. The kids said you pressured them into trying out for VE, clearly a violation of poaching policy. This wasn’t a one time occasion, it was said you talked to them so often about this topic that they avoided one on one conversations with you. They reported that you constantly put down their RO team, and their coach. Telling them they would progress much farther with VE training. This was brought to the attention of school administrators by more than one parent, and nothing was done about it. You lied about the conversations you had with our kids, or our kids lied. But our kids’ stories were all the same, and there were more than one kid that collaborated the conversations. Yet your word was the one believed by the director of athletics of Lamphere, and nothing was looked into, and nobody talked to the girls about the details of the violations above. Before you call these posts garbage, you may want to think about asking the girls if they had fun last year, if it was a rewarding experience, if they “progressed” as you like to say. You need to learn how to talk to, instruct, and motivate female athletes, because there are players that do not want to play for you this Spring, and others who are telling us they are not looking forward to it, because of how the coach treated them last year. Doesn’t that say enough? Can you explain why they feel this way?

This needs explanation prior to worrying about the blue

Re: Lamphere High School

Do you think he will return to Lamphere girls this year, after all the crap???

Re: Lamphere High School

Yep
