OCYS Consolidated Thread

[Unregistered]

They are not going to fix them, they are not able to fix them, there is no money to fix them, that is obvious. It is not just that they may be over used, it is obvious that they are not killing weeds and taking care of bug issues. When there is no grass in the corner by the flag that is not over use. I am certainly no expert but it seems that something is eating them up or something else is killing the grass. It is to bad, OC put a lot of money into them when they took over, now they are going back to what they looked like at the end of the FSA days. It seems now that OC has told OCYS they are on their own, they aren't able to take care of them. I wonder what they will look like when ECNL rolls into town for the showcase in December. I don't think that there is enough time to get them in shape by then. again too bad.

These fields will be used for rec and the DA and ECNL willie to Lake Sylvan. It is Phils way.

OK then, we will come to the office and let us discuss.
Prior to that, we need to get some assurances. As a sign of peace and sign to come to the office, we ask DOC or any other bald head in charge to paint their head to look like a soccer ball. That will indicate a peace sign for us. Waiting.

As a sign of peace, everyone in the office will paint their heads to look like a soccer ball. Those who don't have bald heads will be forced to shave them. What design would you prefer? We can do UEFA Champions League, EPL, La Liga, MLS or any other league. As a special favor to you, we can also do the Brazuca World Cup design. You are our Master and we are your humble servants, so your wish is our command.

Correct. I don't believe OCYS has the money to fix them. They have ant piles on some of the fields. You would think they could at least get rid of those and they haven't even done that.

Make it to look like half ball. That will represent the half good soccer pragram you are providing.

No grass in the corner is also over-used, they cut-corners in everything.

I could see the DA getting moved up to Sylvan as they are now part of the Pro club. I don't think that the same will happen to the ECNL teams. They will probably stay where they are.

How will you know if you are getting a response from OCYS instead of someone from another club who is just making something up, or someone who is just guessing at the answers?

Do you assume that every answer to a question about OCYS on this forum comes directly from the club?

You have a point there.
What would help is having transparent consistent policies and standards. In its absence all responses and guesses rhyme well with reality.

No one has to defend wide open manipulations and extortions.

No one joins a soccer club and pay high fees to learn about "Life is Unfair" lessons.

What? Did you just put a few big words together in hope that it would sound intelligent?

21. NPL Standards:
Every club should:
21.1. Have a minimum training-to-game ratio of 3:1 for teams at U-11 and U-12, with trainings that range from 60-105 minutes.
21.2. Have a minimum training-to-game ratio of 4:1 for teams above U-14, with trainings that range from 60-105 minutes.
21.3. Limit the participation of their teams at U-14 and above to competitions with only one game per day.
21.4. Have a specific technical and tactical functional training program for each position at U-14 and above

Let all your club members be made aware of this.

Bullying by Coaches and Clubs

D'oh!

Advice for parents

"...To combat bullying by coaches, Swigonski recommends that parents:
pay attention: observe practices, obtain reports of locker room behavior, and pay attention to a coach's behavior at games to gauge the negativity and prevalence of the behavior;
focus on the behavior: make sure the focus stays on the behavior that needs to be addressed and not allow efforts to correct the behavior to be derailed by the coach's use of defensive techniques (in too many cases, sad to say, with the support and backing of the club or school);
ensure that coaches are covered by a code of conduct. Students aren't the only ones who should be held to a code of conduct; coaches and teachers should too;
report bullying. Reporting behavior to Child Protective Services may also be warranted, depending on what state law says. Most states have laws describing emotional abuse as injury to the emotional stability of a child as evidenced by an appreciable change in behavior, cognition, or emotional response. While there are no clear guidelines regarding verbal bullying aimed at a team rather than an individual, bullying by a coach of an individual child should be reported immediately to club officials. "Nevertheless," writes Swigonski, "such behavior is unacceptable and coaches should face consequences for verbal misconduct including demeaning, name-calling, and insulting young athletes.

OCYS is totally out of line with US Club soccer requirements. Who is responsible?

NPL clubs are expected to meet all minimum requirements and Base Club Standards, and make consistent progress in achieving new NPL standards each year.

Except for the minimum requirements, these Youth Club Standards are designed to be aspirational guidelines that reflect specific areas or platforms that clubs and club leadership should be targeting for growth, change, and improvement.

How meeting the "minimum requirements" is verified and enforced?
