@Control Freak I am sorry you and your kid had a bad experience with Tudela. I have come to the conclusion that if you are around long enough in youth sports you will have a story of your kid getting hurt/cut/mistreated/etc..., it just seems to be par for the course with youth sports. Maybe you came on the forum to vent, maybe you came on the forum to offer a true warning of what you experienced, maybe you were hoping that others would confirm your thoughts about the coach/club. But what is working against you is the following:
1 - You are a brand new member and came out with the guns firing,
2 - You used the words "ignorant," "coward," "bad rap" and "I heard..." (you are going to get push back when you start name calling and spreading rumors),
3 - you made specific reference to a geographic area in a negative way (US5 @ Norwalk),
4 - you complained about the lack of yellow and red cards (most would argue that is isn't a foul until the ref calls it),
5 - you made the mistake of thinking that all of the posters care about rankings and specifically for a 2007 team (no one really cares about rankings - at least whats what we tell ourselves)
Most posters would/will:
1 - Encourage you to find the right coach (not club) for your kid,
2 - Be sympathetic to your kid's situation (if the rhetoric was toned down a little),
3 - Recommend you minimize the name calling & calling out specific geographic areas,
4-Wish your kid nothing but good luck and success in their soccer journey.
Good luck to you and your kid. I hope you find the right coach and environment for her to thrive. Take a breath, and be very cautious of posting when you are mad (trust me).
