I know two bully coaches in the 04 age group but would not name them on the forum for fear that there would be repurcussions. Especially when at least one is a lurker on here. But maybe we should be having those conversations?

In one of my Surf Cup games we had the head coach arrive late to the game. His team was dominating the game, 2-0 15 minutes into the game, until he arrived and immediately began to yell at his players. All of the comments were negative. At one point, one of his players told him to F-off. The ball went out of play and I (AR) had a short conversation with the coach while the CR talked to the player. I reminded the coach that the tournament rules stated the coach with coach using a positive tone and words. That settled down the coach until halftime. He started the same derogatory comments in the second half and the CR talked to him this time. The CR and I briefly talked before the CR told him to change his tone and comments to the players or he could leave. He left and the assistant coach took over. The score was 4-2 at this point in favor of the other team, but the team rallied to tie the game. These toxic derogatory coaches have no place in youth sports. We all know the Blues coach that is toxic, but parents still have their kids play for him because his teams win. I have refereed many of his games and it is evident the players fear him. If he yelled at my kid the way he yells at his players I would pull her off the team and let her go play for one of the other outstanding coaches we have here in SoCal.
