Great description of the Albion coaches. They are all like white shoe used car salesmen. Go talk to that flake Kooiman sometime WTH is wrong with that guy? I think he soakes himself in 99 cent TJ cologne by the gallion, flips his collar up, inserts a tooth pick and kisses the mirror every morning! And whispers “Shooter McGavin!!”

That is almost unbelievable, sorry you guys have to go through this and pay for it to boot.
Maybe true, but he is just a tool. Any anger should be directed at the head of the snake.

While there are many Albion coaches that fit the descriptions above and the critique of Kooiman may be correct,
, there are still some good coaches there, as in any club. Wonder if any of those coaches will man (or wo-man) up and get out on principle alone. Kind of reminds me (sorry to go political here) of most of the Republicans in the House and Senate that just get in line behind Trump and play dumb just so they can get what they want - or simply to kiss ass and stay on the good side. Which job is ever worth your dignity, integrity and being associated with this kind of allegation? Would love to see some of these Albion coaches stand up and step out. Somebody needs to do something. How awful to read these stories of these young girls, and their parents. Everyone on these forums should agree to unite and make a report and get as much of the info we share here to the authorities, US soccer, and any SD news affiliate. Albion needs to answer to this...and yesterday. Encourage any young girl to step up and speak out, this is her “Me Too” moment! They will have more support then they can handle! This guy Scheri and Albion need to pay.

It’s to bad you had to bring politics into your message. You do nothing by bashing Trump and his supporters other than alienate others from wanting to agree with you.
I do agree that Albion and it’s staff all need to step up and put the children and their families first before money, reputation and business! Unfortunately that has proven tome and time again to NEVER have been Albion’s business model.

Yes, if enough call the cops and media they will not be able to hide this. I can’t believe they feel that is the best course of action here. Thank you for your post, I hope folks do heed the call and make a report with the media and cops. Create enough smoke and they will be forced to do the right things to protect the children.

Well I don’t think I bashed Trump and I did not share my political preferences. What I was attempting to do, and perhaps did so unsuccessfully for you, and I apologize, was to try to paralell all that is happening in our country and how when people in power are associated with awful and despicable things, what do they do? Albion coaches know what is going on and are able to step up and do something about it. These kids need a hero.
Not all Albion coaches know what is going on. It is not fair to think otherwise or that they all have the power to do something. The only coaches that I know of that have heard something is from parents gossip. What person in their right mind would put their job on the line for gossip. That is why an investigation is needed and why I reported it. However as most of the people on this board are still in club soccer, it would be nice if other clubs and Presidio took a stand against Albion.
If anyone gets news that the press or DA is actually taking action please let us all know.

I’m going to hope your statement about “not all Albion coaches know what’s going on” is not true! MY GOD “Fact” are you saying that Albion has not at the very least informed their own staff about this!? Are you saying that some of the coaches have heard of this “gossip” but don’t find it important enough to go ask their boss about this? I hope your wrong and your just spreading gossip????? Because if what you are saying has truth to it then again Albion is proving to be boarderline evil.

And further more I would put my job on the line if I thought one of my co workers was sexually abusing a child! If going to your boss and simply asking about the “gossip” of sexual abuse put your job on the line then you might want to seek employment elsewhere.
As of a couple weeks ago No. Not all coaches at Albion are insiders that Gins and the Board trust. As an example, but not a really example, is a U9 boys coach suppose to go up to Gins and say "I hear we have a perv of staff. What are you going to do?" That is not fair to a coach that has 5th hand information. But if the coach had a parent come up to him and say my dd received a text from Prev, I agree they should speak up.
If that is true, in the same vein why would you allow your child to play in the same league as Albion and play in an Albion tournament? You are giving money to Evil. But I bet if your kids
coach wants to play in Albion Cup this summer you will have no problem playing.

I agree! Begin the boycott now. All parents of kids scheduled to play in their tournaments from other clubs, say no! Send letters to your DOCs. Force the issue. Albion Parents should be doing the same. Demanding answers, demanding explanations. They are owed at least that. Will they have the guts to do so and maybe have to leave the money machine behind!? Again if the energy spent here was spent outward, maybe we can all start the ball rolling and out this club, Gins and all his kronies. (sp?) just forward this thread to US soccer and the USSDA
In a Utopian world maybe a boycott would happen. People are too sugared up with NG kool aid that is not even funny.
I have friends that still Albion parents and they are on complete denial.

Not fair? Yes, that's exactly what he should do, and any other coach. If I heard only a "rumor" about a coach in my club sexually harassing or abusing a player, or former player, I would immediately start asking around and going to the top to get facts.
To think that a coach should ignore gossip, discussion or rumors potentially about child sexual abuse of player in his club, simply because he did not get the information first hand, is insane and helps perpetuate this evil.
Gossip was AFTER Scheri was let go. Rumor was that it was with 1 player not widespread so the assumption was that it was being handled. Until this week that was the impression I got and the reason I thought there was not a club announcement. I was thinking they were trying to protect the privacy of a victim.
If any other the coaches I know thought that abuse was continuing or not being addressed I know that they would have spoken up despite costing them their job and probably being blackballed with most clubs in San Diego, which you know would happen. Gins has no problem making shut up and calling other DOCs.
I bet your children will play in Albion Cup this year right? I guarantee you mine won't ever. Have you called anyone about this issue? I believe I was the first not that it is important but get off the pot and take action instead of blaming others. And the next time I see Bob Turner I will definitely mention this to him. How about you?

No way! These guys want the victims to carry the burden. They will demand I go public and expose my kid but if you think they are going to unmask and go on Facebook where people know who they are forget it! Great at running their yappers but they will not back it up. Facebook would not be anonymous and not one of these self righteous judges of men will sack up and practice what they preach. Who is going to call for a ban of Albion using their real name? No one, that’s who.

I must have mis-read your post. I thought your example was of a coach that heard that there was another coach in his club harassing girls, and that it would be unfair to the coach to have to talk to the director, since it was third(or 5th) hand. That of course would be absurd. My bad.
Yes, I'll text Bob now.
