2017 Cal South State Cup

Doesn't she have 2 teams? Same issue with the other team?
I agree, that texting during a game is not cool. Unless there is some type of emergency going on. For the record, I'm not a big fan of hers. It just seems a bit odd to play all season and then bail on state cup. Or did these players bail earlier? Are they playing with their new team?

Guys, did you miss the word "contributing". I know some parents on that team. Would you not say that constantly texting during a game could be emblematic of a bigger issue and doesn't exactly jive with "progress" and "development" irvingkau cites, or do you think it's perfectly acceptable?

Yes true if it's a symptom of a bigger issue and not a one off. Thanks for pointing that out. Meant no offense.
 
Zero offense taken. Sorry if I came across as defensive, it was not my intent. Tone is so hard to convey over the internet.

I'll try and find out, Tim. I know there was a similar situation with the LA Premier 06s. They played all season (and did ok, but through gritted teeth I hear) but before State Cup the team fell apart. Those who remained are playing on the "B" team in Governors to get the game time, whether they stick around once the season is done is another matter.

Totally agree on tone.

Are you speaking of holleyand rennie as the 2 teams?

I think she has three, but I don't know anyone on those two older teams.

If "developing" is a focus for these parents, I would recommend searching for a new team, there is much better out there...... just saying.....not a fan.

Funny you say that because my DD mentioned to me after a game vs blues that all the coach did was sit down, text, look up, and yell. She thought it was so silly that at one point the coach briefly looked up from texting and yelled something to an opposing player by mistake thinking it was her player.
I also noticed once the ref blew the whistle ending the game the coach was already on her way to the parking lot.

Sounds about right. And was probably late to the game as well. Probably recruiting in the parking lot for next season. Not a fan, who would be? :(

The LAPFC situation included the replacement of a well liked coach on august 1, after all players were locked in. The replacement coach was the younger 2006 players fifth coach in four years. Very sad and unfortunate situation for a very talented group of girls. I believe the remaining LAPFC group is playing in mayors not governors and should do well considering the bump in talent!

Just speaking the sad truth and keeping it real. Parents, do your research before you commit to a Team and Coach. Look for Coaches who are ethical, have the best interest of the player in mind, don't show favoritism, treat their players with respect, put player safety 1st, only bring in guest players when needed due to injuries, look for a Coach who has played the game and understands the game, their main focus is to "develop" the player vs winning and burning out the players by playing every weekend for a trophy and medal, watch a practice and ensure they do more than scrimmaging, make sure the coach isn't on their phone or talking with the parents all practice.
 
I have a daughter who plays on one of her teams. What you are saying about her texting during the game is not correct. She uses her phone as a timer and that may be why you see her looking at her phone. Also, my daughter has developed tremendously from her coaching and have seen players develop on all her teams. I believe on her 06 team that is being combined with Rennie, they are taking6 of her players and 2 of Rennie's. As far as success she has a lot of regular season and tournament success. She won the 03 champions league playoff with a brand new team. Her 06 goalie left when she was not asked back and is also a competitive snow skier and decided to focus on that. After games she does not run from the field. She is always taking the time to talk to players and parents. If she ever leaves it because she is off to another game just like any other coach.
 
It's ridiculous that people are posting statemenst to discredit someone all the while hide behind a message board. People need to think about what they write and put in perspective about what they're writing about.

I guess my eyes were lying to me then. Thanks for the heads up
 
Okay Brandy, sorry I mean ocsoccer17, whatever you say. :) So it takes two hands and waggling fingers to check a timer, funny how that works... :) My eyes also need checking. On that theme, seems we don't see eye to eye on this but we are all entitled to report what we see.

The following is not aimed at the coach, just at your post: winning things with a brand new team does not equal development or progress, it means you have good players. Improvement is shown over several years with the same core group.

I have nothing against the woman, I really don't. I'm just telling you what my DD told me and what I saw first hand. My DD is 10 and could care less about discrediting anyone. Sorry that offends you in more ways than one.

HAHA I am not Brandy. I have been around club soccer for quite a while I have an older daughter and older son that play soccer. I am just sharing my experience with the coach.
 
I also meant no offense. In fact, I first took the stance that it wasn't about the texting. Apologies, if there was any hard feelings. I'm absolutely sure everyone wants progress and development.

I was only teasing. But in all honesty no offense intended and I certainly have nothing against coach.
