⚽️⚽️⚽️…Delusional Youth Soccer Parent Thread

I wasn't thinking about crapping on players, just how you might determine which kid it might be. You don't have to say how you narrowed it down.

I know who it was but my lips are sealed Not willing to name names on a public message board

yeah you gotta be careful sharing your opinion on stuff. Never know when someone is gonna get upset about a screenshot lol

it absolutely is, and it seems like when we talk about WSA NL right now, Tx conf being the toughest conf isn’t taken into account.

I've mentioned it numerous times. I think Tulsa people have brought it up a lot that if Tulsa area NL was in a different conference things would be different.. High School season has always been the reason why they haven't moved.

Allegedly…..a dad of a 2011 was buying things for the coach last season. The player wasn’t quite ECNL level. Likely some quid pro quo going on there to be on the NL squad. Fast forward to this year and the girl wasn’t offered a spot on the NL team. Dad gets pissed off and goes scorched earth exposing everything to OEFC. I will say parents have been buying coaches stuff since the beginning of time. It was certainly common during my time at TSC. A parent exposing the relationship to the board is a different matter

Yes... parents have been buying coaches stuff for a while. I know there was even a parent bragging about buying a coach a pair of expensive shoes. Yet nothing happened in that instance. So, this makes me think there might have been more to the story than just paying/bribing coaches. Or maybe, in this case it didn't work and hence the scorched earth tactics.

If only it was all merit based, but that's not reality. There always has been and always will be those looking for a leg up and money always talks.

I joked this weekend when we heard this I should offer $$ for our coach to cut my kid. I would save $12k a year. (But she is obsessed with soccer and her team)

That's wild to think someone would rat on themselves unless they have no desire to be back at the club, or care about how they look trying to bribe a coach.

Never met a parent from Edmond? lol

Did he give a time frame for that? What does he consider winning?

Preston doesn't develop players, he recruits. Never has he produced top talent.

That could be said about like, 99% of the coaches in Tulsa lol
