No, my issue was he handed out awards to 5 of 8 players and another that isn't on the team and wasn't even in the game and overlooked kids who actually played hard and scored.

Either one pin to the player of the game or none. I would prefer none. You won the game as a team now enjoy it as a team. |

Did your kid say anything about not getting a participation award?

He went on to say how he felt bad for the other 2 kids that didn't get a pin. He genuinely was not concerned about just himself. |

As a former coach and son of a grade school teacher, I can without a doubt tell you that without a doubt it's NEVER the kids that are tough to deal with and ALWAYS the parents. If you work'em tough at practice one kid's parent will get upset bc "Timmy cried in the van after running too much." If you take it easy on'em, johnny's dad will take you aside and tell you that "you're too easy on those kids out there," and his son is "talented enough for the big leagues someday and needs to be challenged."
My genuine suggestion would be to relax a bit, he's only 8 and you're already posting criticisms of his peewee soccer coach on a professional sports forum |

JFC one of the most opinionated and outspoken people on this board is afraid to stand up to a little 22 year old soccer coach? Do you keep your balls in your purse when you’re not online.

I'm still wrapping my head around 6 out of 9 players getting MVP pins. The "M" stands for Most. How can 6 out of 9 be "Most"???
It sounds to me that you will never be happy with this coach, so move along. Take you kid to another league, move him down a division, or have him play baseball. |

Can we all appreciate the fact that when he ranks his kid at “best” 6 or 7 out of 9, he’s really an 8 and a 7 on a good day??

YOU AREN'T THE MFing coach. Unless it's a safety issue then leave him and the running of the team alone. If you think your son is being taught something wrong then teach him on your own time. If he wants to pass out some awards and your son doesn't get one then big effing deal. Work harder. |

"Competitive" youth sports is a cash grab against parents wanting to live vicariously though their kids or thinking they have the next Tiger Woods or Serena Williams without having to do any work developing them themselves.
You're either a gifted phenom or you aren't. Those kids tend to get free "scholarships" with these teams and the rest of the parents are there to finance the operation. |

So if your son had been a recipiant of one of the 5 awards passed out that day, to go along with his playing the most minutes of anyone on the team that day, would we still have had a thread about a crappy 22 year old coach who plays favorites?
