From what my son said there are four from same AAU team. One is hurt. They have played together in hundreds of games. And he said at least 3 others have played a year or so of AAU.

That is the point. AAU players on the bench. Why

Most successful teams have many girls doing AAU

Big Mac. It sounds like you would make good coach
Forum: Fairfax County General

AAu play of course does to ensure someone will be good but it gives experience. We are back to that word again
Forum: Fairfax County General

Problem is there are multiple AAU players who are barely playing. These kids all have some skills and game experience and could contribute to this team. No they are not college bound. This happened last year. It does not make any sense to exclude them. This season needs to be about this season. The kids who work hard six days a week deserve this.

From all these postings, there is obviously a perceived problem. Most parents, not all, are just as concerned with the experience of kids as they are wins and losses. They want thngs to be fair and for adults and school leaders to set a good example. If what the person said about talented upperclassman being benched last year and perhaps to some extent this year is true, then that is where pro

What PTA parent is part of it?
Forum: Fairfax County General

The truth is the interpersonal and game management skills matter more. They have the most direct and most compelling impact on the kids. Not saying it is one way or the other at the school. Just there is more to it than skills developmemt

From what I heard the parents did

For the most part it is never a good idea to hire anyone because they are a woman, man, etc. Generally best to hire most experienced candidate. Nothing personal, just a statement that is generally true. Why were the talented playwrs on the bench?
Forum: Fairfax County General

Lb Alumni Problem is both the short and long-term impact on the girls. Many upset and all afraid to speak up. Runs much deeper than anything posted so far.
Forum: Fairfax County General

There is an obvious problem here. For everyones sake lets hope it gets better
Forum: Fairfax County General

The suggestion was made cause PVI said parents were upset with program. So a logical solution is get feedback from them. You are pretty angry so your connection must be tight.
Forum: Fairfax County General

I dont think being nasty is the answer. Perhaps someone who knows the coach or athletic director should suggest a confidential survey sent now to both last year and this years parents on how to improve things. Everyone can learn somethng from every situation.

PVI said it well Coaching is hard. Experience does help. But in reality it is what it is

In the know i dont have a kid who plays there. If I did I would be talkng to administration. People who do know dont see talent in those freshman

Coaches shoukd be held to same standards as student athletes. This has nit been case here. That is real issue
Forum: Fairfax County General

That comment about a kid sucking is Uncalled for.
Forum: Fairfax County General

Coach K There is talent there. Girls who have played together for years. This coach runs them off one by one. There is data to prove that. Just because you were a great player does not mean you can coach. Coaching is about more than the sport you coach. It is about setting an example that a school can be proud of. It is about fairness, compassion and service. Most of these kids will never
Forum: Fairfax County General

Actually charade that is not accurate. Many people have talked with this coach with no results. This is indicative of a bigger all around issue. Kids sports are out of control. Poor training for coaches. Politics in the school. Parents People do care.
Forum: Fairfax County General

And it was a 2a school. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, is talking about it. Hire a coach from within school system that has flexibility and sets a good example. How hard can that be....?...
Forum: Fairfax County General

That same coach has lost at least three because she wont give some kids a chance. It is not about win or loss but about the example that is set. It is not good one.
Forum: Fairfax County General

Again, I encourage tge two of you to realize you agree. Natalie is awesome. And there are others who could and would contribute if tye coach was being open and fair. In other words.......need experienced coachibg.
Forum: Fairfax County General

I think the two of you agree. It comes back to coaching. Freshman who have little higher level experience should not be given all that game time at expense of seasoned players. Speed is not the end all be all. It is of NO value if you cant get the ball in the hoop. My son knows this game. He knows the girls too. LB needs experience.
Forum: Fairfax County General

Natalie is a huge talent. Amazing. I think what the person is saying is there is other talent not being given a chance. Maybe if the coach would wake up and give these other girls time in game the team could win. Son says some girls being excluded because they arenit among favorites

From what my son says two of the best shooters get no time in game. He has played with them. He said it is not fair and team knows it. But coach does not listen to feedback

Is the athletic director aware of what is being said? My son says the girls are often crying. Isnt sports supposed to be fun? I hate to see kids unhappy
