My son played on a U15 boys club team which was routinely beaten by 15 goals or more. It was the most humiliating season of his soccer life. It was painful as a parent to watch and more painful for him to play out the season. He went on to play in college but never forgot that season. Having gone through that with him, I am in favor of the "elite" program on the field on any given day show some sportsmanship and consideration for the other team.

Maybe TSSAA could enforce the recreational "5 goal" rule. If a team gets up by 5 goals, then a goal by a player that has previously scored results in a goal kick. If a goal is scored by a player that has not scored, then it is a goal. When this happens with my U8 daughters team (and she cannot score again), she will tell everyone to let the other team score so she can score again. Works for me! B):thumb:

It seems through the years of posting and discussing this topic (my position has never changed) we have come to regard 10-0 advantage as a point of "enough is enough". We have documented the "best comeback" and "close to comebacks". So, yes, a score of 8-0 does define an outmatched or in many cases (required divisional play) mismatched opponent, but taking the score to 10 goal advantage or greater was previously defined as unnecessary, padding one's statistics, poor sportsmanship and overall a loss of control.

Signal Mountain 8-0 over Hixson. What is the minimum score which generates a letter to the editor of the nearest paper about what a terrible coach the winner has.

 

What makes this 8-0 score worthy of note is that the school screamed bloody murder on a lopsided score last year.

 

 

.....HHHMMMMM, 11-0 versus Sequatchie County ??? and what was the Notre Dame v Signal Mountain scores that created such an uproar/whining from Signal Mountain last season ?????......Just how black is that pot ? :popcorneater:

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
