What is the worst event you have witnessed at a youth soccer match?

Part 2...

CSA DOC calls me 2 days later - no problem, I've coached tourney weekends and it is exhausting.

What was his solution? Well apparently he discovered that Lopez and the rest of the GFC never had a code of conduct. So CSA DOC passes that on - end of story. I guess someone did not do their homework and never bothered to vet the teams/coaches. I suspect the move from GFC followed to the move to Pumas followed by a third jump to CSA in the span of 3 seasons wasn't obvious enough.

I asked coach Lopez if the players card was being pulled. His response was "She did not play that game after and that she was not alowed to play an IWSL game that they had later that day".

Well for one... The ref called the tourney game altogether - they forfieted and were order off the field. Later when I pressed coach Lopez - explaining how is it fair that my daughter is missing school and games and he's not pulling the card, his response was... "When your daughter gets better she can play games with my 05 team".

Holy shit - get ready for it. First off the team is a B team - so thats a violation of league rules. Secondly - the player who beat up my kid was an 05 as well - playing up that weekend. So this coach felt it okay that my kid just jumps on the same team with the girl that committed battery on her???

CSA DOC wanted nothing to do with pulling the card - for any period of time. All about second chances.

Now my kid loves her mates and I did not want to ruin that by being an ass so I'm going at this quietly at this point... I figure if this is a shit show we'll just leave after Fall.

I reach out to IWSL - this was not a IWSL sanctioned tourney so they dont really have much authority. However I'm told "Oh I see the tournament was sanctioned by Illinois Youth Soccer Association, I can get a claim form for you so you can at least try to get covered for your medical bills".

Five minutes later I get a call back, The tourney was not sanctioned by IYSA or US Youth Soccer. I grab a screen shot right away at this point - figuring something was shady. Anyhow the IWSL rep says "I see USClub on there - try them". Now I know the (USClub rep) so I send him and email... You'll never guess, USClub did not sanction the tourney either.

The USClub rep sends a soft cease and desist to the CSA DOC who responds (I have the email). That it was their mistake - that the web page was from the year prior - even though the dates are current

About 45 minutes later the page was updated... Good thing I got that screen shot with the date and URL

A few weeks pass - I am slammed at work and a single dad who has custody of my kid so I cannot always get to this stuff as fast as I should. Anyhow I file a report with the Fox Valley Park District Police. They encourage me not to press charges and I did not - in the event I wanted to file a small claims against the party - they would not have an open response of charges because a report just stays put.

I then reach out to the CSA DOC and ask for the event insurance so I can file a claim with them. 2 weeks later I get that. I complete the report but it has to be signed by the DOC so I sent that - wait another two weeks and only get it (again) after threatening leagal action.

So I submit the claim with supporting documentation.

Guess what the response is?

"We have found a club by the name of Chicago Academy Soccer which is under [the same policy you provided] effective 9/23/19 at 12:47PM". "Due to the above claimant being injured on September 22, 2019 we are notifying you that there will be no Participant Accidental coverage for the injured claimant"

Yup - that's right CSA's insurance policy for the weekend tournament did not even start until the Monday it was over.

In speaking with other club DOC's, had they known this - they would have not particiapted. In speaking with a Ref in Cincinnati a few weeks back, he stated that there is zero chance Refs would have even agreed to participate without proper sanctioning - much less insurance.

Should change the tread title to "Some Shady Shit that Clubs Are Up To".

So now it's on to Stuart Sports Plex and I may even hit up a township board meeting in Montgomery, St Charles and Geneva.

You guys thought I had issues with Sockers

Wow - Updates...

Firstly my kid was out of school for 2 weeks not one but lets re-group.

1. 7 teams were hastingly brought over by the DOC of Chicago Soccer Academy with no vetting and nothing was done in terms of providing a code of conduct to players and parents - this despite these teams having been under 2 other clubs in the span of 2 seasons - Chicago Soccer Academy makes it 3 of 3.

2. 05 Chicago Soccer Academy/GFC from one of the new teams commits Battery on my kid - a full paying Chicago Soccer Academy player. (elbow to chest/slams head into ground twice/closed fist punches her in the head twice and more.

3. DOC of Chicago Soccer Academy sends Code of Conduct to GFC teams and coaches - does not pull card for even one game for the kid who beat the shit out of my kid.

4. Chicago Soccer Academy fraudulently mis-represents sanctioning with USClub/USYouth and IYSA for the tournament where this happens.

5. Chicago Soccer Academy fails to maintain any insurance for the tournament.

And now...

6. Stuart Sports Complex admits to not checking for valid insurance - I was sent a letter by the the FVParks Attorney stating I have no grounds to sue - even before I said anything about that.

That other player sounds like she has some issues. I'm hoping your daughter has recovered mentally and physically.

And Chicago Soccer Academy sounds pretty shady. Hopefully your player will never have to play with them or against them again.
