Question regarding FC Dallas Club Reporting Relationship

Hi,

I have a question regarding the reporting relationship between FC Dallas Teams and FC Dallas. Are all FC Dallas Teams fully independent? If I needed to provide feedback regarding Coach behavior or conduct, who would be the best to approach? I would imagine that FCDallas wants their name to be associated with respectable, professional individuals that uphold the organization's reputation.

Thanks for any insight you can provide,

let the bodies hit the floor!!!!

99% of the coaches are working under the umbrella of the club, similar to a franchise where you get the put the name of the business on your door.

Reach out to the director of coaching for your group, should be listed on their website.

You must be new to select soccer. Fcd has an earned reputation already.

"Murder" is correct.  pretty much independent franchisees, although it is written into agreements that the club can replace the coach, and this fact is conveyed in the fact sheet handed out during tryouts.

My experience with FCD - I did bring ethics and abuse complaints about a coach to the Director of Coaching (who is still at FCD by the way ) years ago.  He didn't respond until I tipped him off that the coach was also trying to take the team to the Texans - he got REALLY interested then.

If you find a coach ethically lacking or abusive, depending on severity and your tolerance, best move could be just to move on....

The MLS Franchise and Youth Club are separate business entities --

For girls, you should contact Chris Ring.

Clever.

That'd be Hayden then --

Should have paid $ to coach and DOC. That would have never happened first place.
Best is to move on.

Like any big club, FCD has good and bad coaches.  My player is U18 and some of the best coaching she experienced was at FCD (and she has played for 3 of the big clubs).  

If you have problems, go to the DOC.  If they are not interested in your problem, time to switch clubs.

A word of advice to parents and players who are currently trying out for FC Dallas teams and are being sold the possibility of playing for higher tier teams in the club by the coach. Some FC Dallas coaches claim the only way you can play for FC Dallas Academy Teams and FC Dallas Premier Teams is to join one of their clubs first, because you have to be a part of the system. All they are doing is taking your money because FC Dallas is currently giving positions on the Premier Team and Academy Teams to non FC Dallas players over current FC Dallas players. It would be better for the coach to be honest with players and coaches in the beginning and let them know if they have the talent for these teams, but I guess that would cut into their profits.

I would not limit it to FCD.

Pretty much any team at any club is going to take the best players that show up regardless of source or prior affiliation.

At least they have a million teams, and DA, FDL, ECNL, ECNL2, JDL, and LH.
