What is going on over at SoCal Blues?

I was told that the director of the club is now the youngers coach and that Baker is leaving the club? Can anyone confirm this?

Heard Baker is leaving Blues and JSerra.

Yes Larry is coaching a girls 2009 F2 team. He had to step in and take a place for a coach that was fired

Is he being forced out or found a better gig.

Must have been for a better gig. I just don't see Blues firing him, unless the girls/parents were tired of his abusive nature.

I don't think Larry has ever been the doc. Tad was supposed to retire a while back, but I think he is still doc.

Leaving coaching on his own.

This last weekend at my DD's 06 game RR and TB were scouting. Typically this would be done by AR. Found this odd why they were there, however this rumor does shed some light as to possibly why.

so AR was the coach that was fired as referenced above?

No AR is there. It sounds like maybe they are moving coaches around.

Won't be club soccer if coaches, directors, teams, players where not moving, switching, or leaving. Nature of the beast.

Some of my kids teams have had great coaches that moved up on the food chain, got married, started families, moved to find more affordable housing, etc.

The only thing that's certain is change, ever year in youth sports is different and this one has been a real doozy so far, best is yet to come...

I agree but usually it starts in May? This was an April surprise for sure but one that needed to happen, MOO

Are parents happy about Baker stepping down? He has a winning record but i have heard he isn't the nicest coach.

Heard Baker is going to do training at Slammers. No coaching, just training.

Baker started at Slammers. I remember at GU9 my DDs team attended a tournament , and Baker came over and talked to a few of our parents.

Timely that this thread is running concurrent with conversation about loud abusive coaching...
