This was the worst managed team I have ever seen. The 14U coaches (Danny Williams and Mr Sayor) did the boys the worst service. Danny Williams doubles as the President of Pop Warner Rancho, so all the other coaches are afraid of him and they let Danny Williams be the head coach.
Examples of lack of management/class/Leadership:
1) no offensive playbook until the 2nd or 3rd game. We practiced all of August....had games the first weeks of September and no playbook until the 6th week of the Season. Our Offense had no idea what to do and it was just schoolyard/backyard ball at its finest.
2) Practices were NEVER kept per the schedule. They kept changing the practice schedule week to week, and the night before. As a working parent, to have a set schedule going into the Season, and then to have that schedule change week to week and day to day put and incredible strain on family life, and shows zero respect for the parents, the kids, discipline, and time management.
3) Coach Williams cancelled a Monday night practice because the Dallas Cowboys were playing Monday night football. Coach Williams is a BIG Cowboys fan. Again, zero discipline, and how Coach Williams comes before the kids.
4) the offense would practice and the defense would stand and watch; or Defense would practice and offense would stand around and watch. Special teams would practice and everyone else would stand around and watch. WORST TIME MANAGEMENT
5) Team never had the correct number of players on the field during games. They routinely were missing 1-2 players. I get it....1-2 times.....but it happened 2-3 times per game....EVERY GAME.
6) Coach Sayor had very poor class. Yelling at the other teams players that they were "scared" and "afraid". I have never seen a Coach go after the other teams players before....when they are 12 and 13yrs old.
7) There was a time when practice was routinely cancelled for all sorts of reasons, but a group of about 10 kids decided to still show-up and practice because they wanted to be prepared for the game, instead of continuing to get their butts beat. These 10 kids showed up to practice and the practice was lead by parents. Coach Williams showed up to, but since practice was officially cancelled, he decided to NOT coach these 10 kids at all. He decided to do field maintenance and leave the kids on their own.
THAT WAS THE THEME FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON, THE KIDS WERE ON THEIR OWN.
If you want you child to learn about Leadership, Honor, Commitment, Class, Sportsmanship, discipline, time management and the game of football......you will go play for another team. read more
