McKinney Soccer Association

We enjoy playing with MSA. But this post is about Emmy Bruner. On 4/11, she called my son’s game. I want to give her a shout out and let her and y’all know she rocks. We all know soccer is a physical and contact sport. There’s going to be some extra pushing and shoving from 9 and 10 years old boys. And some calls maybe missed. There were kids and a coach screaming and yelling at her through out the game. But Emmy stood her ground, kept it professional and stayed calm, cool and collected. You can tell she enjoys what she does and care about the kiddos. She called a great game. Keep up the good work Emmy. Your work didn’t go unnoticed.

Massive skill disparity. If your kid isn't joining an existing team with well established coaching...its going to be blowouts all year. Its incredibly discouraging for kids to come into a game with absolutely zero chance of scoring in a game...much less winning. They need to fix their skill based matching urgently.

I’m so disappointed in McKinney soccer association. My first grader is playing at 7:15 at night on a school night. Whoever decided this is dumb I’m sorry this is ridiculous and way too late for younger kids.

The fields are turf which is not great for a number of reasons. The adult league refs are really inconsistent and incompetent. Beware or you could get seriously injured

"This won't be the first time your child will be disappointed." That was the exact response I received from Cynthia after I had spent three to four days trying to get in touch with her. I was genuinely stunned—not only by the insensitivity of her words, but also by the sheer level of unprofessionalism it revealed. For someone in a role that supposedly requires communication, empathy, and accountability, this was beyond unacceptable. To wait days just to receive such a dismissive and condescending remark is not only frustrating, it shows a complete lack of respect for both parents and children. Rather than offering any solution, help, or even an ounce of basic courtesy, Cynthia chose to belittle the situation with a sarcastic and hurtful comment. It’s hard to imagine how someone with such poor communication skills and disregard for families can be trusted in a position of responsibility. If this is the attitude that paying customers and parents are met with, it speaks volumes about the organization’s standards and the kind of treatment you can realistically expect. Parents should not have to chase down communication only to be met with rudeness and disrespect. What’s worse is that a comment like this doesn’t just reflect poorly on her individually—it undermines the credibility and reputation of the entire program. Professionalism isn’t optional; it’s the bare minimum. And when staff members fail so blatantly in providing that, it leaves no confidence in their ability to manage much greater responsibilities.
