★★★★★Demarius Jackson jrVery kid friendly
★OGCHOP STIXThey provide a sports program for the kids and what a shame that we can’t enjoy it due to these sorry coaches. DJ / Steve they coach the (49ers) and director officer Perry DOES NOT CARE. Sent the code of conduct book in a email? Did not reach back out to call or set up a meeting or anything. Terrible. The coaches lack any kind of positive demeanor or respect. The coaches will argue with each other. Yell at the kids degrade and punish them for not winning… next practice he said we going to run because they didn’t win. This is what kind of organization yall like to run and show the youth how to be adults? The kids said your late practice do push ups and his pride wouldn’t let him …what a great role model. Multiple parents, multiple seasons see how these coaches are how they treat the kids and the director or school don’t seem to care. Keep up the great work officer Perry. Great role model. If you don’t care about these things then enjoy but just an FYI. Terrible way to handle everything. We have serious concerns about the treatment our child and other boys on the team have received, which we believe goes beyond standard coaching accountability and borders on a toxic environment. We believe that every child deserves a fair and respectful coaching environment. Your assertion that 'nothing we do or did was disrespectful nor deteriorating' is something we fundamentally disagree with based on our observations and our child's feedback. We will not be moving on quietly. We intend to formally raise our documented concerns through the appropriate channels with the league administration/athletic director and, if necessary, the league's board. We are requesting a formal grievance procedure to be initiated and for a thorough investigation into the coaching methods and behavior. What does officer Perry do about this ? Nothing. Doesn’t even care enough to have a conversation? Wild to me how a man of your decoration can still hold your head up high and not hear both sides of what’s going on in your program.
