Just pulled my daughter off her TB team due to the HC being verbally abusive. Every drill is “ your not doing it right” or “ you should have this down by now” or “you should know this stuff already”
They have also benched girls for making errors mid inning as punishment, also will get the whole team in a huddle to discuss an issue with what one girl is doing. Instead of just coaching up that girl. It seams like purposeful shaming... before leaving I was in the process of becoming an assistant coach on the team so I just finished ace and safesport training and this fits their description of verbal and emotional abuse. While this coaching was team wide it seamed worse regarding my DD. I don’t know if I should report this? Or if I should contact any other parents to let them know why we left? Most parents don’t see it when it happens at practice, but it happens at games too so they’ve all seen some of it. Thanks for any advise and helping me vent.
