the board needs to understand that Cheer is just as important as football. our girls practiced 5 days a week without fail and was at every game to cheer those little boys on. I find it highly offensive that our so called board was refusing to let them have their playoffs which was the competitions to compete in and the one the parents paid for. but one of the biggest things was the horrible and nasty way they treated the cheer coordinated. this board was vicious and deliberate with the hateful attacks on her and the cheer program. they need to be removed immediately.

I won't cast all the blame on coaches. I opted out toward the end because of some patents as well. During the Bellview fiasco, I heard the most disgusting comments from some parents in the stands. I couldn't allow my son to be a part of that hate-filled environment. I lack words for what I heard the male coach say, sorry "scream" to the Bellview woman who was causing problems . Shame on him. He is lucky he is alive. I could handle my son not playing- that is a lesson every sport has to teach. However, hate isn't something I want my child around .

I am so glad that action is being taken on this matter. The park needs major change, including (but not limited to) a new park President, one that does NOT belittle the players, and one who encourages, NOT discourages the players.

I agree! I have never expected to see grown men (from the board) disrespect women like I saw at one of the cheer meetings. I was disgusted! And for the boys, how sad for some to have to practice all week just to watch the coaches kids or friends of their kids being able to play? Something is wrong with that picture. Its supposed to be all volunteer. So why such a power trip for some? Its just sad.

Yes, my son practiced all week and very rarely played more than two downs in a game. Parents and the kids made big sacrifices to be at practice. While most of the kids played offense and defens, all the others who had worked hard all week just watched without having a fair opportunity to prove themselves.

I refuse to be anonymous. I withdrew my son, and myself as assistant coach because I saw clear signs, and witnessed specific incidents of "winning is everything" attitude. Playing to win is important in any sport, but if coaches can't offer new players some fraction of the commitment those kids give to the team, then they have set truly dishonorable examples of leadership for these young men to follow.
