Reinstate Coach Rodrigues — Stand Up for Fair Treatment


As concerned parents, team players, and community members, we are calling for the immediate reinstatement of Coach Rodrigues, who has been unfairly suspended following an incident involving his son, a minor and player on his team, being physically pushed by a referee during a recent match.
Coach Rodrigues is a respected leader, mentor, and role model who prioritizes the safety and growth of his players. The disciplinary action taken against him appears to be a misrepresentation of the facts and fails to hold the referee accountable for inappropriate conduct toward a child.
We respectfully request that Mass Youth Soccer Association conduct a full, unbiased investigation and lift the suspension of Coach Rodrigues until all facts and video are reviewed thoroughly. Suspending a coach for standing up for his child’s well-being sends the wrong message to players, families, and the broader community.
We stand with Coach Rodrigues and ask for a fair and just resolution.
