long term development...what coaches stand out?

Allegiance 07 are fantastic, what was embarrassing for them about the video? The other team.was back not pressuring so Allegiance defenders passed back.and forth baiting the attackers to move up.

Scuba, the way you drool and gush over Pedro is embarrassing

Lots of good coaches around DFW that don't have to post videos of their team and brag about "passing" 400 times (look at me, look at me), especially while playing a FAR lesser team (anyone else seen or played that team?) , passing w/o a purpose.
Allegiance 08 team should not even be compared to 07. Maybe the 08's can get few players to come over for free, poached from other clubs too? Solar wouldn't allow McKinney to have half of his team with no fees or reduced fees, so quit the "resources" BS. And McKinney wouldn't go intentionally aggressively poach other players. If you don't believe that, ask around!!!
But I will agree that his teams do pass well. If you are that good of a coach, you don't need to post some BS videos, allow players to play for free... They come if you are that good, regardless!
Be Humble - (and some of those parents could use a little dose of that too! )

Someone is a little bitter jealous. Posting videos is a way to celebrate teams successes, not bragging. AND might we dare say a bit educational? Gawd forbid someone in US Soccer is doing something different, better for the kids. Keep doing your thing, Pedro.

I love when people can't give factual info or real thoughts. They always get emotional and then they away jump to the "jealous" line because they nothing of substance or information.
Feel free to add in what the "educational" part is. Personally, I think it lacks class to put that video basically shaming a far weaker team.

Can anyone say robot?

Guys what do you think about the coach from Dallas kick black or Salazar ? They are on first place and 3rd on classic lesgue.

Juke.
Facts:

1. Number of passes by allegiance teams. Can you challenge? Oh right you don’t believe in video. Yeah, passing isn’t everything but what would Barca say?
2. Number of forum comments in support of Pedro. Ha. Positive of course.
3. I’m sure we could crunch W/L % by all teams, not just league and weight by playing up
4. I’m sure we could survey and evaluate player happiness and retention.
5. Education. 93% of communication is body language. Great coaches tell corrections. Exceptional coaches show them. Video. There’s that word again.

There’s more. But Juke I have no dog in this fight just thought your message was ridiculous so felt compelled to respond. Keep on being bitter jealous. Maybe that’s a fact that will bring you happiness.

Just the facts, Juke, I mean Jack :-)

FAR lesser? Wasn't that an 05 team Pedro posted against his 07s with all those passes? No credit for playing up? If you don't like his style of promoting his team....move on. It doesn't take food off your plate so who cares? AGAIN, the Allegiance boys are STILL LEARNING to pass, move, and make the right decisions that come along with "passing w/o a purpose". So while it may seem like it is "passing w/o a purpose" to you, there is a bigger plan in place but you wouldn't know because you are ignorant on the matter being Pedro's bigger plan. You are only seeing part of the plan and foolishly commenting.
Pedro, has three coaches, one being a part time goalie coach. He does not have other coaches on staff to game plan with...so yes, HE HAS LESS RESOURCES TO WORK WITH. Undeniable, though you try.
Also, how do you know he allows players to play for free? Have you heard this directly from him, or are you talking with other people and using second hand information? Come correct or not at all.

To make this more Interesting, I can CONFIRM that Pedro offered to let my son play for free if we signed.

Oh- poor TaHO! Now we know why you don't have man!! Too sensitive and naive.

Bo (only) Knows what Pedro tells him to know! -
Yes- I know first hand - to my face- and same story here as Cobras Kai, so please don't play dumb! Might be surprised how many coaches in Classic are aware of this as well!

Less Resources? He has his own fields that he doesn't have to share with others and can train and change his schedule whenever he chooses, his fields don't get closed like others, he can charge (or not) whatever he wants, he doesn't answer to anyone, he can do whatever he choses on uniforms... He has 85% more control over his teams players than most other coaches, lots of coaches don't have anyone to" game plan" with nor do they most of the time, and that is basically his choice because it is his club.

And for those that triggered, please go and research where I ever said Pedro is bad coach. Deep down I think he a good guy/ coach. It is my opinion that he is young and insecure at times and the boasting videos are just looking for "validation" from his sheep. His teams all play strong soccer and if people see what you are doing, they will come, regardless of some BS video. But if you publicly post a video like the 400 passes, then in all fairness, be able to accept what comes with it. Hopefully with more experience he will get better at that kind of stuff ( but lord knows most of his current parents can't help him develop in this area!)

Lastly- Bo- this is a Forum- you have the right to believe whatever you want, but be able handle the comments or at least have your wife close to hold you after you do!

It is really not that serious! 70% of these boys will not be playing soccer (or making 400 passes in a game vs a herd of cows 3 yrs older than them) when they turn 16yrs old anyways!

Pedro knows how to please the ladies and the ladies please Pedro. That's how free soccer works.

From what I heard 2nd hand Pedro's 08 team is the newest of his 3 teams. IMO they will eventually be at the top of the standings. It is very hard to play the way they play. If Pedro was only interested in the win he would have his team launching long balls like all the rest do. Pedro's 08s would be at the top if he allowed them to play kick and go soccer. He makes them play the hard way, the right way and it is beautiful to watch. They are the ONLY D1 team I have seen that scored after a 30 pass possession. All the other D1 teams struggle to complete 30 passes for the entire game. They just launch long balls and the forwards chase it down and muscle it in. I'm looking forward to catching an Allegiance game and see how they do with their new additions.

Mmmm yea...Pedro knows how to get those balls movin.

Tahoe!  Is that you girl?  I haven't heard from you in ages...I was just laughing about that tournament in vegas when we hit the strip...I'll never forget how you got up on the stage at amateur night and hit like a pro. Whew. Good times girl. Call me...let's catch up.

Pedro also approached my son about playing for him, same story, FOC Free of Charge, so I know that happens. Like someone said on another thread, if Pedro hasn't approached your son to play for his team, check your kids pulse..........wait a second that was me that said that, anyways its still the truth.

I lost some respect for Pedro when I saw his 07 team score a goal and all the kids ran over to the corner flag and one kid machine gunned them all down, fairly classless in my opinion. Maybe he lets them do that if they have a 67 pass sequence and then score a goal. I was also not a fan of the Friday night practices, there needs to be some soccer life balance.

As a side note, I want to party with Foxysoccermom, just say'n.

So everyone is talking about “pay to play” and not having enough coaches being a problem. According to your BS Pedro is giving free rides, and somehow you think that’s bad???? Even if that’s true, just how naive are you to think the big clubs don’t do it?
FC Dallas has at least 10 full teams playing for free.... Most independent clubs do the same.... Whatever club your son plays for would do it, IF they could, or weren’t so greedy… and Fun fact…. EVERY TEAM HAS KIDS ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, even your perfect team. My team has two!!!

You’re claiming you could have easily had one of, if not the best coach around for no cost and you turned it down? I don’t believe you.

Not that your respect is worth a cent, but he lost it because he lets his kids celebrate their goals? Are you saying Professional players are classless for celebrating their goals? Hold on, when was the last time, have you ever watched a Professional soccer game?

All of us are hoping for a college scholarship. Play and go to school FOC FREE OF COST and you’re trying to shame one man for giving people financial assistance…. You clearly don’t like him….. I’m wondering why….

Anyways, movie time with the family… but before I go; you claim to know him, if you want to help him, you should reach out to him. Don’t be a coward and hide behind the screen. Better yet, be a grown up and take this post to NTX vs the world!!!

Wow, ahhh ok where to start???

First off you have way to many exclamation points and capitalized sentences in your post, calm down and take a breath, its U11 soccer.

Second, there is absolutely no problem with Pedro or any other team scholarshiping kids on their team, that's their prerogative and money and time, I was just helping answer a question that BoKnows asked about "how do you know", that's how I know. I don't know where you got the idea that I "know him", I had a couple of interactions with him, I wouldn't say that I know him. I also don't want to "help him", he's doing fine on his own I think, I'm not sure what you were inferring there, but if anyone is going to "help him" i vote for Scuba Steve or Foxysoccermom.

Third, not that you "believing" me is worth a cent, I have no reason to lie, I don't feel the same way about Pedro as a coach as you do (or Scuba Steve obviously), its just that simple. I think that there are better options out there and we found one, no big deal.

Fourth, with regard to celebrating, I have no problem with celebrating, I think its great to get excited that your hard work payed off in success, I thought that mowing your teammates down at the corner flag like the St Valentines Day massacre was classless, one mans opinion. I can't claim to watch a ton of professional soccer, but I have never seen that celebration except in the NFL, and I believe the NFL thought it was classless as well, that's why they outlawed it. Maybe you like that kind of thing, that's your opinion, not right nor wrong.

Finally, you stated that "all of us are hoping for a college scholarship", how do you know that? Is there not room here for "my kid plays soccer because he likes it and to have fun"? When you say things like that I can only imagine how much pressure you're putting on your BB to be successful, and based off of your sharply worded post at someone giving their opinion, I can't imagine what that car ride home after a loss feels like. Like I said at the start, calm down and take a breath its U11 soccer.

Caught the 1st fifteen minutes of the Allegiance 08 game, they had 4 subs on the bench and they scored 5 goals and had possession passing beautifully. Then it started raining so went home. They could have scored 20-30 goals. Can't wait to see how they do against the Kicks coming up.

I am starting to think that most of the Allegiance homers are the same person...  

They were clever enough to start a new alias that started this thread, to troll the forum and say the same things that have been posted in every topic all over again.   now you have all new troll food laying around everywhere.

My kid plays for one of the big clubs and they play long ball. He loves his team, his teammates and his coach. He is happy and l'm not going to be a party pooper and move him to another team. He is enjoying it plays his heart out and I'm not going to throw a monkey wrench in his joy of the game by moving him to another team. In a couple of years he will be playing middle school and he could want to also look at other select teams too.

All I know is what I see and the only team I see playing more advanced soccer is Allegiance, hands down no ifs ands or buts about it. There is plenty of video evidence online to confirm.

Yesterday it appears Classic called off the games after I left. Allegiance was still playing when I left and they were dominating possession, passing beautifully and had 5 goals in about 15 minutes. Plus I counted 4 suited up subs on their bench. I'm looking forward to see them play some of the top long ball teams in the coming weeks like the Kicks.

Dominating effort yesterday by Allegiance, against the team Mckinney hung 12 in the 1st half last week. Not exactly a measuring stick but we hear yah... :

I've heard steve knows a lot about domination. He likes to wear just his scuba fins while getting spanked and quacking like a duck. If you can picture it in your mind...it's quite disturbing.
