Excerpt:

...OK, here's the real deal: Team 7 will be called Green Death. We will only acknowledge "Team 7" for scheduling and disciplinary purposes. Green Death has had a long and colorful history, and I fully expect every player and parent to be on board with the team. This is not a team, but a family (some say cult), that you belong to forever. We play fair at all times, but we play tough and physical soccer. We have some returning players who know the deal; for the others, I only expect 110% at every game and practice. We do not cater to superstars, but prefer the gritty determination of journeymen who bring their lunch pail to work every week, chase every ball and dig in corners like a Michael Vick pit bull. Unless there is an issue concerning the health of my players or inside info on the opposition, you probably don't need to talk to me. Coach MacDonald has been designated "good guy" this year. ...

I don't see the controversy.....

Lastly, we are all cognizant of the soft bigotry that expects women and especially little girls, to be dainty and submissive; I wholeheartedly reject such drivel. My overarching goal is develop ladies who are confident and fearless, who will stand up for their beliefs and challenge the status quo. Girls who will kick ass and take names on the field, off the field and throughout their lives. I want these girls to be winners in the game of life. Who's with me?

Go Green Death!

I LOVE this guy. I wish he coached my daughter's team!

Though my daughter's coach is very good, and thinks along the same lines. He is just not quite so vocal about it.

I think someone has been watching too much TV. I am guessing not a lot of actual coaching experience, and the ‘green death’ thing and ‘family cult’ is a little over the top for 6 and 7 year olds.

That said, I think it would be fine for high schoolers

Totally beyond the pale for 6 and 7 year old girls. and for boys that age too. No, that’s not a good coach. He’s got issues with himself.

This is no letter for 6 - 7 year olds. Most would not comprehend the innuendo, nor care. They just want to run and kick.
