The program of Nampa Kid Soccer has always been about fair play and having fun in a NON competitive environment. For the past year the program has dropped in numbers due to parents are being treated poorly by the current President of Nampa Kid Soccer, Mr. Ed Danti. When a parent brings up valid concerns about the club and current situations, Mr. Danti goes on a rant in calling the parents idiots and to deal with it.
This coming from a President of a non profit organization that was founded on getting players out of the field playing the game. Now coaches are warned if they mess up they will have to not only forfeit the game it could cause forfeiting the entire season. The board gets addressed as a whole but for some reason the only person that is to speak is Mr. Ed Danti himself. Nampa Kids claims to be a developmental league but where is the development coming from?
Their current coaches meeting gives zero direction on what they can and cannot do under the Nampa Kid Soccer rules and regulations. They seem more concerned about getting on the coaches about snack schedules that the possiblilty of using that time to teach the players of Nampa Kid Soccer the game. There has been numerous of occasions of frivolous spendings and have high concerns of a non-profit league not revealing where this money that the parents put into is spent.
Is it to better the league or to see what the board members currently can get out of it. Seems the children of the league are the forgotten ones while the others are just content on being part of something. Coaches are all to pass a current background check and unfortunately there are those that are on the board of Nampa Kid Soccer that wouldn't beable to. These are the members we are suppose to look up to as they are the voice of our league. How can they rightfully turn a coach away from something on their record when they couldn't pass one either. Lead by example?
Two main problems with this picture is Mr. Danti has taken a league that is recreational to promoting of posting scores on the Nampa Kid Soccer website. The other problem is there is zero development in this organization and for one the boasts about being a coach for 17 years I should and would expect more.
When we asked for a refund due to the lack of development as the Nampa Kid Soccer says. We were told that we were whiners and needed to just let the child play. Our reasoning for signing our child up was to have our son learn from their league. Unfortunately we as well as others shortly found out there is no true developing on a source to throw money away.
