Not NLM and would have let it go except for the "I don't think there was an intent to cheat" statement. So director and coach clearly cheat, then lie to the families about it, and the [Censored] believe them. At some point the parents need to be better and demand better. And no - not all clubs/teams cheat.
ML 2027 parent here. Our son told us after the fact that they knew they had an illegal roster. Not only was it the older player, there were also a bunch of unregistered players who were on the field. They were 27's but not on the official roster. The kids were told by the coaches not to say anything about the 26 and other players but it got out.
That is awful. Typically when teams roster cheat, the coaches don’t tell the boys, and they have a cover story in case they get caught. For example, when the MadLax 2026 dmv team was caught by HoCo using 2025’s and disqualified, they claimed that they thought HoCo had given them permission. Nobody believed that, but at least they did not admit to the players that the team was a fraud. I have never before heard of a coach telling the team “okay guys, we have some illegal player so let’s keep it quiet”. Great ethics. I’ve heard nothing but bad stuff about the daddy coach but that is by far the worst. Serious question, why would you keep their son on a team when those are the lessons being taught?
