Good Afternoon Trojans and Trojan parents,

By now you all have no doubt heard that the Long Beach Patriots 10u grossly violated league policy by having a 13 year old participate in 10u games. My coaching staff and I along with our Chapter President have spent the last 72 hours weeding through rumors and facts surrounding this matter.

The league President and his staff acted swiftly after gathering facts surrounding this group of misguided coaches and parents. Their season is over and they are having to stand by for future league suspensions and penalties.

While all leagues have to deal with over zealous parents and coaches, to say that this was egregious would be an understatement. Again, the matter and the justice surrounding the matter has been resolved.

With anything we do as a staff of volunteers, we have to keep our kid’s safety first. When this does not happen, I personally need ANSWERS. I am satisfied with the answers provided by the league and it’s leadership. We will continue to work with the league utilizing solution oriented dialogue regarding future occurrences of situations like these.

While I know some of you have chosen the more “emotional” response and posted things, I’m personally asking that these be removed so we can continue to put the work of the chapter ahead of our own personal situations. I thank you in advance for this deed.

I’ll see you all at the team party.

Respectfully

Coach Tee

Terry Anderson
