All-Star Upa Nationals

@joytomylifex - Oh, sorry - I didn't know that the thread was closed? How do you tell a thread is closed? The last post was on July 8, so I thought it was a recent subject? I happened to be searching for the subject of "UPA", not that particular member.

Regarding the topic of the original post: We as parents are absolutely thrilled about not goingto UPA after last year's fiasco. And I am sorry if I offended you by calling out someone's bad behavior. If you would like to discuss this topic further or the sentiment behind my feeling of coaches displaying poor sportsmanship, please feel free to PM me.

Hey NEliteSteven, I thought as a "coach" you are supposed to show good sportsmanship for other local teams? I've watched you snark against our gym in several posts. Great example you lead as a coach! <cough>

For the record, that "other gym" is thrilled not to be going to UPA. :)

Maybe you should have clicked the PM button as well, if you would like to discuss poor sportsmanship. I'm not exactly sure why Coach was in quotations, but it must not be because you were being snarky. You're above that, right? Typical hypocritical statement, but I wouldn't expect any less.

I wouldn't define being snarky in posts as stating facts for the most part. Sorry if you were offended by the obvious generalization that after being given a bid under the circumstances at UPA, that they would feel obligated to return.

The Northern Elite staff actually has great relationships with most (out of the 5 or 6 there are) of the allstar gyms in Minnesota, as well as high schools; that includes staff, kids and parents. Read the boards, not all gyms have great relationships. I'm not going to apologize for not rooting for the Yankees at the World Series if I'm a Mets fan. There are things that have gone on behind the scenes, that parents are usually not privy to, atleast on our end. We've always kept things civil when we have had less than ideal situations to deal with, which we don't need to get into.

In closing, welcome to the board. I'm glad to see you found what you were looking for after recently joining. See you in November.

Sorry, you're right. I was out of line.
