Players, parents are outraged after the Spanish Fork soccer coach was released for no apparent reason

A beloved and successful head coach on the Maple Mountain High School was displaced on Wednesday for no reason to convey to the players or their families.

Coach Kalin Hall converted the Golden Eagles from a 1-9 team to 8: 3 in just two seasons. He already planned for her next season when he received a letter on Wednesday that the NEBO school district did not extend his contract.

As a player and their families learned about the news, a petition was started. In almost 48 hours they collected almost a thousand signatures.

“We were extremely disappointed on the ground,” said Kristen Miner, mother of two players in the team.

Other parents feel similar.

“It feels like we're starting again. This school fought in these two years to really develop and become this strong team and simply take it away. It feels like we're starting Ground Zero, ”said Marisa Thayn, who has a son in the football program.

One parent said Hall is a likeable person.

“Coach Hall is probably one of the most likeable people I have ever met. Loves children. He turned the program, ”said Steve Stonebraker, who also has a son in the football program.

He said his son was looking forward to playing his final year under Hall.

“I asked the legal man in the office, and he said Steve, there has to be nothing in his file because we can just cause people, and that's annoying.”

Stonebraker announced that a approval of almost 80 percent of the team approved by the team received approved approval from the player overview of Hall.

These parents are also upset because they said they had just handed over their booster club and all their funds to the high school shortly before Halls. They question the timing of everything.

Kutv asked the Nebo school district why Coach Hall was released and whether they would consider the petition.

They sent an explanation that is:

“I appreciate your question.

Please note that high school coaching positions in our district and throughout the state are an employment. The school administration has decided not to renew the coach for the coming school year.

The position was published and you hope to have a new trainer next month so that you can work with the team and build these relationships that are of crucial importance in the world of student athletics. “

Kutv also turned to Hall, and he sent an explanation that was:

“I want to take a moment to express my deep love and appreciation for my community and the young men who played for me on the Maple Mountain High School. Although the situation that has developed has a lack of reasons, it is important for everyone to understand that our priority should always be the best interests of the children and above all. It is regrettable that not everyone can see the overall picture, but my experience with the parents and the incredible young men with whom I had the privilege of working with work were almost amazing. “

Utah is an employment state that means that an employee can be released for any reason or without reason, as long as it does not contradict the law.

On the Maple Mountain High School Football website, it is currently said that your Cheffussball coach TBA is.
