Garland’s children were harmed by s*xual predator Bernardo Mondragon-Guzman. Has Garland Soccer made changes as they promised they would do in the media?

A director married to a registered for life, level 2 s*x offender with a child victim was letting him handle rosters and other records. This director did not drive and this offender accompanied her everywhere. The president insisted on keeping her on the board knowing the s*x offender would be around at every soccer activity possibly putting our children in danger.

This same director and her husband were bragging that they would be meeting the association president, David Arciniega, to discuss construction work for GSA when no open bidding was in progress.

$8,000.00 of “missing funds” has no proper documentation as the board is routinely denied documentation.

Garland Soccer Association president, David Arciniega, lied to the GSA member coaches about those “missing funds” claiming there was ongoing litigation between the software provider, Jevin and the payment processor, Corduro. 2 years later no litigation is on record anywhere.

A former Coach and director were brought up on phony charges when the player pool placed children of the correct age with their coaching parents. Why would children be placed on teams competing against their parents’ teams?

The president, David Arciniega, runs this organization like a dictatorship and flouts the GSA, North Texas State and US Youth Soccer by-laws.

State law concerning fiduciary duties is not being followed.

Elections in Garland Soccer have been rigged for years.

Arciniega filed a No Confidence Petition in an attempt to remove a director who spoke on behalf of a candidate running against him. Members are afraid to vote their conscience.

The number of players and coaches are dropping as folks leave unhappy with their experience in Garland Soccer.

Garland Soccer has lost almost all of its interleague play with neighboring associations. Richardson, Wylie and Chamber Classic have left Garland Soccer. Plano Soccer will not invite us to join them all. The U13 and up depend on interleague to have enough teams to play in their correct age groups.

The coaches are shut down at meetings and their voices are not heard.

The Garland Soccer Association is operated in a shroud of secrecy even though it is in fact a 501 c 3 charity and should be completely transparent.

Members of the association and the public have not been welcomed to the board meetings.

Board meeting agendas, board meeting minutes and board member reports are kept secret.

This organization has coaches in fear of retaliation if they speak out. It is a hostile and unwelcoming environment.
