An Academy for Technology and the Classics soccer coach has been suspended for the remainder of the season because of a video the school says violated policy.<\/p>\n
SANTA FE, N.M. \u2013 A girls soccer team in Santa Fe is having to finish out their season without their head coach. <\/p>\n
The Academy for Technology and the Classics made the decision to put coach Vilma Ontiveros on administrative leave after the team posted a video<\/a> to their social media. <\/p>\n \u201cI asked why, and the athletic director\u2019s only reasoning behind the administrative leave was because I had violated the coaching contract in the social media aspect that was demeaning,\u201d Ontiveros told KOB 4.<\/p>\n Ontiveros says her team makes social media videos all season with the intention of creating a positive environment.<\/p>\n The video shows players participating in a trend where they pull positions form a hat. Ontiveros says there\u2019s no ill will behind it.<\/p>\n \u201cI found a way to incorporate having fun going in with those endorphins and happy hormones and going into a game with that positivity. That\u2019s why we incorporated this,\u201d Ontiveros said.<\/p>\n Parents and players tell KOB 4 they are not happy about the decision.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re all receiving calls from our children around lunchtime, you know, crying, and that is very frustrating and concerning,\u201d said Martha C\u2019deBaca, whose daughter is on the team.<\/p>\n Parents are calling on the school to bring their coach back. <\/p>\n \u201cThey got rid of our coach for no reason. We want her to finish out the season,\u201d said Darlene Roybal, another parent.<\/p>\n The school\u2019s athletic director responded to KOB 4 with the following statement: <\/p>\n \u201cWe placed our coach on paid administrative leave for the remainder of the season following several instances of not adhering to coaching policies and expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor Related Stories:\u00a0Jacqlin Aragon<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
