Wow. A coach that is considered a sleaze and has been suspected, with rumors, for years finally gets caught. It's not like he ever dated or married a player is it? I'm sure this guys kids still speak to him, right?
WHO'da THOUGHT !!!!! A dirty coach with a dirty reputation.....................
PREDATORS do not molest EVERY KID they come in contact with. I am so sick of the "well my little Merideth never had a problem" line. Similar to the "He never hurt my family" one.
WAKE UP
CA
Mike Burgmeier - very Bad softball coach
I think, that I shall try to do the utmost to be new today

from the outfit he worked at:
Why Parents and Athletes choose Boost Your Average?
BYA has hand picked the best coaching staff you can find. We proudly display their individual BIO's on our coaches page. We confidently place our reputation as your batting cage and community sports center in all of our coach's ability to train your son or daughter to become the best hitter, fielder, or pitcher they can possibly be. Our coaches also confidently place their own reputation on the line and are proud to see their students in their sport succeed beyond expectations.
ahh yeah, RIGHT

Just a thought. I can understand everyone "Hating" on this guy suspected of abuse. When we post, can we think about the children. Ask yourself(if you want) - Is what I'm posting good for the KIDS? What if we took all the energy that we have towards hating this guy and put half of it toward making this place better? Does anyone know if the teams he was associated with are ok? How bout posting a name number or photo of a good therapist or psychiatrist. you follow me? hope so. Dear Softball God, Please help us all get thru this. AMEN

Stories like this is why my daughters are never left alone with any coaches or anyone else. If I could get away with it I'd be sitting in the classroom with them. To all you folks who knew this had happened or could happen, you should have said something. I know when it comes to rumors nobody likes them but, in this case it may have saved a 13 yo girl from sex with a 40 year old man. If you're a coach don't put yourself in a positon for rumors to get started. Never allow yourself to be alone with a child. If you're a parent don't think that because you've known this coach for years and he's like a member or your family, that he'd ever harm your child. You common sense and your child will be protected.

I am in NO way letting this guy off the hook if what is reported is fact.. But this girls parents should hold a fair amount of the blame as well.
It's not like he snatched her from her bedroom at knife point.

There is an assigned detective. Pulled this from the local TO Acorn newspaper.
The police department is asking former and current athletes associated with or coached by Burgmeier to come forward if they were involved in inappropriate or sexual activity with him.
They can contact lead detective Casey Nicholson by calling the police station at (805) 583- 6950.

It has come to my attention that Boost Your Average is some how being brought into this whole mess as some kind of business that doesn’t take its role in our community serious. Nothing could be further from the truth. Also, I’m posting this as a real person not a nameless faceless forum troll. Walk into BYA anytime to see and talk to me about what kind of place I have built for the girls and boys of our community. The charity, fundraising and other philanthropic activities we help with on almost a daily basis. We take what we do very seriously.
The Coaches that work here are all background checked prior to being allowed to work out of our coaching lanes just as the school district did prior to Mike Burgmeier being allowed to coach at Simi Valley High School. ASA also background checks the coaches that are allowed to coach in their tournaments. I’m sure there were a few more checks I’m missing here but the point is he was checked out to the best of my ability as well as a lot of other entities. Some things just can’t be foreseen.
If anyone would have asked me if the coach that my daughter has played for during the last 2 ½ years would be charged with such a terrible crime I would have laughed at them and said “Who Mike??? Are you crazy???” You would have probably heard the same thing from just about all the other Moms, Dads, Attorneys, Doctors, Police Officers etc. whose daughters have also been coached by Mike Burgmeier.
That being said, if the charges are true then our family’s whole heart goes out to the child that this has happened to in hopes she is able to move on with her life in a positive, happy and productive way. Mike will be punished in a way none of us can imagine. Child predators don’t do well in prison.
If it turns out to not be true then I’m not sure how anyone could resurrect their former life after something like this. I hope he can but it just doesn’t seem possible. He is going to suffer either way it goes….

Nobody with a brain blames your organization for anything.
There is no charge for awesomeness
