Does anyone know anything about the new coach for the RL 2011 G team. Did he come from somewhere else? Worked with girls prior? I know tryouts are next week and since we have moved into the area looking at Valor RL team as an option.

if that's the case you might want to consider rec

If PP is talking about the 2013 birth year, that’s a strong age group. First and second teams are both good. I think there’s a drop off when you get to the third team.

the 2013 team age group is strong? The gold team doesn't even have a coach that shows up. Al is great but DS is a deadbeat coach. The gold team has had zero to no guidance at all.
is your kid on gold or white? i doubt they will have 3 teams this coming year as many of the players are bailing for teams with better coaches.

that poster was talking about *boys*. The boys age group had 4 teams this year and has 4 coaches hired for next year.
the 2013 girls only have two coaches for next year and are missing a coach.

If your kid really loves soccer i would highly urge you to look elsewhere. Development at this club suck. This is specifically true for the girls side. If you are looking for an expensive rec league atmosphere then this is the club for you.

If thats your kids team, shop around elsewhere. Tryouts have begun for most age groups and they haven't hired coaches. What they are saying is they don't care about these particular teams. These are disposable, weak teams and if they everntually find a coach, it will be someone not good/ qualified. i bet if you checked these teams would all lose all or most of their games.

+1. If there's no hired coach by now--when tryouts have already started-- the club either 1) doesn't expect there to be a team in that age level or 2) doesn't care about that age/level enough to hire someone in advance. Both 1) and 2) are bad news for your kid. Go elsewhere. I mean seriously do they expect people to pay them 3000 with zero info on who will be coaching.

2013 girls won't have a third team. They are just putting that on social media to look as if they had enough interest

How many were at the tryouts?

Do you think all the teams with "TBD" listed as coach are teams they won't have enough players for?

It looks like that age group only has two teams this year. So would not expect there to be a third team this year.

Anyone in an age group where there is a coming soon coach… look at how many teams are in that age group this year. The odds of adding a team, especially at older age groups, is slim to none. From U11 on, white is third team and silver is fourth next year. Just do rec if your kid can only make one of those teams. Whatever experience you will get is not worth the money.

I'm surprised they don't have enough girls for a second 2008 team or boys for a third 2011 team.

from u11 on, it goes ecnl-rl, gold, white, black, silver. So black is fourth.

I can't imagine how slim the pickins are to hire more coaches after everywhere else has already hired for next year. its college kids or dad rec coaches left to hire,and you are paying the same price as kids on the teams with the experienced headliner coaches.
