And yes, while 10-year olds shouldn't have a phone, we live in the DMV and everyone here does. Right or wrong, it is what it is in this area.

Nonsense. My kids don't get phones until they start 9th grade. When they were 10, none of their friends had phones.

They all do - come to a 2013 practice.

But keep distracting from the real point that Adam created another vacuum he can’t fill.

2015s - gone
2014s - gone
2013s - now gone
2012s - now gone
2009s - majority gone to VRSC
2008s - gone to VRSC

I hope Tony recruits enough Loudoun kids at their tryouts for 6 teams.

I agree, no phone til 9th.... but about 4-5 girls out of 20 have phones out at practice on our 2 current U11 teams. I know because its brought up by my daughter constantly.

How about we all agree that it's kinda silly for 10 year olds to have iPhones and instead focus on the absurdity of AB and STJ decision-making through all this turmoil?

Usually if a coach takes another position they run the risk of being let go. Clubs build into their contracts that the coach can only be contracted to one club. You take another job at another club, even if it is for next season, and you will likely be let go because the tendencies for coaches to recruit players away is too great. This isn't a soccer thing, but a business thing.

Okay Adam, but now you just lost all of them instead of some.

These are 10 and 11 year olds. The business plan of yanking a coach then having absolutely 0 plan to coach two tournaments and four weeks of NCSL is so unbelievably stupid I can’t believe people like this make over $15 an hour.

Adam was literally walking around asking names and positions.

Having a watch is not the same thing as having a phone. You can’t do YouTube or social media on the watch. You can text/call and parents can control who is in the contacts list. It’s actually a good way to delay the need for a phone. You could just get a “dumb phone”, but I know my kid is more likely to lose that than something that is on their wrist.

And you can always see exactly where they are. No kid wants a watch for gaming or social purposes, but it’s awesome for busy parents with busy kids, including kids in today’s crazy travel sports.
