They are a good regional club and as with most clubs you will find positive/negatives. They are a result of CYA and SYA merging a few years ago. If you live in the Chantilly, Centreville, Fairfax, or Dulles (Loudoun) area this is a good medium size club. They do feed into NVA with Loudoun so there is a pathway to national league for the younger kids. Older kids, NVA teams are mostly established so they may add 1-2 players a season. |
Does every club have a token angry Scottish coach? |
Its a huge club, not medium sized, what crack are you smoking? They have age groups with 5 teams. Teams 3-Teams 5 are just money grabs. Those kids should be playing rec. |
Nonsense. The NVA teams are almost entirely Loudoun players. That is just a marketing scam Valor set up. |
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |
Same, the price difference was around $1000, we stuck with Burke. |
I heard he quit but never heard why. But having had a kid who was there for 1 year, I can easily imagine why… |
Saw one of their black teams playing (which is the third level they have, and I guess they have even lower teams?)-they looked less skilled than my daughter's old rec team. How do they have even lower teams than that and who pays for that? |
I bet some the NVA teams don't even have 1 Valor player on them. |
This is par for the course at every club around. Go watch any clubs 3rd team or lower and you'll see it's typically the case. Arlington fields 4-5+ 'travel teams' per age. |
The Arlington/Alexandria 5th teams are usually better than the Valor 3rd teams at least in our child's age group. |
I'm suspicious when these soccer guys bounce around so much and leave places so quickly. |
Chili today!
Hot tamale! |
Yes, one bad fit and quick move is normal. Over and over again = the problem is you. |
This can be said about players and families that bounce around, too. |
