NOVA AAU TEAMS (Nova94, Fairfax Stars, NovaCavaliers

[Anonymous]

Well at least there's a consensus that any sane family would avoid the Nova Cavs 11U team or any team coached by that guy. Its good to have solid intel if my kid wants to try out for spring basketball in the future.

I would love estimates on a fair rate for a private or small group basketball trainer if anyone has done that.

Sat Feb 26th at 11:30 at Liberty MS. Vienna/Nova Cavs coach is the 4 seed vs. the 5 seed team.

If he's such a great coach, I wonder why he's coaching the Vienna D2 team instead of their better D1 team.........

I went to watch it and was so impressed with the other team’s commitment to play all ten of their players. I’m not sure I saw him make more than one substitution. He won by 2 points though. The other team had a couple of good little players but they all played and subbed out for some time. This is what’s right when you are impacting the confidence of 10 year olds. Kudos to a good game played by all.

This is travel basketball, not rec. Usually, there will be 8 or 9 players on rotation with the close game they had. The Nova coach played at least 10 players today with 2 Dnp.

2 DNPs in a FCYBL game? Didn’t the coach pick the players? Unless it’s for some weird disciplinary reason, that’s a bad look. Feel bad for the kids if this is accurate.

This. FCBYL is supposed to be travel light. Every kid on a roster should play, if they aren't good enough to play, then they aren't good enough to roster. This isn't the finals of some national tournament where the coach shortening the bench is understandable, this is 5th grade local ball.

That’s why I wouldn’t put my child on a team if he’s not top 6-7 player. Fcybl or not , most coaches wants to win so it’s tough if your child is not part of the rotation.

Right. That’s why it’s honestly better in fcybl to be one of the best players on a D2 or D3 team then player 7-11 on a D1 team.

FCBLY is the soccer equivalent of the suburban friendship league with the only difference being that a bunch of the players also play high level travel too.

No but it is playoff time in what's supposed to be a very competitive basketball league. While I think playing time should be given out reasonably during the regular season, I think it's perfectly acceptable come playoff time for teams to try to win. Players are told they are joining a competitive team/league so it's to be somewhat expected. Not to mention if player hasn't been putting in time/effort of other players during the season. Playoffs to me seem like right time to play to win and play the kids that have earned the minutes.

[Anonymous]

But your point is moot b/c that particular coach has been not playing kids all season long, even in blowouts. And there is no way a good coach can't get every kid a few minutes of play time, even in a competitive game. Come on, that's ridic.

I'm sorry your kid is really wrapped up in county. The level of play is nowhere near the top AAU teams
