ASA Director $382k A Year

Thankfully my kids have all aged out of ASA, but as recently as 2 years ago, during one of these day of giving things, I saw the messages be crammed down our teams throats and saw these parents all donate. These are families where their kids have missed practice bc they didn’t have money for gas certain weeks. It’s disgusting to push for donations and receive discounts and grants from the city when a lot is being used to overpay the director.
Someone previously asked if he was worth it? I can’t say anything he does seems superior to what other local club directors do. The ASA tournaments are generally more of a disaster and poorly done than others.

How does any club force you to donate?

Which club in the dmv has top coaches and what's a top coach?

Well if I have to explain it to you..... If you have been in the club, you know that I am saying exactly.

I'm waiting for the answer too

Let’s say you have coaches with the experience and credentials to coach at the MLS NEXT level, for example. Look at the coaches they’ve had in those positions over the last four years. If you’ve been part of the club, you’re fully aware of the mess this has created. Meanwhile, the ED gets paid top dollar while families are receiving a subpar product.

What are the required by MLS and US Soccer coaching credentials to be a MLS Next coach?

Classic ASA keyboard warrior move — deflect instead of address. Let me help you out since facts seem hard to come by.

Now list all the MLS Next coaches in the dmv and their credentials

Then state how the income of the Director impacts your income

This may be why they are pulling a BSC and loading up rosters with 20+ girls and not warning families. Someone has to pay that salary…

Very much so on the girls side, starting next year on the GA teams. Because they can. But nobody was forewarned so they signed their girls up not knowing they may not play. Major buyers remorse.

How much do parents pay to join one of these 20+ teams?

Yes and overpaid municipal employees. All good on that front.

Those city workers are comfortable living on their Lilly pads

ASA keyboard warrior... keeps deflecting. Yes, TD's high salary led to poor coaching for paying customers, which is how this affects us.

Funny how ASA talks big, yet not a single ASA team is making playoffs. And no, nobody’s leaving for those GA teams either. Sorry

Interesting that there are new girls from other GA and RL teams on our roster next year.

It might be those who want to play in an NAL league or those who were not getting playing time. Other than that, I see all those teams at the bottom. Perhaps TSJ 2.0? Time will tell. ASA eyboard warrior, you just sold yourself again...

This is really just common sense. The problem is that inexperienced young trainers are being hired while the TD and other staff members continue getting paid top dollar, and many of these trainers do not even meet or comply with the stated requirements and credentials expected for these roles. Parents have formally raised these concerns, yet the issue keeps getting minimized. This has become a major topic and a sideline conversation among parents at instead of being addressed directly.

Deflecting… just like you’re doing here. Thanks, ASA keyboard warrior — you showed yourself again.

Unsure of their reasons for moving. Just pointing out some did.

Agree time will tell if they are TSJ 2.0 or taking steps forward every year.
