Riverbend Football Club? Who left? |
No one's quitting their paying jobs mid-year for a TBD club! |
some gfr coaches did! |
|
if the said TBD club offers you a contract why wouldn't you? You act like these coaches are leaving Barcelona or Ajax academy. It's GFR and Herndon.
Same job, more money...byeeee |
| Its risky. The money to pay the coaches comes from the players fees. The new club doesn't have any players. |
It has a couple rich dudes running it though. I assume they are putting some cash into the start up but long term this club will probably be a huge bust. |
I agree with you on the putting the money forward. It'll depend who they link this club with. They won't stand alone, I'm sure there's a big club that will support them and they'll play under that club's colors. |
Then what's the point or starting a new club? |
Hate where you currently are so you decide to make your own thing but then you realize that starting a club in this area and competing with HYS, GFR, Loudoun, McLean, Valor and everyone else. I don't see any other way how this "club" survives at all standing alone. Sterling is playing under HYS for girls and West VA for boys. Loudoun has Loudoun East. FCV/St. James has their North and South. Maybe Riverbend will be an extension of another club while still keeping their Phoenix. |
Well, if they were smart they'd work with GFR and allow these kids and coaches to stay in an environment that is changing for the better across the board (pun intended) |

At Herndon, these boy team coaches all left after the fall season:
2008 ECNL-RL (first coach quit in late spring a month after tryouts, then second coach left, HYS told parents not hiring another coach) 2010 ECNL-RL 2011 ECNL-RL 2013 ECNL-RL 2014 pre-ECNL So almost all of their boys 1st teams lost their coaches. A coach who had the 2nd 2010/2013 team also left. |
Is there a reason for this? |
If true, this is absolutely nuts |
| are they still charging parents for the team with no winter/spring coach? that's bizarre. |
It is true. |
