Alexandria on way down?

[Anonymous]

Any intel on the boy's side of the club?

[Anonymous]

Why? What’s going on?

I don't think there is anything to report here. All the Alexandria Boy's 1st teams are doing quite well, except the 2010 group, and they are doing fine. From 2014 to 2008 age groups, they are mostly ranked in the top 10 in the state.

Boys side is roster is way over the limit , they have been adding kids to roster after the season started. Resulting in the kids sitting out for game day . Its is very sad to see kids in bench though on first team .

This is not the Olympics. No one signs their child up to a sports team so they can warm the bench.

Rankings don’t matter. Poor barometer of development.

1) Move down to 2nd team.
2) practice with 1st team and play with 2nd team
3) Get permission to guest with another club to get playing time

EVERY club is willing to take on additional players and move others down. This is not unique to Alexandria.

Your kids situation is emblematic of your parenting style. You think there is a problem with an entire boys side of the club because they don’t feel your son is good enough to play. Don’t go a moment and think I am above this situation and that my son has not been in the same position. This is their moment to put up or shut up and it is on your child to decide how they want to respond.

Everybody wants to be 1st team until it is time to do what 1st team players do.

You want to be in MLS Next, the highest level of play in the nation

You can choose a team on a lower level where your kid can play more on game day

This is the same everywhere. Clubs take on lots of kids. Some kids don’t get to play as much. Stinks. Your choice is to have your kid work harder or leave.

Oh, you're talking development...I'm confused, because the title of this thread is "Alexandria on the way down?" I was talking about rankings wins and losses. You know, the things that matter when talking about if a team & Club is up or down.

HAsn't Alexandria always been the bottom of the barrel for coaching?

[Anonymous]

I think all the MLS Next teams in the area create their gameday rosters weekly. It isn't unique to Alexandria.

The 2012 team has 24 rostered on their team. The coach plays his fav. and the DCU kids while giving the other players very few mins.
