| I saw the TSJ Announcement of a new GA Director. Anyone know what happened to KT? |
Bringing in a higher profile name. |
| who is it? i don't see an update on the website, still has KT |
Check their socials. They posted an announcement today. Their website is not up to date as they still have the other KT up there, the former director of rec/grassroots. |
| Isn’t this the 4th GA director in the last 3 years? What a clown show. I’m sure this time, though, will be different. |

Welp that makes me happier to stay at ARL. Should have known when he was running that fake 3 v 3 tournament a couple weeks ago. Perfect place to double dip on his training business while coaching |
| I think this is a step in the right direction for TSJ. Best of luck to Justin. I think he will affect change in a positive manner. We are not with the club but do some training with them from time to time and I think this a is a good move. |
| Is anyone planning to look at St James with this news? Honest question. I know they were struggling. |
They don’t really have a cohesive facility plan. Are they a loudoun club or a Springfield club? Mason fields? |
With how quickly they change coaches and schedules? |
I think you already know the answer to your question. AB working overtime today… |
We are not on the girls side. However, whoever lands SM on the boys side anywhere near our age group will have our attention. That is how quickly things can change if management understands how important quality coaching is to the equation. |
| There are rumors that their girls' team will drop down to Aspire. I doubt he would come if that were the case. Does anyone know when we will find out where the teams will be sitting next season? |
I don't know who SM is but Im also on the boys side and keeping my eyes on TSJ as are multiple team members of my sons. They performed pretty well in some age groups in MLS 2 and kids are curious. I think tryouts for them will be crowded. |
