I would be pissed if I was paying $3000 for my kid to have zero competition

Seems counterproductive for player development. Not much can be gained if there isn't some challenge or struggle within the league or division. Best to find another club or discuss it with the lead coach to get some traction or even move on.

Its one season of u-little soccer in one slightly off division. Seriously, no big deal. They should be getting challenged in tournaments.

IMO, 9 months of development (one season) is a BIG deal.

Soccers players reach there prime, what around 25-30 years old?

-Kids start they're training around 4-5 years of age and continue those basic fundamentals until they are 17-18yrs.

-9 months of training account for 7 percent of there development before they reach 18 years old. One bad season or coach can be crucial in that development.

-Think about your personal time if you no longer had 7 percent of that anymore.bWhat would that look like?

When you say not a big deal, time and money is important, especially if it turns into sunk costs $$$ into a service or club thats not delivering.

That's so incredibly stupid. You are talking about playing 8 games one division lower than ideal in a local low level travel league.

Thanks for fact that its a lower level travel league. I’m sure they appreciate that.

NCSL division 5 is the definition of a lower level travel league.

you could even argue that the boost in confidence far outweighs any negligible difference in development.

Man, if they are crushing, they should have been moved up. Curious what the rationale is or how they determined the placement. Must have got it wrong or maybe they just wanted to win games.

They moved up. Word is Al is fighting for tougher competition in the upcoming season. Their 2nd team could beat 1st probably (sadly)

. No not really.. big difference in talent between teams. Core 11 girls are good. Big difference between Pre ECNL and Div 5 NCSL.

A couple years ago our son had offers from four different MLS Next and ECNL teams. He went to the Valor tryout simply because he wanted extra touches that weekend. The coach approaches afterward and said he thought he was a second team player at Valor. Fast forward a few months and we scrimmaged their top team.. score was 12-0. The Valor top team only saw their offensive side of the field three times in over an hour. I really feel sorry for anyone who is wasting their money at this club.

Age Group?

Valor has a team playing in the state Cup final tomorrow. It’s only one age group, but they do have the best team in the state.

You do realize that the ECNL and MLS Next teams forgo the State Cup, right? As do top teams at many other clubs.

True. Any team at a certain age group can enter, right?

They just cycle the kids up and create as many teams as possible until they can’t fill a roster. Its laughable.

Agree, Pre-Ecnl Ive seen in the upper divisions 1-4. Anything, lower normally 3rd thru 5th teams. Good luck to the new parents.
