| This is one of the main problems w/ youth soccer. You have a non-profit led by a board of people who know nothing making decisions that implode clubs. GFR will become as irrelevant as Herndon has become. |

| Could someone please provide a coherent description of what is going on? And which club is worse for a 2015 girl? GFR or Valor. |

| the executive director, the technical director and a few coaches were terminated by 3 board members who have now named themselves interim directors of the club. none of them have any experience running a soccer club, certainly not as much as RS or NM do!!! RS and NM also coached several of their RL teams so those teams will all have to get new coaches. |

Those clubs aren't even near each other so how are they your only two choices? |

But what did all these people do to get fired |

| you'd have to ask the 3 board members who fired them. it was not explained to the club employees or members. |

Not saying anything just allows crazy runors to spread. Dumb. |

Because there are people on this forum who are obsessed with valor bashing and bringing it into every forum. A lot of these people have left years ago but can't stop looking over their shoulder for whatever reason. |

| This is almost identical to the email sent to parents. I’d really like more information if more people were let go than just RS. This is causing a lot of anxiety with all the uncertainty. |

| I can confirm with certainty that NM and other coaches were let go. There was another email sent to parents of players on those teams with an extra paragraph about those coaches. I only have a screen shot of that though. It says they terminated the LLC contract which is the contract NM and his coaches that were from DMV had with GFR. |

You think someone is fake asking for opinions on valor vs gfr just to reply to themselves about valor sucking? That seems a bit crazy. |

| The line about financial oversight is a real tease. |

| i think they just didn't like that NM made a good salary but since he's probably the coach with the most impressive resume in this area i'd think he'd be one of the highest paid. |
