Makes me wonder if they'll have better success keeping this age group together for GA.

What was so unstable about the coaching situation this year or last year?

Ummmmm... losing DB last year (who pretty much developed the uLittles girls side) and losing your TD this year to The Onion.

That is a funny way to spell “recruited”.

Huh? Not talking about recruiting, we're talking about coaching stability. Try and keep up with the conversation.

LOL previous poster was stating that DB didn't develop, he supposedly recruited. Keep Up. LOL

Ohhh, he recruited those highly sought after 8 year olds that were in the transfer portal? Got it!

LOL, the PP is a low IQ individual. Trying to imply that db stole all his players. McLean players are almost exclusively homegrown. Period! End of story! Go home and cry now.

What you get with homegrown McLean is a sub par player who lacks the basics( can’t dribble cones) As good as mid RL team.

That's bad news for the 2013 FVU Girls squad, since it is made up entirely of MYS players.

But, but, but they are not part of the wonderful alliance we created! How could they get so many girls in? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

2013? Who is looking at 2013 now? A lot of changes happen at puberty when kick , push run does not cut it anymore. Don’t get too excited at the U little because soccer is not about the strongest kid and talked kid rules.

Kick, push, run? At McLean? Maybe YOUR club does (whichever lame Onion alliance team you belong to). Project much?

Push, kick, run is 100% Loudoun Soccer

It’s all of Nova soccer. When two good teams play each other, it devolves into this.

No, they haven’t. Some left. Some were cut. A whole lot stayed. Same thing will happen next year when kids sit on the bench, get limited playing time, mommies and daddies get upset, mommies and daddies get tired of traveling to/from their new club… then they will leave that club… and go after what they think is the next best thing, again… it’s a cycle. It doesn’t matter what league or club your kid is playing in. It matters how good your kid is, how much they love the sport, how well they fit on a team, are they coachable. It matters how they feel, and how they perform. What doesn’t matter is the club, the league, entitlement, or parent’s feelings. If you’re kid has what it takes and consistently performs well while doing something they enjoy there is no reason to keep chasing the cycle that is the ever changing environment of youth soccer. Sometimes, change is good for certain kids. Most of the time, it’s not a change to better the kid, but rather to make the parent happy and feel better about themselves. Parents are the problem with youth soccer in the US. Oblivion and entitlement. Simply browse through the thousands of pages on this forum for every club and you will see. The unhappy, entitled mommies and daddies who think their kid is going to be the next superstar pro soccer player, but plays 30 subpar minutes every game. Good luck to all the kids who earn their place on the field next season. Good luck to the parents who think they made the right decision for their child. Godspeed to the coaches for having to put up with youth soccer parents.

I let my child make her own decisions based on what coach she wants to play for, what league she wants to play in, and how much she likes the team (how nice and accepting they are, how hard they work, etc). My child is a young adult with thoughts and preferences. And I accept those even if it means an inconveniences for me. There are plenty of skilled, hard working, intelligent, and thoughtful girls making their own decisions, to determine what is right for them. Stay or leave. Sometimes that means leaving when the adults running a club make decisions for them that are not aligned with what they want.

Take a breath. Reevaluate. Just because a kid decides to leave a club does not mean they are not skilled or their parents are making a decision for them. Accept that the child made an informed decision about what was best for them. The clubs aren’t looking out for their interests, so they why should they stick with a club that doesn’t? Just to soothe your ego? Grow up and stop blaming everyone else for your decision to stay. Be happy with your decision and let everyone else be happy with theirs.

Exactly. Clubs aren’t looking out for their best interests so go to a club who’s not looking out for their best interests. Make it make sense. They all work the same way. Been doing this a long time. The only differences are the people (parents, players, coaches). So many talented kids with parents moving clubs every year because of “something”. The politics, reasoning, and excuses. No one is ever happy. Eventually, the kids will end up back at a club they were once a part of and pretend like they never left. It’s already happening and the new season hasn’t even started.

I’m a grown adult, thanks. My kid doesn’t represent a single club in this area. There is no blame to place on anyone for any decision to stay. However, you sound defensive as though you’re unsure of your decision- I mean your young adult child’s informed decision to leave. Hopefully your child will thrive and be happy in their new environment with the same club interests as the rest of the clubs in this area.

Again. The fault in your logic is that you assume it is the parents making the decision. That may be true for the ULittles, but not so for the young adults. They are capable of seeing for themselves that what was once a good situation has changed, and not for their benefit. Why are you so mad at young adults making their own decisions to play for clubs that aren’t making decisions to help the boys side at the expense of the girls, making decisions that do not align with their interests to seemingly help the club but not the individuals. Stop hating. The whole situation is adults making decisions for the whole club that may hurt the girls side, over and over, and the kids deciding to go somewhere where those decisions haven’t been made, yet. They may in the future, it seems apparent that it is inevitable that the girls will always get hosed to help the boys. But why not let them decide to choose a club that has not YET tried to hose them. Seems like a logical choice. Unless you just don’t care about how the girls are being effected, or you don’t support girls trying to make the best decisions for themselves.

Has anyone got offers from McLean’s girls teams after tryouts this week? How long do they typically take?

[Anonymous]

MYS claims that due to higher than expected, they are running additional sessions for certain Ulittle cohorts next week, so it may be a bit.

Not an LS or MYS parent. Came here to find out tryout/result info.

LS is indeed push, kick, run. But as someone else mentioned, it is common in several clubs. Not MYS. my kids played mys and personally saw that mys kids are using fundamentals. Which is why my kids went to mys tryouts.

LS’ biggest problem isn’t even their kids or the way they play. It’s their parents. Obnoxious and arrogant

+10 on Loudon Soccer's obnoxious and arrogant parents.
