And the extra training is just an extension of his practices, honestly. It's called "small group" training but it can be 10+ kids in a session and he charges different amounts to different kids lol. It's honestly insane.

Ever think he was trying to improve the team without the distraction of players who weren’t as capable or serious? Charging for the sessions is necessary otherwise he’d have to include everyone, defeating the purpose, and charging different amounts makes it possible for less affluent kids to join. No one is doing it for free, as we all need to make a living. It’s easy to throw stones based on the $, but I bet what really makes parents upset is that their kid wasn’t invited.

\

He's being paid what? 15,000 or so from GFR to coach each team? He's not working for free. Pay to play private lessons on the side are not allowed by most clubs for a reason. Its hugely divisive.

He's being paid more than that per team. His salary is public and it was over $100k last year, making more than the TD and almost as much as the ED!

Yes, it's hugely divisive - ask anyone who has played for him for more than a season. The last thing girls that age need is more divisiveness.....

Unless you’re on the right side of that line. Welcome to real life.

\

Why would anyone want their daughter involved in a team run in such a manner by someone who sounds like a grasping, greedy nasty bully?

PP said a bunch of the 2011s will follow him to VRSC. Must be a terrible coach.

I believe she said a few of them will follow him.
But that makes no sense either. Is there space on the existing roster at VRSC to add multiple new players? The VRSC top teams usually have full rosters already.
If I was a VRSC parent, I would want more information from the club on what is going on with an abrupt coach change mid season.

I think the 2011's at VRSC are not that great so maybe they want some of the GFR players.

The first teams at VRSC all carry the max number of players per roster. THat's how they fill the teams. Then they fill the second team. and so one. There's not room for extra players.

Not true. 2013 only has 17.

At VRSC? Then they have one open spot on their team. You can only have 18 at the games. And I'm sure there will be unhappy second team parents if a new coach shows up mid year for the first team dragging along a few favorite players instead of moving up a second team player.

NVA has teams with well over 18 players, they just roster a different 18 for each game. Players don’t just need to earn playing time each week, they need to earn a roster spot each week.

Yeah but VRSC are lower level teams than NVA. Parents don't expect "competing" to attend at game at the GA/RL levels

NVA is GA. NVA (and SYC) are Rev’s top competition for the second champions league spot next year. Parents’ expectations better change.

VRSC is the top club in the mid atlantic south. NVA is struggling to win games! There might be an exception or 2 but VRSC currently has a stronger GA program.

2 age groups NVA is higher in the standings. VRSC only has 1 team not in the top 5.

U13 - VRSC 1st place, NVA 2nd place
U14 - VRSC 4th, NVA 2nd
U15 - VRSC 7th, NVA 9th
U16 VRSC 5th, NVA 10th
U17 VRS 1st, NVA 10th

This does not back up your original statement that VRSC is the top club in the MA South. Also, IYKYK some of these teams will be much much weaker next year. But you must not know that yet...

The first teams at VRSC all carry the max number of players per roster. THat's how they fill the teams. Then they fill the second team. and so one. There's not room for extra players.

Not true. 2013 only has 17.

At VRSC? Then they have one open spot on their team. You can only have 18 at the games. And I'm sure there will be unhappy second team parents if a new coach shows up mid year for the first team dragging along a few favorite players instead of moving up a second team player.

NVA has teams with well over 18 players, they just roster a different 18 for each game. Players don’t just need to earn playing time each week, they need to earn a roster spot each week.

Yeah but VRSC are lower level teams than NVA. Parents don't expect "competing" to attend at game at the GA/RL levels

VRSA and NVA are both GA and VRSC teams are better than NVA across the board!

Not a true statement

VRSC is the top club in the mid atlantic south. NVA is struggling to win games! There might be an exception or 2 but VRSC currently has a stronger GA program.

That’s some strong stuff you’ve been smokin’

Eh, they're right.

2 age groups NVA is higher in the standings. VRSC only has 1 team not in the top 5.

U13 - VRSC 1st place, NVA 2nd place
U14 - VRSC 4th, NVA 2nd
U15 - VRSC 7th, NVA 9th
U16 VRSC 5th, NVA 10th
U17 VRS 1st, NVA 10th
U18 - VRSC 5th, NVA 1st

This does not back up your original statement that VRSC is the top club in the MA South. Also, IYKYK some of these teams will be much much weaker next year. But you must not know that yet...

They were selected for the champions cup from the MA South.

If GFR won’t let their coaches train their players on the side, then it’s hard for me to imagine they’d be ok with NE’s extracurricular activities!

What does he do?

He sleeps with mom's.

And the extra training is just an extension of his practices, honestly. It's called "small group" training but it can be 10+ kids in a session and he charges different amounts to different kids lol. It's honestly insane.

Ever think he was trying to improve the team without the distraction of players who weren’t as capable or serious? Charging for the sessions is necessary otherwise he’d have to include everyone, defeating the purpose, and charging different amounts makes it possible for less affluent kids to join. No one is doing it for free, as we all need to make a living. It’s easy to throw stones based on the $, but I bet what really makes parents upset is that their kid wasn’t invited.

He's being paid what? 15,000 or so from GFR to coach each team? He's not working for free. Pay to play private lessons on the side are not allowed by most clubs for a reason. Its hugely divisive.

He's being paid more than that per team. His salary is public and it was over $100k last year, making more than the TD and almost as much as the ED!

Yes, it's hugely divisive - ask anyone who has played for him for more than a season. The last thing girls that age need is more divisiveness.....

Unless you’re on the right side of that line. Welcome to real life.

Why would anyone want their daughter involved in a team run in such a manner by someone who sounds like a grasping, greedy nasty bully?

PP said a bunch of the 2011s will follow him to VRSC. Must be a terrible coach.

I believe she said a few of them will follow him.
But that makes no sense either. Is there space on the existing roster at VRSC to add multiple new players? The VRSC top teams usually have full rosters already.
If I was a VRSC parent, I would want more information from the club on what is going on with an abrupt coach change mid season.

I think the 2011's at VRSC are not that great so maybe they want some of the GFR players.

I guess someone had to get it due to the realignment but you keep pushing the narrative that it was “earned”.
