1) how the training/coaching for 2014 boys (U13) BLACK team is compared to ODFC and Sterling soccer teams? Are parents generally satisifed with the standard and quality of coaching at VA Revolution?

2) Are there any hidden dues besides the fees that came out in the offer? I understand jerseys/uniform costs are separate, and travel/hotel costs can add up, but want to understand if there are any other separate club or team dues

3) The offer says that we need to sign up in 48hrs. Do they extend it by 4 more days (I want to get through one more tryout before making the decision)? I have reached out asking them these questions, and waiting to hear back. Intersted in learning about other people's experiences.

Thanks!



1) not sure you can compare ODFC with VRSC. ODFC has like 5 teams. Sterling soccer not sure on
2) The offer letter should have covered everything for dues.
3) Most clubs will give you extra time.

Don’t listen to all the posts here. Overall VRSC is very well liked by parents. Communication is great. Fields are great. Coaches are good. Coaches leaving is normal at all clubs.


Delusional. Guys I think this is KS. He probably created this thread so Rev can monitor what people say lol.

Sure. You really think he is monitoring this board. Shocker that overall parents are happy at VRSC. I am guessing if they are considering ODFC then they are coming from Dulles South area - Aldie, S. Riding, etc. Choices are for local clubs -ODFC, PSA, Valor, Loudoun, and Rev. The benefit of larger clubs are you have backup coaches and players along with better fields. Loudoun and Rev are the best choices on this list. ODFC and PSA are very small. Valor has its own issues. Overall parents are happy at Rev. You know what tournaments are going to be included in August so plenty of time to plan. Coaches are overall good.

It’s either CC or KH. Look how quickly they responded directly to that comment about management.
Record speed…Post at like 9:42 and record direct response at 9:55.
Anonymous
Instead of interviewing and hiring quality coaches so they can release all the coaching slates KH is doing damage control.
Prove otherwise where all the coaching slates? Can you point to it? Hopefully you release them by the end of the Spring season? Where is your recurring communication you promise? Facts uncover grifters…..Like that other guy said karma is going to get this club hard soon!

What do you mean by this? Retaliating how? Who would you ask if not on this board? My daughter doesn't play on Revolution, but I'd like to know this information without having connections to families in the club.

Maybe I am bias. However, I can’t take this club seriously anymore. I found out the president biography on their official website doesn’t not add up.

Most of it is fabricated, dishonest, exaggerated, and untrue.

More people know the truth than he thinks, as wel. People greet him and talk to him, some pretend, but don’t ever take him seriously.

That is karma catching up. He walks around pretending to be something he’s not, while having no idea who sees through his act and sees him for who he really is.

Just so you know, the “cult” members are the people who sponsor the club and also happen to have a starter on a top team. FOJ also. Those that do business deals outside with the owner and the child also happens to be a player.

Retaliation in SafeSport terms is a prohibited action—including threats, harassment, or adverse employment/athletic changes—taken against someone for reporting misconduct or participating in a SafeSport investigation. It is a violation of the SafeSport Code,, which can lead to sanctions, and it aims to prevent, deter, or punish those who disclose abuse within athletic environments.
U.S. Center for SafeSport

Key Aspects of Retaliation under SafeSport
Definition: Adverse actions taken before, during, or after a complaint process, including punishing or restricting opportunities for those who report misconduct.
Types of Retaliation: Threatening, intimidating, harassing, or coercing someone to drop a complaint or avoid cooperating with an investigation.
Examples: A coach dropping an athlete, an administrator demoting a staff member, or peers creating a hostile environment because of a reported case.
Prohibition & Reporting: Retaliation is illegal under the SafeSport Code, and any retaliation must be reported directly to the U.S. Center for SafeSport.
Impact: Retaliation is meant to silence victims, stop witnesses from speaking up, and create a culture that hides abuse.
U.S. Center for SafeSport

SafeSport is a Federal law that applies to VRSC and all GA clubs because they participate in a National League. ECNL would also be required to participate. VHSL would also be required to participate because they belong to NHSL. Unfortunately, most of the coaches…even those with training, are too dumb to know what this actually means or don’t care.

The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 (enacted in 2018) is a federal law aimed at protecting amateur athletes from sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. It established the U.S. Center for SafeSport and mandates reporting of abuse by adults in authorized youth sports.

Yes, it does say emotional abuse is a violation of the law.

Emotionally abusive coaching is defined by deliberate, repeated, and prolonged non-contact behaviors that exploit a power imbalance. Unlike physical abuse, it often leaves "hidden scars" like anxiety, depression, and a loss of self-worth. (This being the biggest reason players leave a club.)

Common samples and types of emotional abuse include:
1. Verbal Aggression & Degradation
Personal Attacks: Fusing criticism of performance with an athlete's character, such as calling a player "stupid," "lazy," or a "waste of scholarship money".
Body Shaming: Making derogatory comments about an athlete's weight, appearance, or physical traits.
Mocking Mental Health: Ridiculing an athlete's mental health struggles or disabilities, such as calling them "crazy" or asking if they are "off their meds".
Profane Berating: Using vulgar terms, cussing, or demeaning language

2. Social & Psychological Manipulation
Isolation and Ostracism: Arbitrarily excluding an athlete from practice, team activities, or even end-of-season social events.
Gaslighting: Dismissing legitimate medical conditions or injuries as "mental weakness" or "imaginary".
Playing Favorites/Mind Games: Using inconsistent discipline or ignoring certain players entirely to create a sense of instability and fear.
Encouraging Peer Abuse: Pressuring teammates to make fun of or ostracize a specific player.
U.S. Center for SafeSport

3. Excessive Control & Intimidation
Retaliation: Threatening or
reducing playing time, scholarships, or college recruitment opportunities when an athlete or parent speaks up.[/b]
Punitive Physical Exertion: Using extreme workouts (e.g., bear crawls until vomiting) as a form of emotional punishment rather than for athletic development.
Inappropriate Demands: Forcing athletes to limit social connections with family or friends to prioritize sports.
Intimidating Physical Acts: Punching walls, throwing objects (not necessarily at the person), or "militaristic" behavior intended to instill fear.
NBOA - Business Leadership for Independent Schools
NBOA - Business Leadership for Independent Schools

Resources for Reporting and Identification
U.S. Center for SafeSport: Offers a comprehensive Response and Resolution Process for allegations of emotional, physical, and sexual misconduct in sport.
Positive Coaching Alliance: Provides tools for parents and coaches to recognize the difference between "tough" coaching and abuse.

Sure. You really think he is monitoring this board. Shocker that overall parents are happy at VRSC. I am guessing if they are considering ODFC then they are coming from Dulles South area - Aldie, S. Riding, etc. Choices are for local clubs -ODFC, PSA, Valor, Loudoun, and Rev. The benefit of larger clubs are you have backup coaches and players along with better fields. Loudoun and Rev are the best choices on this list. ODFC and PSA are very small. Valor has its own issues. Overall parents are happy at Rev. You know what tournaments are going to be included in August so plenty of time to plan. Coaches are overall good.



There are several posts which appear to be an owner or a club rep. Many were deleted in previous threads.
