I know that Loudoun/NVA, McLean, Arlington, and VSA/VDA are cleaning house now. They are very strict with age groups. Even if you are the best player, they will still cut you because of this new school-year rule. A lot of Q4 2013 players are getting pushed down.

”cleaninghouse”? They are aligning kids with the new calendar year to field the most competitive teams. Most are moving to age group unless you are related to MH at NVA.

your "pushed down" is my playing the correct age group. Not sure what the confusion is especially at the highest levels of big clubs.

seriously? I know someone on each of those teams that is already playing up, even before the SY change. That's not suddenly going to change for next year because of the SY change. Each of the clubs is going to put together the best team they can from the eligible candidates, and if that includes some Q4 2013s or Q4 2014s, then that's who will be on the team.

Our club's unstated policy is along the lines of 'no one plays up if they're not on the top team', so I expect to see some Q4 2013s move down based on that rule, but we'll see for the Q4 2013s who are already starters on the top team but could move down and become stars

Sounds like you are mostly talking about Loudoun/ NVA, which has the most “flexible perspective”. Clubs should require that you have to be on top team and top third, not just top team. Anyways, anyone in the know knows that these teams have set rosters already and tryouts are more of a formality. Most Q4 2013s already know if they will continue or play in next age group. I’ve been surprised by how many 2013s are actually going to be in the 2014 age group. Depending on how some of these clubs handle roster size, I think a lot of people are going to be shocked.

Decent coach.
Favors taller girls/early developers

There is rich discussion on MV throughout these boards. Not sure I've ever seen a positive comment.

He's doesn't play the parent game and most of the girls are okay with him. He is the lesser of many evils in this area.

Not a glowing endorsement, but sounds like it could be worse. Based on him being mid, I would assume McLean girls dont come over, so FVU will not be strong for the foreseeable future.

He certainly picks and amplifies favorites. The girls are "ok" with him because they are terrified to speak to him.

Agree! Lots of parents are negative because he doesn't entertain any fraternizing and being influenced by parents unlike other coaches in the region. If you appreciate that and if your kid is a strong & serious player you will be happy. Probably best suited to the younger age teams too.

I think it has more to do with the lack development for his players. His teams play kickball and get worse when they play for him coming from another coach. He has a record of failure with teams and his best players head for greener pastures by the time recruiting comes around.
