This post sounds like something a crazed parent that thinks his kid is much better than he is would say.

The crazy parents that move kids around in packs by recruiting packs of players from one team to another, often mid-season, should be sanctioned. And if anyone knows these parents, they should be called out by name on here. Why would anyone want a family on their team that has already shown they are willing to break up a team midseason by recruiting their own team's players to move to another club.

On the boys side, I know some guy named Hasam that was part of LMVSC has done this multiple times and another dad has broken up multiple teams named Munsur.

On the girls side, FCV "poaches" by having parents and coaches speaking to 9 and 10 year old girls without their parents around looking for mid-season moves...big no-no in my book.

How about saying who you are?

I know Hasan recruited a bunch of kids to LMVSC last year. Are you saying he and the kids moved to a new club recently? if so, where did he take the kids? Thanks

Also, how can a Maryland team (Bethesda South) be in the State Cup in VIRGINIA? I don't care about affiliation with a Virginia club, it smells funny to me.

Teams apply to play in State Cup, so there's no selection. Your team makes the application, pays the fee, and they play. Multiple teams from the same club can play.

Bethesda South is most likely registered in Virginia, even though it has ties to the Maryland club.

Man - crazy parents are everywhere just stay clear of them - far, far away. The bigger issue are the clubs charging $2000-$3000 a year for awful training and no development. Unless you get lucky and get one of the rare, few coaches that work hard and are actually interested in developing your child, you're throwing money away. And please don't tell me about "A" or "B" licensed coaches - thats a joke. As a PP said, a ton of these top licensed coaches, moved up the licensing ladder by playing "professionally" for a month somewhere and still in their late 20s or early 30s. These are the coaches that couldn't be bothered actually putting together a training plan for each session. After all, they have an A license.

Hell, yes!!! +100

Thank you. Had no idea.

My son is on a top ranked team that formed from two other teams. That was 2 years ago. It is now in the process of breaking apart as the top players look to move on. It's the same parents that brought together the team that are now moving on.

Soccer is a small world. Most of the coaches at the Clubs in the area know one another and talk.

We are planning to tryout a few new places to check things out, but I wouldn't go as far to contact other coaches because I'm afraid it would get back to our club and they'd screw my kid over when we aren't yet 100% certain we are leaving.

(A coach here). Yes, we do talk -- we also see random tweets from various club tryouts that inadvertently include photos of your kids in the background .. lol. But seriously, most coaches know and don't care and would never 'screw over your kid' because of it. I certainly cannot speak for all coaches, but jesus, most of us are not vindictive a-holes.

My experience (lots of coaches over the years) is that they will tell a parent whatever they think is necessary to finish a conversation. These are not expert communicators.

Ugh. Yes. They keep adding more teams to these damn clubs--now we have F and G teams. It's pure robbery. They count on parents that know nothing about soccer to keep writing the checks.

When you get to the pint that you are forming 6 teams per age group in one club, it's time to think that these 30 kids would be better off in a $75 Rec league. Parents could hire a private trainer for much less with better results and return on the dollar. It waters down the system. All group training is too over-crowded. The coaching staff is not that deep and aren't invested in these kids.

My son is trying out for U9 next season. I checked out some clubs and sort of boiled it down to BRYC or PWSI. Currently in PWSI Academy but traffic is a beast. Anyway my question is how would one know how many teams the age group would have? From talking to some parents BRYC had 3 teams at U9 in CCL and CCL2. I cant imagine 3 coaches could train that many kids. Are some clubs truly looking for talent and others trying to just make money (granted they all want to make money).

They will have team information sheets in their website.

Our Club now has 6 teams in an age group; 3 head coaches and 3 assistant coaches.

Good lord. Not everything is a dark "money grab". The reality is, rec or otherwise, if you want you kid to play sports it costs money. The majority of the coaches and clubs do what they do because they love the game and love working with kids. Some are simply better at it than others. But none of the people working with your kid is getting rich doing so.

Worry more about finding a good fit for a coach and a good fit life style wise for your son and stop looking for ulterior motives of why a club exists or your son was "selected". I've got news for you, all U9 kids that want to play should make a team and be put in a position to learn the game.

Good luck with your decision.

Seriously.

Only on this board will you find so much animosity toward people who work full-time jobs and then scrape out a few extra bucks coaching a soccer team or two. It's not like the coaches are spending the 9-to-5 hours driving around NoVa in a Lexus or Mercedes.

3 coaches for 3 teams seems about right, not sure what the issue would be. The nice thing about CCL/CCL2 scheduling at the younger ages is that they are all at the same place so the coaches can be at all the matches. Far better than having the teams in other leagues where the coach may be travelling back and forth between VA and MD on the weekend trying to make it to kickoff!
