Too many to list, mostly lower tier teams. They don't tell families it will be a parent coach until basically the fall sesson starts, they hold tryouts and claim they are looking for the right coach, string em along, take their money and then a parent coach pops up in August.

Definitely. This happened to us. We left Valor. We are in a much better place now on a higher tier and more competitive team. Don’t be fooled.

if parent coaches were totally fine and just as good as "real coaches". then Valor would have their best teams also coached by parents who just happen to have kids on the team.

The fact that they reserve 'parent coaches' for their worst teams (while still charging those families full freight!!) shows they know that the 'parent coaches' are not as good as the 'real coaches'.

kinda crazy that people are willing to pay for these unqualified, biased coaches. but i guess if they are told a real coach is being hired, then commit, they don't have the chance to go to another place by the time the "parent coach" is revealed right before the season starts.

Typical and on brand for them. We left. My kid is in a much better place and quite a few divisions up from his last team. Valor will feed you bread crumbs. I’d keep your options open come tryout season or look to get ID’d early. Happy hunting.

Where did you end up?

They may have to dump that “Spanish style” and tango to see kids join.

Tell all your friends, if you genuinely care about them: “Don’t do Valor’!”

You can better results playing FIFA!

the style that dominates the world? Current Men’s European champion
Current Men’s Olympic champion
Current Women’s World Cup champions

You are a grade A clown 🤡

They haven't actually tried to implement any kind of style or methodology despite being around for several years.

How they will have their terrible "professional" Parent coaches and other completely ineperienced "professional" coaches do "spanish" style coaching will be interesting to see for those foolish enough to stick around next year.

There is zero structure, no real sports curriculum or tactic set in place. Just look at the tryouts in may when they let out. The assessments are a complete joke accomplished with little to no effort. Just a bunch of kids running in circles. They have the kids already pre-selected from the current season playing with each other. They simply keep the same kids with minimal movement. Last year, they recolored the teams, maybe moved 3-4 kids if that and consolidated some of the team take due to transition to the larger roster once the kids aged up. Just look at the divisions. Just saying.

What clubs in the same vicinity don't do this?

That's every tryout I have taken my kid to. The real key is to request an ID Session if you really want your kid to be seen.

This is so true. Team hoppers do this to make higher teams whether they are actually good or not. Valor is notorious for taking lower tiered teamed players over home grown ones that deserve the bump. They have to then leave to get any movement team wise.

2013 boys NVA will mostly be valor if they decide to go there. There are many kids who decide to avoid NVA for many reasons noted on prior posts.

Oh, has NVA already held tryouts and selected their roster for this team?

[Anonymous]

Valor doesn't develop players so even though they have many players in a given age group,
they are mediocre and can't compete at NVA level.
