Are you referring to JS? He’s staying with McLean MLS Next I believe.

We left Arl for McLean last yr. Best decision ever. Training (Coach) was more into herself than coaching at Arl.

DD says he is going with FVU, so who knows.

It’s funny how small the GK community is 1-2 months out from tryouts where multiple GK’s tried out for multiple clubs? Everyone talks and the GK community is small. They all know each other and most are friends. Yes, CRAZY that someone knows so much about such a small community. Mind blown. 🤯

Not the PP you're responding to. Did she just get lucky with the 2010 year or are you saying there's someone lurking here that could answer for any year? Fascinating, if so.

I posted from knowledge I know about the 2010 year. I’m guessing others did too. I’m just blown away that people
Seem surprised that there are people
Out there that knows what the 2010 GK situation looks like for all clubs within driving distance. They all play each other. They all do camps
Together. I was just stating a fact that the community is small and the small community talks.

Thanks. DD is a GK on her HS team so I watch threads like this when they go by to see if there's any training that makes sense to offer her. Mainly trying to help a little with her confidence since it's a tough position to take on with all the other pressures of being 16. I didn't really understand the dynamic with the GKs from different clubs training together at camps/etc, but it's nice to hear about the comradery. We're relatively new to this but it definitely feels different on the sidelines than the experience of the field players families.

Most do, there’s actually a method to his madness. He does the same 8-10 drills but most of his keepers can do them with their eyes closed. His long time keepers are some of the more technical in the area. Doing things the correct way is more important to him than just making the save.

A little research into the background on each GK coach in the area would help as well since this is such a specialized position. You can google most of them, they range in experience from rec dad coach to national team experience.

My daughter plays in Arlington and LOVES the GK coaching staff, so to each their own I guess

You can't use logic with some people here. They just want to argue for arguments sake and run people/teams down to feel better about themselves.

A colleague said to check out Virginia Development Academy or Union but any other recommendations? They said to stay away from Arlington; something about that coach getting let go from a university program.

We also haven’t ruled out GA if we can find a good program so any recommendations would be appreciated.

TIA.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Albion 2010 HC just come from Arlington?

Okay and what coaching license does he hold? Technical? Now that's a good one. My DD had to go to a private coach to correct her form.

You should not have brought your kid into the discussion. Don't open the door because it allows people to walk through it.

YOU aren't sticking with anything unless you are a teenage girl. If you are not, which I assume is the case, you're a loser for acting like where your daughter plays makes you somehow better.

Apologies for saying "where your daughter plays." It's more like what team she is on.

Loser.
