2014 Boys (U13) Offer/Status Check-In

My favorite part of tryouts is when teams send out offers but have no coaching skate. Favorites part by a long shot.

If you care about the coach then your kid ain't it.

NOT true. All coaches aren't good. Some lack social skills, commitment ( coach other HS teams), training standards, etc. Too many various factors to make silly comments like that. There is a reason why certain coaches bring talent when recruiting for various sports like football, basketball, and soccer.

About 2/3rds of the NVA 2014 team seems to be settled. They are having another tryout on Sunday and the players who have an offer still need to attend. Sounds like a mix of Loudoun and SYC players are making up the offers that are out. My son accepted his spot.

Do you happen to know the general mix? More Loudoun or SYC? My son went to the Loudoun AD tryout and was surprised to see how many of the current top team Loudoun players were there. I guess they didn't get an offer from NVA? We figured most of them would, but I guess not if SYC kids were trying out too. That is such a long drive to Loudoun if you live near Springfield. Clearly we are not in that world because I have a limit to how far I will drive my kid for soccer practice. I guess if you have multiple teammates from your area and you know you can set up a carpool...

No...if your kid is the talent you will know it. Coaches don't matter at this level.

If your kid is top tier, you are looking for exposure, connections, and opportunity. Coaching is irrelevant. If you need to know who the coach is so you can gauge if your kid will fit in or play...your kid ain't it. Ask me how I know. There are levels to this.

I disagree 100% with this. Coaching always matters. They have a direct impact on a player wanting to be a team player and learning to push teammates to be better (a learned skill), versus making it all about them.
Plus, if you kid is talented, why let that talent the have go stagnant with poor coaching? If the team dynamic sucks, players don't have fun.
News flash, 12 year olds want to have fun.

Broski, read the heading. You must be in the wrong chat. Lay off the weed man.

If your kid is top tier now at U12, they probably won't be around in the top tier once puberty kicks in without quality coaching. Our kids are 11. The next three years are about technical foundation. Point blank. If you don't understand that, you are the typical American driving their talented kid off the cliff.

There is a 100% chance your kids market value is not over $25k so there is not much you can tell me.

You obviously have not done the research because 95% of the market value of our top 20 players from the DMV comes from 4 clubs. None of them have natties but they all have exposure if you can play.

I almost hate to ask but what market value are we talking about here? What are the four clubs?

I don't mind getting exposed to Broskyzian theory from time to time. I look at my 11 year old rug rat as a debit!!!!

Happy to share information. Once we started getting approached by clubs, I had to learn more about this system than I think I ever wanted to know.

Market value = the value a club would pay to buy a player. I use Transfermarkt but I imagine there are all kinds of sophisticated systems that I am not aware of. Kevin Paredes is the most valuable DMV product currently at $6m. Your market value is basically how good you are and how much another club is willing to pay for you.

Regarding the four clubs, I am not touching that as people will come out with the knives and pitchforks because everybody knows everything and thinks their club is the best. If you take Paredes as an example, there are several clubs that can claim his development in the DMV: https://www.transfermarkt.us/kevin-paredes/profil/spieler/711517. There are definitely patterns in the top players.

Ok. So we both have 2014 players I think. Both play at high levels. Mine will be MLS Next HD next fall. Are you suggesting that alone places them at $25,000? I will look up that other $6 m player but the link didn't work for me. You think my guy has value and if he does, then why did I just pay $400 deposit or whatever it was when I clicked accept? Should I hate finessed them for a discount?
