ASA listen up

[Anonymous]

Alexandria lost three of their 'top' coaches. Oddly, these coaches were all on the MLS Next side of the house.

Current ASA parent here. It feels like there has been zero investment on the boy's side. All the families on the top team know you need to be out by u15.

Maybe your kid just needs to train.

Not sure what player training has to do with ASA falling apart at the older ages

I am so bummed he left. He was really helping parents with recruiting how to’s and was a great resource (at least for us).

Ok, clearly you have not been in the club or know where the resource allocation gets assigned.

I am. If you have something to say on the topic. Say it.

Check the TP post..... and inform yourself.

So no? Don't waste our time, or your time, posting. When you say "clearly" and then nothing of substance you're not getting a point across.

Iif you are an ASA parent you know these things. You are an outsider, sorry for assuming you are able to inform yourself.

May ASA needs to hire better coaches.... MLS Next boys have been suffering, it is a real nightmare.

Why are you so scared to say what you think? stop hinting at whatever you're hinting at and if you're going to take time to post. post something.

I'm familiar with the other thread. My comment was . . .it's not ASA's fault that two coaches left for better opportunities and that maybe Ryan Rich or Chris Arnold could take a team. And that they should invest more in the MLS Next program. I'm thinking you agree, but can't tell because you won't say anything.

Grigor, should be also coaching a team in the MLS Next Program.

What does Tony Parker do? He sits and makes all that money but never see his face.

Where is the 2011 coach going?

Not really. ASA is Alexandria and Arlington is Arlington, rookie. Now you know.
