That's a good 2nd step, but the 1st step they MUST do is announce dates for tryouts! They risk retention issues without that announcement and risk not recruiting new players. This board seems to be making misstep after misstep.

That's because they have no idea what they are doing. None of them have ever run a soccer club, and they have no clue the damage they have done by replacing coaches like NM with HM!!! Our daughter stayed with GFR ONLY b/c NM was going to be her coach again next year. He completely turned around our team and now they are trying to slide HM into his place and that is completely unacceptable. We are trying to be patient and not run for the hills but this was done SO poorly by this board. Their responses to individuals on our team show they have no competence. They should all be forced to explain what they're doing and forced to resign after this. Even with the communications about RS there has been nothing about NM and his crew.

So will HM be coaching now, which teams? That will be interesting …

Coaching slates for next year still haven't been released but he's been slid in as the head coach for 14 and 13G Blue teams after NM was let go.

We all KNOW, HM is full of shit!! This will be interesting.

Imagine how the parents and kids feel, some giving up opportunities to play GA at McLean to come back to GFR for NM and now being told HM is our coach. It's infuriating!! Talk about a downgrade....

Thanks McLean troll for your input... recruiting numbers must not be very good these days, huh?

Nice try but actually a GFR parent, there were several girls offered GA spots on McLean who turned them down to stay with GFR under the impression NM was the coach.

Ok, so let me see if I understand this. Several girls from GFR went and tried out for McLean's GA team while NM was their coach at GFR. But then they decided to stay at GFR because NM was going to be their coach at GFR. But now they are sad and mad because NM was let go and they turned down the offers for they got for McLean GA they got when NM was their coach. Hmmmm... this doesn't sound made up at all.

actually it doesn't sound made up at all. it makes a lot of sense. same reason parents/players stay at GFR for GD (see : 09's) when they could play GA/ECNL. not something i'd personally do but it's obvious there are parents who stay at GFR for specific coaches.

I think the PP was trying to say if you liked NM so much, why’d you even tryout for McLean GA while he was still the coach?

because getting feedback from other clubs and going to tryouts for other clubs is just a smart thing to do especially when your kids is 10 or 11 years old??

Well now we know it’s fake because McLean has not had tryouts for 10 and 11 year olds yet.

for 2013's they have

McLean still looking to fill slots on their GA team because they all left for union so maybe they’ll still honor the offer they made you.

for 2013's they all went to union?

Mclean possesses the Captain America, who lacks credibility in youth development. HM is a nomad and will move to the highest bidder. Previously, he worked with Arlington, coaching players in Mclean and Vienna. GFRs must strategize their end goal and envision its outcome. Recently, they parted ways with RS, a decision long overdue. The next move should involve tryout announcements and the recruitment of skilled TD and coaches to fill the vacancies left by the departed coaches.
