What is up with NVA posting about their 2013 NVA girls team? Obviously, there is no such thing yet, but recognize they started one for the super cup. I get that you can call a group of kids anything but seriously. Both of MH’s kids are in the photo so clearly he is behind it or involved. I dont understand how this can continue.

It was one of the teams we thought about trying out for but this spring but seems like they pretty much have the ECNL roster already set, and have since the fall season.

It's a recruiting tool and one questionably in the rules. Fwiw my kid is in a few of the pictures and her current plan is to play elsewhere. She just gets extra touches with her friends with these opportunities

Thanks. I know quite a few people getting put off by the 2012, 2013 and 2014 antics. There are some very odd things going on with this club. The 2013s should be good next year, which will mask a lot because the 2012s and 2013s are very good. However, I am not sure I want to subject my kid to this either.

Subject them to what exactly? To a Tío quality environment?

Adding girls to the roster, dual rostered, around the third game of the season. This increased the team from 12 to 14 even though parents were told 12. I’ve been told by parents on 2013s that it is like a revolving door of girls just showing up and playing random games. It doesn’t feel like a team, but rather, individual players.

With the 2013s that is what happens when the 2012 coach grabs their best players to dual roster for ECNL

It seems there are significant issues within the NVA coaching staff and their approach to developing individual players as well as managing the age groups. Here are some observations and concerns from parents and players:

2012B Coach MN: There’s been a lot of confusion and frustration with Coach MN, who transitioned from coaching the Loud White teams to taking over the NVA 2012B team. The 2012B team went winless in the fall, and Coach MN was let go before November after a number of families and parents requested a change. It's likely that some parents are still considering releasing their players due to the lack of progress and direction under his coaching.

2011G-2012G Coach DB: Feedback from parents of the 2011G and 2012G teams reveals concerns about Coach DB’s attendance and commitment. According to what parents have shared, Coach DB has canceled or missed more training sessions than he’s attended, including regular Monday and Wednesday sessions. He’s also missed multiple games this fall, including calling in sick for Sunday games after showing up for Saturday pre-season tournament games. Additionally, DB went to Miami for a Commanders football preseason game and missed games, scrimmages, and training sessions as a result. There was an instance where the 2012 girls had to run their own training session because DB hadn’t coordinated coverage or communicated his absence. Other NVA coaches have had to step in to cover for DB multiple times this fall.

Sideline Incident and Suspension: It seems that DB was involved in an altercation with another NVA assistant coach on the sideline, leading to a suspension. It’s unclear whether this suspension lasted one or two weeks, as the club hasn’t communicated this matter clearly to the parents. The incident was significant enough that SafeSport was contacted. However, the Club has yet to address the situation with the families involved.

Coaching Course and Missed Sessions: DB also missed every Monday team session because he was attending a coaching course, which he ultimately failed. Despite this, he missed valuable training time with the team. This raises further concerns about his dedication to his role and the development of the players.

NVA TD's Involvement: The NVA Technical Director (TD) has had to cover a lot of training sessions and games for the 2012 girls this season due to DB’s absences, sickness, and suspension. During one of the games where the TD was covering for DB, a player was fouled just outside the box, and the TD called for his own 2014 daughter to take the free kick. This situation raised a lot of eyebrows, especially since the 2012 girls’ team is one of the top teams in the area. It’s seen by many as a poor look, as any player on the team could have taken the kick, but instead, the TD prioritized his daughter. This behavior has fueled discussions about the perceived nepotism within the club, which seems to be happening openly without consideration for its impact on the team, the players, or the wider community.

This is extremely helpful and so sorry to hear about all this, sounds completely frustrating. Do you think they will bring DB back next season? Have you gone to MH or above his head to raise these concerns? Do you think the club/ Board is aware?

Was surprised to see DB originally get the role. The sideline behavior you describe was noticeable previously at McLean. The lack of commitment is surprising and not acceptable of a coach on that level or any other.

Some of these assertions (and gossip) are the very reason Coaches (and teachers, etc, etc,) should not friend parents on social media.
