Can or will the WCAC ever do anything about off season contact with coaches?

WCAC allows coaches to coach 10 hours a week in offseason and that includes league games.


Please define “Dominance “.

Dominance - power and influence over others.
Like it or not, GC was dominant in 2024. 23-0, beating everyone in the DMV, usually with a running clock.

Clearly you also went to OLGC by your reading comprehension skills. I thought it was pretty clear that my DD has moved onto college now and that we went to watch her former HS teammates and friends play while she was home on break.

Doesn’t mean you can’t still be a ‘28 parent. You get dumber with each of your posts.

Could you explain what using the WCAC name is supposed to mean in this context?

And unless you have a different explanation, every league I've ever heard of teams can sign up for. Leagues "invite" schools so they can fill them up. Typically many more teams are invited than attend. It isn't some exclusive event where only a select few can get in, and you hope to get the precious invite.

This is not a league we are talking about. This is a recruiting event using the WCAC name and logo in its advertising but has no official affiliation with the WCAC. This event is run by thinklax which is owned and operated by the OLGC coach. This coach appears as if he is concerned he may not get all the recruits so he excluded every other WCAC school that he would have to compete with and only included PVI since they don’t really compete for talent due to distance. My take if you are using the WCAC name and the logo to advertise your event the least the league should do is say of you do this you need to at the put out an invite all the other conference schools who wish to participate.

First it was a league, now it isn't. OK. Is there just a link or something so people can see what you're talking about?

Two different events.

St James indoor league he’s coaching 8th grades he has recruited.

Thinklax recruiting event run by OLGC coach is using WCAC name and logo in advertising without including all WCAC schools in the event. If he wants that event so be it but be honest about it. Don’t include the name and logo of the conference if you are only inviting one other of the nine schools in the conference.

No one "invited" PVI. Any team can join. Also SJC girls has 2 teams participating at the St. James.

SJC does not have 8th graders playing on either team in the Winter League. Not sure about BI, PVI, and other WCAC teams playing at The St. James.

Either way, I stand by my earlier response that MH has built a strong program and is working hard to stay on top. Folks with concerns, not including dads with alumni daughters and too much time on their hands, might better apply their efforts to encouraging their athletic departments to compete, than by complaining.

Really? You, the parent, drove all the way from Upper MOCO down to Springfield VA to watch someone else's kids play? I do not believe that for a second. If your DD wanted to go watch her old HS team she would have gone but the parents? That would be strange for a meaningless off season winter league game. If true that is a larger issue.

No. Parent coaches like some of the WCAC and all ISL teams.

Yes because as hard as it might be for your simple mind to process I also have friendships I have built over the years with players parents so it was nice for me to ba able to catch up with them at the same time my daughter was supporting her friends.
