They had their top 2 U little teams in brackets well below where they should have been. I guess winning is number 1 there. They played our club’s 3rd and 4th teams.

This is standard operating practice for Valor. And of course it’s a separate social media post for each team, unlike many other clubs that put all their champions and finalists into a single post or IG story.

It's a well-known fact that Valor just loves to underachieve in tournaments, or they just can't resist adding 3-4 regional players from their VPSL league to their roster. They even pull this stunt during their seasonal matches to give a little boost to their struggling teams in the NCSL. How charming! It's so obvious and frankly pathetic, especially when they consistently hover near the bottom of the standings, yet somehow manage to pull off wins against two of the top teams in their division. Notice how they never move up from their division. What a joke.

My experience with Valor lately for the U14 Boys team
- training sessions have repeatedly been cancelled.
- guest players are being prioritized over rostered players who have paid for training.
- Coach pushing for private training when it violates policy. Was not serious while coaching the actual Valor training. Probably seeing Valor as a platform to earn more money

Guest players playing down from other Valor teams, or just random people?

Nothing is more hilarious then a guy who half-osses his team practices---that you are paying for--and then tries to hawk private training.

right? why would you pay more money for the same terrible training?

Play time

To buy playtime for your kid, basically.

That's sad. Most of those valor teams are just rec with better uniforms. Playtime should be relatively even just like in rec.

Sometimes the guest players are players outside of Valor that we have never seen before and they disappear right after the tournament. Sometimes they are players from the Gold team to prop up the chances of winning. Else we will never win a game. Quite sad. Thank you for the comments on Valor being rec teams in better looking uniforms. Why are other clubs doing better? They have better coaches? better player selection? I am thinking of changing my son to another club but do not know which one is better.

Other clubs are much more professionally run. This starts with the the top and trickles down throughout the organization. Valor is the club you leave vs come to.

Do other clubs require lower level teams to attend 3 travel stay to play tournaments? There are plenty of local tournaments that don't require hours of travel and over priced hotel rooms.

At our club, the second teams don't do away tournaments.
