Are VYS parents just the MOST butthurtiest parents in all of NOVA and feel the need to express and divulge said butthurt in an open yet anonymous forum? As to warn everyone about the trials of VYS, and yet what it seems to be doing is warning everyone as to VYS's overly butthurt parents. Has VYS implemented a butthurt form on their website yet?

Best VYS post ever!

Several pages back I urged the VYS community to let this thread die but, to my delight, they just can't let it go.

VYS is a train wreck and this thread is testament to that.

Sure, this is great comedy! I gave some sincere advice but y'all to dumb and self absorbed to pay head to it. So enjoy being laughed at.

I don't think VYS is a trainwreck at all, but some of the parents are, without a doubt. And like many keep pointing out: there are trainwreck crazies at every club.

Parents need to breathe in, and some should breathe out. We would be better off if some did not!!!

Relax. This is YOUTH SOCCER folks. Get a grip. VYS is a great group whose drama has grabbed a lot of publicity lately .... But it is getting better.

If you are low in drama, come on in. Because I want more of YOU!! If you can't keep the drama down , go elsewhere. Please.

The PP with the long letter, please let us know what club your daughter will be going to.

There are problems with every club. VYS has gone through major transition over the past 24 months, to be sure. But I can tell you from direct experience that the present technical staff and coaching staff are some of the most caring involved professionals in the business. Kevin and Michel have had their challenges from last fall, but I think they are handling them very well. They just finished a rain-soaked tryout season (which went much better than last year's BTW). They and Laura Skoff are working to improve communication to the parents - which is already 200% better than when Gunney was around. (Was never a fan of his - won't hide that). They have the coaching slate for next fall set up. They are working 24-7 for VYS.

Nothing is ever going to be 100% Remember - when you wrote that very "heart felt" message to Michel - or spoke with him mid year, Rich Gunney pulled all of the strings. He was a control freak and was a major impediment to any improvement.

I agree - if your kid starts hating practice, there is a reason. Yes the coach was to blame in your daughter's case, but to pin it on Michel is wrong.

Let's look forward. VYS is a great club....good families, great kids. I am not raising Lionel Messi. I just want my kid to have fun and play soccer at a club that will let him be a kid.

Well said.

It's all a matter of perspective and being able to roll with the punches:

"CYA = home of coaches who no one else wants. One of the worst soccer environments around and getting worse. If you want an improved experience near Thoreau, I'd look at Bethesda South."

How many of those other club train wreck crazies have a forum thread dedicated to their club's troubles? How many pages is this nonsense going on and none of your parents can just stop posting. ive suggested it, begged for it, but you are all so full of your first world soccer drama that you just can't help yourselves. You are, without a doubt, the worst.

Clean up your house, and it should start with telling your parents to just STFU online.

OK. How do we get YOU to STFU?

A lot of this thread has been productive. A lot has actually drifted onto other clubs. But nooooo ... YOU always have to come back and make it worse.

You want me to STFU? One of two ways. Let this thread die, or be positive about soccer and the process. The obsession and vile for a club that is trotted out here is crazy. Just leave the club. Don't go away mad, just go away. It is soccer, it isn't your mission to either save the club or to save people from joining a club.
