How is it a step down though? You saying “period” isn’t really convincing. If he actually is being made a head coach in waiting at GP, he gets a chance to be at Prep and get familiar with how it’s run, get to know the other coaches and more importantly the athletes he will be coaching, etc. I’m not a Tysons or GP parent but I’m just not seeing how this is a step down if people are saying Tyson’s AM was their Gold 2 group. If his goal is to run Gold 1 and be a head site coach that wasn’t happening Tyson’s/MU with John and Chris already in place, so moving over to GP would make sense. |
| I don’t really care about Jeremy. I do care about the mess that NCAP has created for many families who were not looking for a new practice site and the lack of concrete information being provided. |
| We love NCAP MU but small chance I am going to drive my kids out to a subpar pool in Tysons and past sites for 4 other clubs on my way. |
| Exactly |
| This is a very poor business decision for NCAP |
| The decision to blow up the MU site and risk losing all of Arlington to save the Tyson “head quarters” is perplexing. |
| I would hardly call moving Gold 2 to Tysons blowing up the MU site. It’s 1 training group. You also know at the end of the day what is best for the club and its fastest swimmers is paramount, and that is their Gold 1 group. I’m sure when the Tysons equivalent of their Gold 1 group was moved to MU it was not a popular move with the Tyson’s parents either. |
I’m guessing you do not swim at MU or live in Arlington. It’s a small swim community and people are pissed off. |
| Driving from Tysons to Arlington for a 5:15 AM Gold 1 practice is a bit different than driving from Arlington to Tysons for a 3:30 PM practice when it comes to logistics and time in the car. Hard to say what the final impacts will be but I have to imagine some of the large contingent of 14 year olds about to age up out of Silver 1 are going to be looking at alternative options. |
| How many Arlington families are driving out of the way to go to a site for “written off” swimmers so NCAP can collect their dues. The fact that Spencer has provided zero information on how this change benefits Gold 2 swimmers it is clear that there is no plan for them. |
The tentative schedule I’ve seen for Gold 2 is M-F 5:00am - 6:45am at TY and S 6:00-8:00am at MU. I don’t know about dryland. So for the MU folks going to TY at 5:00 will be ok, but going home might not be. |
Have you seen a tentative scheduled for Gold 1 at MU? |
Sorry, I haven’t. |
You don’t seem to understand that no one from MU is willing to drive to Tysons. Especially when being told that their kids don’t matter to NCAP |
|
Kids DON’T matter to NCap and neither do the parents- only $$$ matters
Prep, enjoy your demoted coach |
