Juventus DC Metro coming to VA? THIS. IS. AWESOME.

[Anonymous]

Right, so you're going to scrape the bottom feeder players off of other travel teams or you're going to promote rec players who have never played competitively before? Where are all these competitive players going to come from, are you going to take them away from McLean ecnl or Vienna Phoenix or Metro united? Good luck with that unproven brand and unproven coaches and new teams forming that take a full season before they even get in any kind of conceivable rhythm. Would love to know the background of the coaches also

I'm the PP who said it's Ronaldo's mom and that was intended as TIC. I can appreciate the positive vibes and appreciation OP has for her club. It's welcome on these boards.

What established Italian coach is going to want to get shipped off to United States to coach random groups of players, or are you going to just hire someone local and then brand them as a Juventus coach after sending them to a online coaching seminar hosted by Juventus academy

Take your club back to Montgomery county where parents don't really give a crap about soccer and don't really know the landscape well. They buy into anything there because Bethesda is the only established club and everyone else is just new consumers of soccer and will buy into anything you put in front of them with a brand name.

Pirlo is going to take a leave of absence until the team is established

I do t get it. Is that supposed to be indicative of the whole club.

It’s their only team ranked at all, so yes

You do realize how inaccurate that is right?

And for the folks on this board who are worried about upward mobility or being looked down upon by the ECNL team at their DC's at existing clubs, maybe this will prove to be a good alternative for those parents and their children.

hopefully anyone considering this club does their own research. Personally, I'd be wary of paying top tier prices for a club that is going to have to take all comers and, at best, will have lopsided teams. At worst they will end up with a slate of mixed age group teams practicing wherever the bigger clubs haven't already reserved all of the space which will mean the worst fields at the worst times. That's all fine if you know what you're getting into, but it's disingenuous to imply that the kid will be trying out for and playing at a large club under Juventus' umbrella rather than a small club licensing the name

I would take your own advice and do the research. This team will NOT take all comers. They already have several girls signed up to try out. And oh yeah the link went up yesterday morning. Juventus is a WORLDWIDE ACADEMY. I'm pretty sure they're not going to have a hard time finding practice space. This is 100% under the Juventus Umbrella. They have PROFESSIONAL COACHES FROM JUVENTUS in Italy travel to visit and advise their youth programs all over the world 4 times a year. I'd pay top tier prices for a Juventus team over any of the local area clubs on any day of the week. Wow are you clueless. Yeah bc a small club licensing their name could legally list JEEP as one of their sponsors, let alone put it on their jerseys.

I invite you to visit the official Juventus website (you'll want to choose the english version bc I doubt you speak Italian. If you did we wouldn't be having this conversation), go to the pull down menu and select ACADEMY. Then choose The Programs, then Year-Round Training. Then feel free to look at their WORLDWIDE PROGRAM LOCATOR MAP. Enjoy feeling stupid.

Sucker, just write another check and keep telling your friends your little johnny plays for Juventus and italian coaches are coming to train him. so funny. Oh and its Ronaldos club forgot that part. Maybe he will be on the bench for little johnnys next game. bring the family

The negativity people display on this site is always so interesting. No one said Italian coaches were coming to coach “little Johnny”. All I’ve see is someone had a good experience with Juventus DC Metro and they’re happy there will be a VA team for her child to try out for. Everyone needs to calm down.

That’s the thing. No one believes this is mom who had a good experience. It’s probably some staffer hoping to earn commission via their post and its link.

OMG I am a Mom! At least last time I checked. Unless I’m in some bizarro world version of The Truman Show. LOL this is hilarious. Do I need to post a picture of my boy in his old Juventus uniform? I mean...

no reason you can't be a mom and a club employee. If you actually work in marketing, this is a pretty hamfisted attempt to publicize the club

Exactly. And no I’m not a Club employee. I just like the Club. Jeez. I’m walking away now. Some of you guys are way to cynical. And angry!

some of use don't like blatant marketing pretending to be first hand experience aimed at parents trying to understand what can be a very opaque landscape of local clubs.

Who ARE you. Why does me telling people about a club I had a good experience with have to be marketing? I live in Herndon btw if you wanna meet for coffee maybe I can rub some of my Zen off on you.

Because it's over the top to the point of hilarity!
"We recently moved from Montgomery County where Juventus is based and it’s THE CLUB to play for"
There's about a dozen clubs in Montgomery County that are far, far better than Juventus and everyone knows that. If you had just come on here and said, "hey, my kids had great experience with this program, you might want to consider it", we wouldn't be at 7 pages of comments.

Sorry I got really excited! Yes there are tons of clubs in Montgomery Co. Wasn’t trying to take anything away from them. My daughter was excited. One of her friends signed up to try out. She got excited. Her mom and I got excited that our daughters might get to play together again! I’m excited damnit!!! I know a lot about the club and I wanted to share! But now I’m some really bad at marketing, maybe Mom, who might work for the club and is trying to pull off the worst publicity stunt of 2021. I will tone down my excitement in future posts. I PROMISE, believe me.

Geez. Your post is a little creepy. The entire family is excited or just you because you like Ali? Or you’re actually Ali pretending to be a man.

So you, your wife and your daughter all got so excited that the first thing you did was to jump on DCUM to do a major marketing spread about them? Sounds very credible to me. LOL

The Juventus Professional Italian team has Coaches who travel around the world to check in with their youth programs 4 times a year. And some of the youth program coaches go to Italy to train.

No. I am the wife. I was talking about my daughter friends Mom and I being excited about our girls playing to together again. And not the 1st thing I did. But I thought I would get on here and spread the word bc it’s a great opportunity. And I love the Club! You clearly have some hidden agenda AGAINST Juventus. Why is that? Did your kid try out and not make it???

They look competitive to me. Pretty much every club in the area is making you pay this if your DC isn't on the ECNL team. One of the exceptions (low price point in this area for travel) is bryc bridge.

$2,500 for NCSL is not norm. It males them the most expensive in the area by a large margin

Depends on how you view it, but no, generally speaking it doesn't. Pretty much everyone in NCSL is paying ~$2K+ for a full 12-month cycle. Go check local clubs' fee structures if you'd like.

Normal in every club my kids have tried out for.

And most clubs don’t include Winter futsal so that’s not bad.
