My kids played SYA rec for several years before they played Valor and we never met or saw a Valor coach "assisting" with their teams. only volunteers. Didn't see any Valor people at all until tryouts. My sister coached a season and the coaching class was run by the head SYA soccer guy, not Valor. (the all star coach was a teenager and he was paid.)

I think you just don't know how to identify these folks. RO who runs SYA also works for valor. He isn't in a valor uniform but typically just a black on black adidas outfit. The all star coaches are valor kids, and the people running the tournaments are all SYA/valor mix. Rec league coaches are not affiliated with valor but the refereeing program is.

What tournaments? The in-house SYA tournaments are not run by Valor. The All Star coaches are being paid, they aren't volunteering their time for free.

I have coached several SYA rec tournaments and was never paid. The teenage kids get community service credits hours.

Are you talking about coaching rec All Star teams?

Yes.

Some of talented players went to VDA. They had a bad coach when they were SYA who is now being roasted in another thread.

Assuming AB.. He should not allowed to coach kids under 16 or even at all. He verbally abused refs and kids. Showed up hungover and just a master of untruths in relations to leagues and development. Was also forced out as Varsity coach at Freedom, and several soccer kids got permission to go to lightridge to avoid him

These all star tournaments are not run by paid coaches. They are usually some volunteer dad coach that the group coordinator selected. And that dad is most likely someone doing it to get their kid on the team. Those all star rec tournaments are nothing like a travel tournament and are a complete farce. They are never the best players in the league. They are the coaches kid and her best friends.

He's coaching the gold team. There are 3 other teams in that age group-2014 girls.

This is true but starts at and above U-10. All younger Rec All Star teams are coached by Valor kids or other coaches that the SYA Director RO brings in.

Why doesn’t Valor do this for CYA also? The all star rec coaches for CYA stink. Like I said earlier it’s just a bunch of egomaniac dads selecting teams around their crappy kids.

Will probably consolidate into 3 teams as they move up into 9 v 9

They only announced the ecnl coaches. Typically valor. I can just imagine them sitting at that office twiddling their thumbs trying to figure out what to do

Soccer academy which is heavily promoted by valor and SYA (not sure about CYA) has an affiliation to one of the VALOR coaches.

BTW I would not recommend any Soccer academy program. Take your money to SYC if you are in need of a soccer summer camp.

This makes perfect sense, let's drive 45 mins to Springfield for summer camp and an orange shirt.
