[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All clubs send tryout notices to their rec programs. Call it whatever you want, but of course they do. CYA and SYA are Valor's rec programs. They send their coaches in to assist with the rec programs, and they conduct coaching education for the rec coaches who want to go to them. I see nothing wrong with this.

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.)[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

This is the Rec league mentality. You are in the correct club. [/quote]

Valor is nothing more than a glorified CYA/SYA rec plus league.[/quote]

It's all glorified rec/ncsl around here.  Rec>NCSL>RL is there really much of a difference besides price?  Maybe a few pockets of success but generally speaking the quality of soccer isn't changing significantly.[/quote]

Disagree. I have seen a huge difference between the quality in the highest divisions of NCSL vs. the lowest divisions. My kids haven't played rec in a long time but I would be surprised if those bottom NCSL divisions weren't actually worse than most rec teams (who presumably have at least some players with athletic skill)[/quote]

Spot on. The top level NCSL players are in a different category than rec or lowest level travel players. Can’t lump them together and try to sound like you know what you are talking about. [/quote]
