[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone go to 2012 boys tryouts? What's the opinion of the club in this age group? I have a 2012 boy who was on the lower field of play, we're coming from CYA rec.[/quote]

My understanding is most of the current 2012 Silver team (the lowest team) was a CYA rec team (maybe a CYA all star team) and the coach was the rec coach. I have also heard that team is actually better than the 3rd team but that was from a silver parent. I guess that 4th team is now the black team. So they have four teams, it should be easy to get a spot but not sure a spot you want. [/quote]

Yes - the talent gap between the top 2 teams and the bottom 2 teams is pretty wide. The silver team (4th team/future black team) is I would say almost equal to the 3rd team but a long way from the 2nd team and longer way to the top team (current gold/next year ecnl-r). The fourth team plays in the lowest NCSL division but has a chance at promotion. Someone posted a link to the NCSL schedule/results in the last few pages of this thread.[/quote]

Pretty typical. The tryouts at this club are a joke. They already know who is going to be on the number 1 and 2 teams.

-Lots of nepotism. Good luck folks if you haven't already been preparing to make a move.

-If Valor is going to make more than 3 teams, your changing age groups, it's likely that 4th or 5th teams will never be in a higher level of play or division. 
-I'd ask about how well their 4th and 5th teams did. Lots of smoke and mirrors. [/quote]

No one expects the 4th and 5th level teams to do well. I mean, come on. They are developmental. [/quote]

Wow. I hope you're not Coach. I guess why parents should spend the money for a non-developmental program. Are you saying, based on low expectations for development its best to stay away from 4th and 5th teams?

Nobody should be paying 1st/2nd team prices for 3rd teams or beyond, nor should clubs really push that but thats not the reality of club soccer in America as a business.  If a kid gets an offer for the 3rd team or beyond anywhere, rec soccer is likely a better option.[/quote]

But if they are paying $3000 and Team 1 kid is paying $3000, shouldn't they be hiring and paying the same level coaches for both groups? [/quote]

There aren't enough qualified individuals to fill that many coaching positions, nor is there pathway for individuals to get credentials easily at a low cost.[/quote]

If you pay enough, you can attract good coaches. I don't know how they seem able to fill the jobs for the higher teams with qualified coaches but not the lower teams.  They should charge less for teams that get less. [/quote]

Mmm yes please email them this and every club in the area and see the response you get back. [/quote]
