[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those coaches that you are referring to are now gone for GFRSC and have been replaced.

One of the best things about GFRSC is that there is something for everyone-from recreational to high level (NPL).  Their technical director Rado Pletka is excellent and the focus is on individual development, love for the game, and then transitions into more tactical as they get older.  Depends what you want and if your child is able to get to that....not as "high level" as ECNL/Mclean YET but your kids can do other things (sports, music, extracurricular) which is much more difficult at that higher level.  Larger than Vienna.  Leadership is great in setting the tone for personal development, coaches positive and mentoring.[/quote]

This is a joke written by GFR to promote this politician.  Rado is a TD of a club who has produced nothing.  They have not one single state cup winner nor have they produced any quality teams under his direction.  His teams do not play in any major tournaments and he spends his entire summer and winter in Europe laughing as the GFR parents fund his trips.  He also doesn't develop individual players as not one GFR player (male or female) was identified for PDP this past year.  If you want to play for a club that promotes a TD that does nothing but lie then it's a fantastic club.  If you need any real proof just look at how many of the GFR board members own children play for other clubs.  This year he actually sent a letter threatening to not pay any of his coaches if they were not making enough revenue for the club.  So yes if you would like your son or daughter to play for a team that doesn't care about competing or developing and you as parents want to pay more than double for rec and at least 50% more on the travel side for inferior coaching and development then GFR is a great club.[/quote]

Brand new travel GFR U9 parent here. Is this the consensus about the program? [/quote]

If you live in GFR area, your 9 year old will be fine with the club and you'll enjoy a short commute to practices.  If he/she is a talented high level player, you will eventually end up moving him/her to a stronger club.  Travel soccer is about making money of the parents and GFR is no different from the majority of the local clubs in this respect. [/quote]

Numerous bad experiences with Rado Pletka as technical director and GFR soccer by multiple families. They only care and develop a few players who they evaluate as worthy. GFR has a few good coaches but overall they just want your money and really don’t care about 10,11,12,13,14 year olds developing.[/quote]
