[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK folks now you know.

If your player get an offer from a valor team--especially a low level team--get it in writing that it will be a non-parent coach before you accept.

Really, you shouldn't have to do that because literally people leave rec for travel to get away from parent coaches and hey! you are paying $3000 but Valor tries to screw everyone over all the time.[/quote]

The thing is even if it is a paid coach with a decent resume it can still go bad. Last year our girls got a great coach on paper. In real life he was terrible. He missed games, practices, would cancel practice for no reason and in general did NOTHING with the girls at practice if he was to show up. We ended up having 7ish players leave the team It was bad.

This year we have a paid coach who has great intentions and he is doing his best.

Valor in general does NOT care about making your kid better, They only care about money. This works for us because our kid likes soccer but doesnt LOVE it. Location is great for games and practice. It is just something for them to do. IF your kid is serious about soccer it is not a secret to stay away from VALOR. We will probably keep losing kids over the years since the club cannot keep the kids that want to get better engaged.

We also had a kid on another team and at tryouts we were told who the coach would be. That august the coach decided to do something else and left us coachless. Our other kid LOVES soccer so we moved them but I would assume everyone is now aware that valor is just an expensive rec league. This should not be a surprise.

I feel like this is going to be us. It made sense to start at Valor because we had no idea about anything related to soccer and it was the club linked to the rec league. One kid has grown to love soccer and would love more of a challenge to get better. But it feels like this isn't the place to do it. The coaching isn't good enough and not enough kids care and/or are not learning. It feels like we have to get out if we want our kid to keep loving the game and improving. PP, was it hard to find a new place for your kid? I worry about having to go down a level just to get out. Agree that Valor is fine for a kid who likes but doesn't love soccer. This is our other kid too. [/quote]
