[quote=Anonymous]I had to take my sons off VLC because it was run so poorly.  It should be a great club because there’s a ton of “good but not elite”players in nova and they need a team.  I think it’s probably too late for VLC with True stealing their market share but here is how I would turn it around if I were in charge.

1. Fields. Why does true practice at Bishop O’Connell and Meridian high school with nice turf field and lights and Vlc practice is a barron and camron Park and Cav’  feild.  This is a killer in early spring with practices being cancelled because of wet fields and lack of light.

2. Communications.  We could not discuss practice times and locations with the Club. We had practices where less than half of the kids could attend.

3. Appropriate competition.  The VLC youth teams are not (with some exceptions) elite and we were forced to go to tournaments where we were playing top level teams. One or two reach tournaments are a great idea but when your team is getting killed weekend after weekend it is a morale killer. Again we tried to discuss with the club and we’re basically told to deal with it.

4. Coaches.   The quality of the coaching was inconsistent with a few great coaches but mostly mediocre at best coaching. Again parents approached the club and were told to deal.

5. Tryouts.  Tryouts were poorly run with very little actual evaluation and some head scratching decisions.

There is a place for VLC in Virginia.  But it needs to improve if it’s going to compete at the youth level.  [/quote]
