[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe we are discussing the quality of a lower level team at Valor.  Do you think it's different at any club?  Your kid is placed at the level that he/she belongs and if that isn't good enough for you feel free to fish but you will end up with the same.  Focus on personal development.[/quote]

I'm a Valor parent with a child on the top team and am happy with my kid's experience and coaching. I can attest that the lack of quality of the lower teams at least in my son's age group. Whether that's based on talent or coaching or a combination of the two, I have no idea.

IMO - this whole thread can be summed up as: if your child can make either the top team or second team, they are most likely going to have a quality coach. After that - you run the risk of less talented teammates and lower quality coaching for the same price as the top team. Think that through before you commit.[/quote]

Finally, an honest and valuable comment from a parent. Agree. Don't wait for the club to come through. We sought out and looked for a good coach, not the club. My kids practiced with several other clubs before we down selected. Keep your options open. Lots of your resources go into these activities and you should get the best value (coach) out of it as much as possible. To be fair, I will say there is a limit to what significant improvement you will see with any coach. Unless you're willing to lower your expectations, its time and more time on the ball that will improve your kid's performance. Your kid should be touching the ball for at least 20 minutes a day in some fashion. If not, you're not going to see much of an improvement.
