[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overall, they do a decent job. It's a great place to play competitive soccer. Very serious talent typically goes elsewhere after age 12 or so. [/quote]

It’s an okay place to get to play travel soccer with kids that live near you and coaches that seem like nice guys. They have a full professional staff model and talk a good game, but the actual coaching and development is poor. The sessions (at least on the younger girls side) are basically babysitting dressed up to look like soccer. [/quote]

Younger girls teams have been the most successful part of the program.  [/quote]

Probably because the coaching at the youngest girls’ ages had been solely focused on 1v1 training. The coach did not develop the girls properly and because of this they are lacking in soccer iq at the next age group up. And all of this was done to win second and third flights in smaller tournaments. [/quote]

Curious what team/coach this was, as in 20 years in the area travel scene I have never heard that particular criticism of a vienna team. Typically it is all effort/defending/organization and lumping the ball forward. I don’t think I have even seen a team with a 1v1 or technical focus. Individual players, sure, but those are usually getting it from elsewhere (hop elite) rather than their VYS coach. [/quote]

I’m a DP, and am happy with Vienna’s girl’s program, but it is true that the girls u-littles focus a ton on 1v1s and technical skills. This is the emphasis under Vincent, who is the ED/TD for girls u-little. I actually think it might be a feature, not a bug. [/quote]

A good club for development should skew a little toward the individual at ulittles, then transition to team development in the years leading up to 11 v 11. I wouldn’t have a problem with this. [/quote]
