[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe parents of the little kids are clueless. Parents in the u11 and ups have been to a lot of all star tournaments, usually it is generally the same kids every season. Our all star coach said HYS had never had so many parents complaining as they had during the Valor thing last year. [/quote]

You are 100% right, it is the same kids year after year in the all stars. I don’t understand why some parents think so highly of these tournaments. The coaches are even worse. Yelling and screaming from the sidelines as if it’s the World Cup. All Star is nothing more than afterthought once the travel season is over and travel players are done using the fields. And from the sounds of it Loudoun soccer is the only program fielding a decent soccer team in the crappy Valor Tournament. I would NOT accept an invite to waste my weekend and money for my DC.[/quote]

My HYS kids have always had a good experience with Herndon tournament and the FPYC tournament. Last spring Valor tournament was ratchedy but at least they listened to the coaches and parents feedback and quit it.

Sorry your kids didn't enjoy the experience. All Stars is usually a lot of fun for kids who want more competitive soccer without paying for travel (and for our org, U11 and up do not have a regular season tournament, so this is the only tournament the older players get to experience.)

Agreed that Herndon and FPYC are better than Valor, but I disagree that Valor listened to anyone's feedback about anything... that is a bold statement that does not match with what is written on DCUM on many threads about Valor.

Second, your kid probably enjoys these tournaments because the coach picks your DC to go every season with his friends on the team. No other sport in rec (and definitely not travel) has this system of nepotism where coordinators pick their DC and friends to field an all star team. Just go to any travel tournament and you'll see soccer teams play the way it should be. Based on putting together a team to give them the highest probability to win, not the highest probability to hang out with friends.
