[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left valor after our first year there due to the terrible coaching and abusive environment but IG just recommended a valor post. Apparently the club has finally scammed enough families for their coaches to take a trip to spain? Hopefully they learned a lot from their time there because they need it. But what an utter waste of money for them to go there on the teams dime. They should be sending kids there for tournaments and not the coaches. [/quote]

Good for you for getting out.[/quote]

I concur… we’ve moved on. My children’s previous team in Valor is now four divisions lower.

-New parents should inquire about which teams or divisions are available this year for new parents interested in joining the club, or any club for that matter, in order to get a true idea of the performance level of the team they are joining or the coach they will most likely receive. I would recommend avoiding clubs who communicate "we don't have a coach yet" or fail to send you an offer letter the weekend after tryouts. That suggests they've already settled on the #1 and possibly #2 team rosters.

Furthermore, I would recommend steering clear of teams that are tier 3 or below. I bring this up because generally, the top team (the number 1 team) tends to have more chances for guest play at various levels, compete in additional matches, or gain access to extra training sessions: hence higher-performing players (sadly though, this isn't always the case): There are always those who slip thru the cracks and is often comes down to pay-to-play or keeping parents satisfied.

During routine training sessions with top-level teams, there are often better opportunities to shop around other clubs ahead of waiting for IDs or tryout sessions in the spring. Just contact the local and different clubs' technical directors/level 1 coaches around the area.

In summary, why be a slave to one club development timeline to improve your kid. Travel soccer is a time and resource constraint as is. I will say, your expectations ought to be low for those sitting on the sidelines waiting for any club/coach to develop your child. Objectively speaking, they only have your kids for 5-6 hours a week.
