[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Valor has a problem with evaluating talent and with proper coaching at the younger ages. It starts in the CYA/SYA rec leagues. Then it's a problem later on for a kid who is serious because they are behind their peers at other clubs who did have good training."

Being with Valor over the years...I am now seeing this as our child moves up the league...other leagues we play have players with much higher technical skills that I dont see being worked on in Valor practices...not sure who is at fault for that but sad we pay alot of money to have mediocre training with children who really do love soccer and maybe have potential that's not being tapped at all. And looking elsewhere puts our children at a huge disadvantage when Valor is "playing in the elite" league but not developing our children to play at that level.

Not hating on Valor but as a parent navigating this soccer world- with other children in other sports etc. and working full time...it would be nice to know the investment we and our family is making in Valor has an honest outcome.[/quote]

I played college soccer and I now have kids playing in travel.  So I have seen this expectation alot.   Most parents who are new to the travel expects that their kids will somehow get good with technical skill.  They do develop that during games and practices.  But the main focus of travel team is that they teach how to play soccer.  formations, using spaces, communication on the field, etc.   Individual skills are mostly learned outside team practices.  at home or HP or private training.  I know parents make fun of academy session at Valor but there are no other clubs actually do this except maybe Arlington.  Acedemy sessions actually do some technical training that kids need.
