[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if there were reasons you avoided VYS initially but my son is on the U9 team with VYS and we all love it. The coach (who also teaches U10) is great and the group of kids is wonderful. They haven’t won a lot of games yet but my son is having so much fun that he doesn’t seem to care. [/quote]

Is this post fr?[/quote]

Why wouldn’t it be? Is it so difficult to believe that kids can have fun playing soccer even if they haven’t “won a lot of games” less than 1 month into the season?

Like other clubs, Vienna fields multiple teams at the U9 and U10 age groups. Their teams are competitive with the other teams in the area. We’ve had good experiences with the coaches at that age level. [/quote]

What is difficult to believe is that the parent seems OK with it.  If your DC team is constantly losing, and they are in the appropriate bracket, doesn't that say more about the coaching than the players?  The fact the parent is ok with it because the kid is "having fun" bothers me.  I guess it doesn't bother others as well.[/quote]

The kids are 8 years old.  I promise you they will never develop as players if their coach screams at them, their teammates are jerks, their parents are overly competitive, and they aren't having fun.  Isn't the season 3 games old?  And they have probably been practicing together for 6 weeks?  I'm not familiar with that team, but its likely they will win some games.[/quote]
