[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]I didn't even know this club existed (or was being formed) until this week.  Looking at the clips on Instagram, I think I see a few familiar faces.  I believe they intend to post coaches on their website soon (I've gotten a few text messages from the TD whom we met two or so years ago).  One of the Insta posts suggested that there will be a "Meet The Coaches" Zoom call in mid-October.

Fielding four teams (per Insta)
Fees will be in the $5500 range (including AAU/USAV Nationals)
Practices start Nov. 6th
Open division play (intend to meet the requirements for CRHVA Bid Regionals)
First tournament in December
Cap Hill
Three qualifiers (Big South, NEQ, Music City)[/quote]

Good Lord 5K out the gate for a brand new club is outrageous [/quote]
Just wait until they figure that they cannot attract reasonably good players to do the laundry at the three qualifiers. [/quote]
100%. I wish I had half the confidence of some of these coaches who decide to start their own clubs.  Coming out of the gate with teams at 4 age groups and a full schedule of 3 qualifiers and other competitive tournaments is bold. At least they have coaches listed for most age groups. Sometimes new clubs launch without having enough coaches identified or practice space arranged and then have to scale back after families have already paid which is less than good. Seems like some of their coaches are coming from the St. James and at least one of the coaches listed used to coach for Cap City Elite which doesn't appear to be around anymore.

I'd like to believe they have the best intentions, but it sure feels like it would be more prudent to start off a little less ambitious and get some teams established for a season or two before traveling all over the country to qualifiers.
