[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone gets any secret information at the tryouts about the coaching staff, please post here! [/quote]
2014's.  3 teams 3 coaches named.   [/quote]

Okay, who were the coaches?[/quote]

1st Team - Israel aka Stevie, aka “trust the process” of passing drills, scrimmaging, and playing in fear of making mistakes to the point of preferring to sit the bench or simply skipping games and events.

2nd Team - Cory Fick aka Girls Director responsible for hiring both Israel and Chris :) The division is such a mess he had to assign himself the 2nd team unless he’s simply a placeholder til he finds another coach. Only time will tell since he certainly wouldn’t tell a parent the truth. If the philosophy is, blow up the 14G division by driving the best players to Loudoun, VDA, or Revolution and then start over by promoting the 2nd team to the 1st, than Bravo Zulu. Selling the clout of the 1st team to parents on the current 2nd team should work. Hopefully there are enough new naive families coming in willing to accept playing on the second team since you know there’s no way in hell they’ll accept an offer from the 3rd team.

3rd Chris Rivera (same parent coach as now) If your a current player on the 3rd team and your fortunate enough that your dd still wants to play soccer another year, don’t worry, there should be plenty opportunities to move to the second team :) If not, then make sure your dd’s appt with her psychiatrist is right after training otherwise, simply go somewhere else. For the grace of the players and families, hopefully there isn’t a 3rd team next year.

Again, Bravo Zulu Valor. VDA here we come.[/quote]

What a bitter post.  Did Valor hold your child back from being the star on the top team you just know she should be?  Chris has been a great coach and I'd be happy to have him again next year.  If my dd is moved up I hope he gets moved up too.  He's definitely done a better job than the other two "professional" coaches I have experience with on the girls and boys side so far.  His daughter being on the team has never been a problem at all.  This isn't a "dad ball" or rec league situation.  His kid is really good.  If anything, I'm more worried she'll be moved up and he won't, and then he decides not to coach anymore.

Glad to see you go though. Sounds like you weren't a fun parent to be around anyway.  No one likes to talk to people who just complain all the time.[/quote]

DP and no offense, but I think your perspective is just going to be different being on the third team. The level of competition in the league that the first team is in is a big step up. If you go to the games you can see the gap in skill development and coaching between many of these other teams and Valor. The gap is widening, not closing. It can lead to some frustration. [/quote]
