[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PWSI and VSA are VDA.  There is nothing special about VDA.  It’s the same below average coaching your DS or DD has gotten since they were U9.  Only difference is the travel and costs.  The boys side has lost most the talent due to the decision to go ECNL.  [/quote]

It's amazing how quickly VDA deletes posts. Can't stand the truth. In any case, word of mouth is far more powerful in the business world and that can’t be deleted. [/quote]

Any coach, any sport, any league in the world is under same scrutiny. Either you win every game, or "something is wrong with you". You can never prove he is the reason a team lost and he can't prove he's the reason they won. His "great team" is winning... therefore, he's doing *literally* his job exactly as he should. He didn't take a super-team and tank them to mid-level, they are dominating. So, as for other teams, what do you expect? Every age group to be #1?  I'm sorry... did I miss the ECNL webpage where one club has a #1 team in every age..? Darn. So, it would seem that you're DD is either playing all the time, exactly where she should, or you're gonna cry. There is zero harm to anyone. Girls are going to college. The best team in the area continues to show it. The teams only gained girls and those that left did so at their free will. Children, not pros. The coaches are doing exactly as they should. Sorry you had a bad experience, but watch out for VDA to continue to rise rise rise :D[/quote]

You're a complete moron. You are not a good coach just because one team in a club is performing well. And that's the crux of your problem: you believe that having one good team out of a whole club qualifies you as a great coach, it doesn't. That's exactly what happened at BRYC; yes, the 03 were excellent, but all of the other teams were destroyed. Girls were made to feel bad and told they were worthless, leaving us with nothing to rebuild on. Grow up and become a better coach, recognizing the genuine talent you have in the whole team, and stop pushing the girls away and start mentoring them how to play as a team. [/quote]

Okay, Enough! MW wasn’t to blame for this weekends ass beating. We where missing our goalie which made a huge difference, We only had 2 subs for 2 away games. Our coach did the best he could with what we had and so did the girls. Both teams against us that we played had a total of probably 15 shots on goal the entire weekend, 9 of those goals went in, unfortunately. 5 set piece goals with 2 own goals during those set pieces. The goalies and players played there hearts out but it’s a huge issue when your goalie is out and you only have 2 subs. Stop bashing and trying to make him feel bad for things out of his control. We had our chances we had 25-35 shots on goal for the weekend compared to there 15. It just wasn’t there weekend. It happens, God you people need to get a life. [/quote]

Thanks for the details and hopefully some poor parents can understand a coach is a piece, not the whole pie.[/quote]

Yes, we know coach. Our kids will keep you employed. Be grateful. [/quote]

Even so, you have to admit that the trainings need to improve. We should spend the entire week practicing how we will play in the games. You can't have soft practices where you don't practice how you'll play and then switch positions at the last minute, especially if your goalie is out. Work on your technique with the subs. There was no game film, no learning, only crappy practices. When you don't, you're setting the players up for failure, which he does all the time. It’s an easy fix, I just think it’s laziness on the coaches. [/quote]

Cant be a VDA parent, you would know 1/3 of the team was out this week sick. 13/21 players travelled for the matches due to illness and college visits.

Spoken like a true VDA parent - tons of excuses when they lose, tons of bragging when they win[/quote]
