That will be their 3rd ID session this spring (other two were already held), so probably yes.[/quote]

If you are interested just email Tom and come to a practice.[/quote]

It looks like George Hales has taken the reins.  Everything important us being done by him, so I'd say email George.  that's ghales@washspirit.com.  [/quote]

Wow.[/quote]

Wow is right.  Not the right answer for long-term success at WSVA.[/quote]

Why?  George is an excellent coach.   [/quote]

What makes him an excellent coach?  Serious question.[/quote]

Same question here.  The lack of improvement from year to year for the U17s?  The -63 goal differential in 19 games?  The style of play shown here?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmN8rgWl8-Y

Excellent in what way?[/quote]

You can't look at scoreboards to see the improvement because the VA side has been plagued by large rosters and play ups.  Spirit VA took on players they shouldn't have and played up players the shouldn't have.  That impacts the entire squad for multiple age groups.

Since you choose to pick on the U17s, they have an excellent 03 goal playing on the 19s, a first class 02 centerback again up on the 19s, and a midfielder and a forward.  All of these players could have been difference makers of the 17s.

The 17s have also constantly had players thrust on them that shouldn't be there, on the field and in goal.

All of the teams have had this problem.  Tighten the rosters, move players to their correct age group, and see the difference.  Some people think if your kid isn't playing up, they aren't good, which is ridiculous.  Great players play at age all the time. [/quote]

Playups often come back to age  and get surpassed. It's not what its cracked up to be. [/quote]

More often than most people realize.  [/quote]

Ahhh… the sage wisdom of the forum poster …  Yes, eventually everyone does mature into a young adult.  Wow, we didn't know that.
