[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Valor steals money from the rec league.[/quote]

The institution strategically does this. I blame the leadership and other coaches for churching up the level of play. Its all smoke a mirrors until you have 20 losses and zero wins.  [/quote]

We previously played in a rec league that doesn't have an associated travel team and everything was so much better - like down to the uniforms, fields, and even the team photographers were all nicer and more professional. And it cost LESS than CYA. [/quote]

My HS kid played one season of SYA house/recreational soccer after we moved here. It was incredibly expensive for rec ($220) and then we had to buy two shirts for $45, then we had to go buy numbers adn iron on the numbers ourselves, which was a hassle and just odd. Show up for the first practice and the high school house league team is assigned a muddy field covered in dog poop. Big holes throughout the field. Coach told the kids to jog, not run, so they didn't break an ankle. The balls kept going into the woods. There were no nets on the goals which were just football posts. The park had beautiful artificial fields--being practiced on by little Valor travel players. Joined a different club the next season out of principle, frankly. Given that the high school rec team was almost all Hispanic kids and the little travel kids were almost all white or Asian....it was a really bad look for whoever assigns those fields. Still don't understand what the $220 was for-the coach was a volunteer and the season was just 7 games-some of them against other SYA house league teams--and no tournament. [b]If the money was being siphoned off for the travel league, [/b]that really pisses me off given they already got the good practice fields![/quote]

That is 100% what happens. Travel steals money from rec leagues.[/quote]
