[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to the VDA 2012 girls? From what I can gather, they have not won a league game this spring.[/quote]

Team morale goes south quick when half the team is cut for the following year. This is the VDA way. [/quote]

Two thirds were cut and one of those is out for the rest of the year. 4 kids are still playing that will stay with the team. I’m surprised they can still put 11 kids on the field every weekend.[/quote]It’s an unfortunate situation. A lot of this has to do with AS vs BP. There is definitely a toxic environment. A lot has to do with half the team getting replaced with kids who have been playing a year older and are stronger. The other half is AS and how he has done a poor job helping kids push through and stay together as a team. AS seems to be a real problem, so I am curious if he well respected internally or at risk for the following year? I am sure the parents who are moving on have voiced their concerns to ML and/ or BP. Given how much focus VSA and PWSI spend on pathway to VDA, it appears from outside in that there is a big hurdle with AS. Do you think AS has staying power?[/quote]

That is a wake up call to the VDA chasers. VDA does not develop. Fact. They will take your money, suck their young teams parents dry until U-15 then dump everyone ( most with physicality and no technical skills) and bring ready players from outside. How is this development???[/quote]Arent a lot of the players coming from the 2011 team vs outside? Players do come from the outside, but a lot (majority) are repeats. [/quote]

So are the "younger" 2012s  at least going to the 2013s?[/quote]Very few kids are playing up next year. Just like every other year. I’m not as close to the 2012s but know the 2013s who could repeat repeated, so the same thing happened to the 2014s.[/quote]
