[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts are ridiculous. Someone has a major inferiority complex with Loudoun soccer.[/quote]

Truth hurts. [/quote]

Whats the truth?[/quote]

As a former Loudoun parent, I haven’t seen any untruths out of the basic complaints:

1. Loudoun took the money (there’s no credible argument otherwise)
2. Loudoun nepotism in their coaching staff 
3. Loudoun prioritizes, promotes and elevates the players of well connected and family parents (I saw this up close)
4. The TD covers for it all with gaslighting

Those who have been there and witnessed it know.  Those who benefit are here to cover.  Loudoun is a club in the truest sense of the word.  There are families who are members of the club, then there are others who pay to support the club and in return get a lower level environment for their kid to play in as a bone.  That’s just the way it is there, so for those who want their kid to play at a higher level there, make sure you build or have an in there first.

As a parent who spent 6+ years with two kids playing travel soccer at LS, I have to say that I agree with almost all of what this person wrote.  I can't speak for #4 above because I never dealt with the TD but everything else is spot on.[/quote]

Yes, most people don’t deal directly with him, but he has a very big impact on the makeup of the travel teams from the very earliest ages.   There are coaches at Loudoun who have family children playing on preferred teams.  Friends of the staff have children on the top teams and there are also lots of children of parents in high local positions on the highest teams.  It’s not impossible for a less connected kid to make an upper level team, but they have to be extraordinary, which is rare in this area.  This is why their teams, outside of a scant few, underperform.  [/quote]

My family and have decided to pull our child out after this fall season. 2 more families are joining us from our team.

I know my neighbor, with child from opposite gender, is also leaving Loudoun. We experienced some of the above and we believe we don’t need to participate in any charlatan’s show in order for kids to enjoy and have fun.

Will I have serious problems obtaining my child’s player card? Some of the stories that have been shared here and shared to me via word of mouth aren’t very optimistic but I don’t see how they can hold it when season is over? We don’t pay in advance for this very reason. [/quote]

So almost a month after I get an email saying they can’t release my child’s player card unless I pay the winter fees because it’s part of the 2020 portion of the season? I feel like I’m being conned here and I’m unsure how to go about it. One poster suggested reach out to VYSA but it’s been almost 10 days and no word back.

Has anyone been in this situation before? With Loudoun or another club? Any suggestions are highly welcomed. TIA![/quote]

Pretty standard policy at the VYSA level. https://www.vysa.com/Default.aspx?tabid=2519941  
Also, pretty clear what Loudoun’s policy is. You should read more carefully. https://bsbproduction.s3.amazonaws.com/portals/28638/docs/travel/2020-21-ls%20financial%20policy%20x.pdf

If you can get the new club to pay all or a portion to what you agreed to pay Loudoun, then Loudoun will release you. They don’t care if your kid leaves they just want your payment which you agreed to. All the clubs require the same thing. Now, if you switch to a team that plays US Club vs VYSA, then no issue as the card system is totally separate. [/quote]
