[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a nearby club and have had multiple Valor kids show up and practice with our ds's team this year. Two in the fall, two different kids this spring. That seems like a lot from the same place. [/quote]

What team did they play for? Silver? Blue? The team matters; maybe there isn’t any movement to a higher team.

If they are all gold players from same team….[/quote]

IDing is smart and free... especially if you're trying to get on a higher team.

A few kids looking is standard. Loudoun and fcv hemorrhaged players this winter to the point of pulling rec kids up to fill spots. That's not happening at Valor.

It's a money grab at low level teams for sure; Valor coaching style is much better than other local programs. As someone said already you can plow through competition with a couple really good players when they are young. Very few clubs are working on actual field play moving into 9v9 and 11v11, which at least I've seen happening at Valor. [/quote]

There isn't any movement from 4th and 5th teams even if you kids is better than 2nd or 3rd level team players. Looking at last years teams that were not first, second or third teams, only 2 moved up and the rest of the parents left. Doesn't say much for opportunity. Valor will even sub players from higher level teams to win games. [/quote]

This is the case at every club in the area. I've heard of two kids moving up to first and second team from 4th teams and they are amazing and threatened to go to other clubs before being moved up that high. This isn't just a valor problem. 90% of the time you have to leave your club to make higher teams no matter how good they are. [/quote]

I agree. Seems to be the direction needed in order to look out for your kids equity. It’s unfortunate you have defend, poke or attempt to open any dialog with no resolve. I think for all parents here its best to hold on tightly to the purse strings even after the season before committing to any team that doesn't fit neatly into your kids level of play. They always have openings. [/quote]
