[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very bitter for the 2007 boys. Their VA Union team got dismantled for their very last year of soccer. Very few made it to the new team as the Brave coaches gave preference to their players. And to go back on their decision a year later. 
Many boy parents could see this coming when they announced it, many boys parents were vocal but completely ignored. SO much incompetence that it is making my head spin. My son youth soccer years are over and it is such a relief. 
The main issues are:
- Coaches are typically just good soccer players but are receiving little to NO training on youth psychology. You wouldn't trust a teacher without it, and yet, we let those men with overinflated egos train our kids. 
- Administration is in it for the $$. Protecting their  salaries while providing as little work as possible. 
- Boards are useless because either their kids are on the teams and they just act in the best interest of their child or to get the favors of their coaches. OR they get the position to look good on their resumes or shine in society. 
This is broken in so many places that I have little faith it could be fixed. [/quote]

It does suck for the 2007 boys that were on both the previous VA Union and BRAVE teams and didn't make the new merged team. A lot of great boys lost the opportunity to play their last year of soccer together with teammates that they had for years. But let's not sugar coat it either. VA Union was not a world beater; in fact, the old 2007 BRAVE team had beaten the VA Union team and was higher in the standing the last year that they were individual teams. And the merged team was a pretty even split of VA Union and BRAVE players that were on the new 06/07 team with only 1 or 2 extra players from BRAVE, which should be expected.

I'm not disagreeing with your other points. [/quote]
