We are not on the girls side. However, whoever lands SM on the boys side anywhere near our age group will have our attention. That is how quickly things can change if management understands how important quality coaching is to the equation.


I don't know who SM is but Im also on the boys side and keeping my eyes on TSJ as are multiple team members of my sons. They performed pretty well in some age groups in MLS 2 and kids are curious. I think tryouts for them will be crowded.

There are rumors that their girls' team will drop down to Aspire. I doubt he would come if that were the case. Does anyone know when we will find out where the teams will be sitting next season?

They don’t really have a cohesive facility plan. Are they a loudoun club or a Springfield club? Mason fields?

I think this is a step in the right direction for TSJ. Best of luck to Justin. I think he will affect change in a positive manner. We are not with the club but do some training with them from time to time and I think this a is a good move.

Welp that makes me happier to stay at ARL. Should have known when he was running that fake 3 v 3 tournament a couple weeks ago. Perfect place to double dip on his training business while coaching

Isn’t this the 4th GA director in the last 3 years? What a clown show. I’m sure this time, though, will be different.

Check their socials. They posted an announcement today. Their website is not up to date as they still have the other KT up there, the former director of rec/grassroots.
