What "couple of local clubs" are "having issues"? Valor seems to have the most issues.

Maybe he meant 14 or 4. Or 40 for all of Valor?

There is no way *40* new players from 2009 are coming to tryouts.

Omg could you imagine? I think it maybe like 4. For obvious reasons Valor does not get much interest from outside the club. Maybe a new kid that moved into the area or a sibling but that is about it.

No way. Even if it was a good club and not Valor, 40 new high school aged players?

That is very possible. U15-17 has the most movement with teams loosing kids to other HS sports forcing the remaining players to move clubs to find other like minded players. NCSL teams trying to up a level.

We are taking a single age group--2009 boys. 40 new HS age players for a club that barely has 3 teams right now? Its laughable.

its a mix of current 8th grade and 9th grade boys.. there were a couple of local clubs having issues. So yes its not unexpected parents registered. Just dont expect them all to show up.

You dummies keep thinking Ryan is a soccer god. He's an average coach that got lucky with a strong age group, that is it. He is going to a 2nd tier league that is dying and bringing a team that is a slightly above avg group of girls.

i by no means think he is a soccer god. I do think the bar with valor coaches is so low even a ok coach at the club will be a great one in the eyes of parents.
RQ works with the girls, actively is invested in their development He wants the team to get better. Not only that he is proud of their accomplishments.

The rest of the coaches at valor are only in it for the paycheck and to supervise children on a field. Valor coaches=child care

These girls will all find their way to NWSL academies through playing in the GA.

At academy practices, the kids are put into smaller groups and rotate around different stations where they do different drills. I think one station is usually a small sided scrimmage. Team coaches come to the practices to run the stations. But I don’t think all of them have to come every single week. If I ask my child who was coaching, they will usually say it was a mix of coaches from boys and girls teams, and it seems to change week to week.

how do they pick the team with no coach?

Some higher up like PE will decide if they have enough kids to make another team and if they do they will hire a coach.

They expect people to commit and pay without knowing who the coach will be, seeing him interact with the players, etc? Thats wild

Academy is a once a week low intensity session that is similar to an average rec team practice.

It’s my kid’s least favorite practice of the week because of everyone being mixed and how long it is. Not sure how effective it is. Maybe it gets better at U11 with that agility training.
