The Facebook page says they are an elite soccer club. I’m sure they care about those lower teams as much as the top teams.

If thats your kids team, shop around elsewhere. Tryouts have begun for most age groups and they haven't hired coaches. What they are saying is they don't care about these particular teams. These are disposable, weak teams and if they everntually find a coach, it will be someone not good/ qualified. i bet if you checked these teams would all lose all or most of their games.

Cory is an idiot. Human and coach. Valor leaders are just a bunch of greedy boys.
What makes you (both) say this?
Trying to understand what to expect.
He and the guy he works with, Karim, both act like they walk on water. Neither know how to develop or get the most out of players, both are demeaning.

if that's the case you might want to consider rec
This year it looks like they have four teams for U12 boys and are planning on four more next year. So your kid will likely make a team, but who wants to pay for team 3 or 4.

He's taking the best players to SYC. The team will be weaker. Valor is moving one of their well liked coaches over to that team to try and staunch the carnage
Valor has well liked coaches?
Its a huge soccer factory. There will be good, bad and mediocre coaches.

So why do the kids on those teams pay full price when they only have half a year of practices and games?
Good question
Because 09B top team - ENCL R was not told we wouldn't have a spring season. The 2nd and third team do have games. In fact, quoted earlier in this thread was the top team coach in early April still messaging to the parents on the top team that he was working on setting up scrimmages. That went no where. And the third team cannot convince enough of their players to play spring games so the other two teams have been sending kids to play. So at least if a top team player wants to play - they can play with the third team?!
So the third team is full of top team players? Sucks to be a third team player now.
Oh heck no - it's great! The boys from the third team that do show up now get to train (game) with better players -- a rising tide raises all ships. Again, the third team is not showing up in enough numbers at games to actually field a team -- it's not like they are being benched in place of a better player. They are all playing together. Their last game, even with inviting Gold and White players to play, they had TEN on the field throughout the entire game. So yeah, it would suck if the entire third team was showing up and getting benched, but as it has been, if they show up they play AND get to play with (ok sometimes marginally) better players.
ETA - and by 10 on the field I mean that was the mix of Gold, White, and Black -- ie, if that third team's kids had shown up, they could have actually had a full team to play (and maybe even subs - thank goodness it wasn't too hot).
