I have talked with some parents from other clubs like you who felt like their teams were failing or uncompetitive - so maybe they could pick up some kids from those teams?
The good news is that the new coach (TBD) couldn't be any worse than the outgoing one.


It looks like they aren't hiring a third coach. Aren't tryouts tonight and still no coach
listed?
Surprising to me that they wouldn't try to roster a third, hopeless team just for the cash.


If they had enough kids they would absolutely put together a third team. Valor is as greedy as they come. They must not have enough kids


Some one count how many kids are at tryouts and report back

Given the 2011G team is in first but their coach is going to SYC, not surprised they moved a strong coach over. Although I did hear a few girls were following the coach to SYC and a few were going to NVA, it will be a much different team next year.


I heard six were going to syc

2011s and 2010s are still moving from rec to travel, but probably not to Valor.

Oh, and the 1 kid they moved down from white wasn't so a black team kid could move up. They filled the spot (plus the expansion slots from going to 11v11) with kids from outside Valor.

You are 2 weeks behind all the other regional teams in tryouts and some have already concluded. With that, they have locked in some of the players you never even saw. Every year, we as parents scratch our heads trying to figure out how you are supposed to grow if you make these same basic mistakes. Tryouts start in late April, not Mid May and you aren't good enough for kids to pass on other clubs.
dont worry the debacle of FVU it hit the other ECNL teams who had to drop players..which then forced more players into RL. And some other RL players are looking for homes. I suspect they will get some decent kids to show.


Valor knows it cannot compete with the other teams around here. They are happy to pick up the kids other teams did not pick up for the season.

Look at how other clubs train vs valor. Any kid that is into soccer leaves once they realize valor is a sinking ship for development.

+1000

Why hold tryouts for the youngest age group (2016) first and then the older age groups so much later?? The youngest kids are the least likely to be going to other tryouts. They are the families coming from rec to give travel soccer a try for the first time at the place closest to home. You could hold their tryouts last and the numbers wouldn't change.

Top teams are going to fall apart and the idiots at the top will be scratching their heads why. Well because you gave your players 2-3 weeks to go around to all the other tryouts and get offers that they had to decide on before you even started yours.
