I bet your kid is on his social media twice a week.

Agree with pp, he will be lucky to get permits in Fairfax for unlit grass fields, with no rec org.


Its not about "connections". The County has strict guidelines when it comes to issuing space and all the turf is spoken for by the big youth clubs already. He might get some sad unlit muddy grass fields in Clifton or Great Falls.

His bigger issue is finding quality coaches for all the teams.

It's a money grab. He's got a good handle on kids from multiple local clubs that he plays together to win tournaments and use as PR. He's just trying to bring in new clients and seem more exclusive when he has very little to do with any of those players' actual development. Recruiting talent is not the same as developing talent yourself.

Yes, it looks like it’s either a scenario where he doesn’t like the current talent or wants to bring in more money.


All clubs have annual tryouts, that part is normal. I would seek more information, will this be a tournament only club or will all teams participate in a league? You can easily have two team levels or just have two teams with split talent. What can happen with adding additional teams is that the coaching get diluted and spread out, especially for tournament weekends. A lot of, pop-up clubs, have these growing pains. Since this is a for profit, training will be limited and packed. Then, for weekend games, you will have a rotating cast of coaches. They have very few qualified coaches at this point.
