Subject: GFR 09 girls playing at 08
The coach for the u10 team is a screamer and says crappy things about her team and the team they are playing. If I was a parent at GFR- I would have pulled my kid out. I have witnessed it at two games against GFR and it is awful.
They are a good team but not great.

hard to distinguish yelling instructions from negative yelling, not a lot of smiles?

to question OP posed:
team looks well-coached at organized possession, play back and switch point of attack well
style of play instilled into the team and strength is disciplined play
technically the players improve but individual flair not obvious in the team's approach
do not know that it can be coached but do not see that it is stifled either

How are their 2010 boys? Do they have a strong team?

I have been very impressed with the 2009 boys as well.

I think the merger probably helped this club immensely, especially at younger ages, in essentially doubling the talent pool available for each top team. The 2009 boys Napoli team is quite good and the merger attracted some talent from other clubs as well.
Definitely. The Girls 08 team has only 3-4 girls who were previously on the GF top team. The rest came from CYA (where coach came from) and a mix of other area clubs. Maybe 1 from Reston.

This has nothing to do with spirit. It is a U10 team.... one of the great Falls girls coaches who was driven out a year or two ago for too much yelling and bad behavior recruited kids at U7 and U8 to form this team when she was also assignes to coach the Ulittles.this was supposed to be her team but she got booted from the club.
I belIive some players were originally from sterling or from other clubs, not even great falls.
Ironically the coach who replaced her has the same approach

Thanks for constructive comments.
I was really asking if individual flair is accepted/promoted/suppressed as part of this team.
I should not have asked about yelling in this forum and maybe should not have asked about a specific team given the response.

GF and Reston are not proven on the girls side period. Reston was ok for awhile but GF has always had poor quality teams. This is not slamming on a club just the facts. I hope someone is going to improve GFR so that it will help WS.
Glad you are amused.
People aren't defending, just observing. Pretty apparent what is going on with regard to the constant attacks on WS.

I've seen this team play 3 times and the coach is always the same and at least one girl cries each game so it isn't that she was just having a bad day.
Fake news
Well, the WSVA hater needs to legitimize their views that GFR is a crap pipeline, so it only makes sense that they try to trash GFR here.
There are some very good young players in the GFR system, so the hope is that they move onto the DA as they grow, it's a way to change coaches and a future strength for WS. Everyone wins. Except for the WS troll.
This is not trolling a whole club this is talking about one specific team and whether that coach develops her players. All clubs have a couple good players. This coach teaches kick ball and public berating of children.
Now you can continue your undying support of all things WSVA.
Let me refer to a quote from earlier in this thread:
"Great Falls has a proud tradition of girls coaches who are yellers"

Thanks for continuing to make the point. Can't wait for you to share how much they are paying you for your diligence in posting. Truly amazing!
